Summer Reading Suggestions

From time to time I like to give a little insight into what I am currently studying or reading as a way to give some insight into where I am being challenged and to make recommendations for others. My reading seems to have slowed down in the last year, which naturally happens at the stage of life I am in with a family and being bi-vocational. Nevertheless, I am still always working my way through a few books at a time and always enjoy passing along recommendations. 

Counter Culture:A Compassionate Call to Counter Culture in a World of Poverty, Same-Sex Marriage, Racism, Sex Slavery, Immigration, Abortion, Persecution, Orphans and Pornography by David Platt

A Meal with Jesus: Discovering Grace, Community, and Mission Around the Table by Tim Chester

Flesh: Bringing the Incarnation Down to Earth by Hugh Halter

Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots by J.C. Ryle

I would love to hear what some of you are reading and where you are being challenged. Please send recommendations my way!
