Walter Hansen (I enjoy commentaries and DA Carson edited this &#8211; At 400 pages, it should be fairly thorough)<br \/>\n<em>Calvinism: A History<\/em> by DG Hart (I&#8217;ve wanted to read this for a while)<br \/>\n<em>The Brilliant Reality of ADHD<\/em> by Hutchinson<br \/>\n<em>What&#8217;s Your Worldview<\/em> by James Anderson (because I used to have interactions with James ~15 years ago and he&#8217;s brilliant)<br \/>\n<em>Every Good Endeavor<\/em> by Tim Keller (because I have it and I like the author)<br \/>\n<em>Sort Your Brain Out<\/em> by Lewis and Webster (because I have it and I love popular level books on the brain)<br \/>\n<em>The Orthodox Church <\/em>by Anthony McGuckin (I loved his book on Cyril, so I hope I&#8217;ll feel the same with this one)<br \/>\n<em>The Retail Champion <\/em>by Rayner (because I want to be a champion)<br \/>\n<em>Glorious Ruin<\/em> by Tullian Tchividijan (because I really like this author a lot)<br \/>\n<em>Pain<\/em>: <em>The Science of Suffering<\/em> by Wall (because after reading related books and my shoulder problem being resolved, I&#8217;m very much interested in understanding more)<br \/>\n<em>Calvin and Calvinism<\/em> by Warfield (because I have it and my friend Ben referenced it today)<br \/>\n<em>The Trinity and Subordinationism<\/em> by Giles (very much interested in this since watching a debate of his on youtube)<br \/>\n<em>The Triune God: A Historical Study of the Doctrine of the Trinity<\/em> by Fortman (I love these sort of historical surveys and I hope it will be like Letham&#8217;s book)<br \/>\n<em>Rediscovering the Triune God<\/em> by Grenz (because he deals with Rahner, Barth, Moltmann, and other recent work on the trinity that I&#8217;d like to get a grasp of)<br \/>\n<em>The Quest for the Trinity<\/em> by Holmes (because I am interested in this author&#8217;s contribution)<br \/>\n<em>De Trinitate<\/em> by Augustine (because I should read the whole thing carefully)<br \/>\n<em>Augustine and the Trinity<\/em> by Ayres (because I hope it will shed light on the above)<br \/>\n<em>The Trinitarian Theology of St Thomas Aquinas<\/em> by Emery (I anticipate this will be very difficult)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read 42 books in 2014.
