What kind of research books?

I'm researching discipleship right now ... books include
The cost of discipleship ~ dietrich bonhoeffer
What Jesus is all about ~ henrietta mears
parables of Jesus ~ james montgomery boice
god's method with man ~ g campbell morgan
and the mind of the master ~ robert e coleman

Then I have a bunch of books on oerder for a complete bible commentary by a woman who I can't remember her name just now.

I spend a lot on books but it fills the time

I have so many I really should get rid of. Many times I'd be going through this or that, and would pick up a book to address the situation, or help me get a better perspective on what the bible says on it, only to find I got a chapter or two into it and either got my answer or just didnt finish reading. Many half-read books are collecting dust, I really should give them to someone(s) who can benefit by them.

Somehow I missed this post. Sorry about that. I have lots of books like that too, with bookmarks at the place that I left off. I usually begin a subject from a bibliography from the back of a book and am off on another field of study. Altho I don't think I leave a subject unexplored before going on to the next, hence the book giveaway would be handy. I still have 5 boxes of my brother's theology books in storage to go thru

Hey, np at all .
My church does set up a table outside our bookstore, ppl donate books and even gift items, and they sell I think 1$ for paperbacks, 2$ for hardback, but I think I might just give them to one of the christian charity/thrift stores ... But then again, they get so many, I wonder how many just get tossed after a while. Maybe I should pray about it and ask the Lord how they would best serve Him, keep open to using them almost like a large tract, to minister to someone in need. Or I could shut off the computer and actually read them myself. .... Naaaahhhhhh lol.

Around 2000 AD I gave away most of my Presbyterian & Reformed books. They didn't reflect my beliefs so I stopped using them. I had a surprising number. I gave them to Westminster Presbyterian Church theological library. It expanded their library by about 20%. They were appreciative.

 

[Cassia]

The books downstairs are all brethern books I think. I gave away 2 boxes and the only book from it that I read was a typology book. (very concise and hard to condense)

Someone down the hall keeps bugging me to go thru them but I think I'll sit on it for awhile.

 

[Cassia]

Actually all of his books were from secondhand stores. A lot of mine are but they're from the 1800's-1960 rarely any books above that. Some really good finds

 

[MoreCoffee]

my books were bought new

Mine seem to run the gamut. A few very old, some brand new. Mostly really good teachers, though.

But some not without controversy, tho.

But some not without controversy, tho.

Everybody needs to be where they will learn the most. If for some that's controversial material then so be it. What we let influence us is reflected in what we have become and the direction in which we're going. The art is nothing less than working out our own salvation in fear and trembling. Maturity I would suspect comes from being able to cope within that sphere.
