More Books Lists & A Christian Conference

Sometimes I think I browse online looking for books I want to read more than I actually read books. A few days ago I posted Reformed Theological Seminary's recommend reading list. Today (and by today I mean 2:30 AM on Friday, January 19th), I ran across John Piper & Desiring God Ministries' recommended reading list. Once again, there are a lot of titles, but I think this one is better organized than the other list. I've also created a wish list of books I hope to purchase and read soon. Actually, there's a fat chance of me getting the time to read Herman Bavinck's 4-volume set of systematic theology time soon, but I can always dream, right?

Also, on a slightly but not really related note, Tim Keller, pastor of the large Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, will be speaking in Memphis tonight at Second Presbyterian's "Cruciformity" conference. Keller does only one conference a year, and this is it. If all goes as planned, I'll be there and will give you my thoughts afterwards on the blog. If you're interested, check out the conference page here; it's free. Technically the conference lasts through Saturday, but I won't be able to make it on that day.

Update: I went to Friday night's session, and it was very good. To listen to the sermons, go here; for full sermon notes, go here. By the way, Second Presbyterian also announced next year's spaker at the Christian Life Conference: Richard L. Pratt!
