1. One book that changed your life:<\/strong>
\nTo all you cheats, no\u2026not the Bible. That\u2019s an omnibus with sixty six (or so) volumes in one. That being said, I\u2019ll have to go with Romans<\/a>. It gave me a full picture of my depravity, the need of a savior, my inability to work to merit salvation, and the ultimate end of God keeping me to the end by the power of Jesus Christ through faith.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. One book that you\u2019ve read more than once:<\/strong>
\nI can\u2019t say Lord of the Rings because that would be an omnibus of six in one books. Also I will make a concerted effort not to repeat any of my previous answers so I have to winnow down my options to a one shot book. The answer then is Dune<\/a>. It doesn\u2019t force me to read the rest of the series, it stands on its own and it\u2019s not two books in one.<\/p>\n

3. One book you\u2019d want on a desert island:<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s see, I\u2019m on a desert island and I get to pick a book to go with me. It won\u2019t be Dune and although I love Romans I\u2019ll need other books to make the time worthwhile. Nah, I think I\u2019ll take I\u2019ll go with How to Survive Anything, Anywhere by Chris McNab<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. One book that made you laugh:<\/strong>
\nWicked\u2026I can\u2019t pick Hitchikers Guide since it\u2019s a Trilogy of Five books\u2013and that was hilarious! I\u2019ll go with A Brief History of Time<\/a> by Stephen Hawking.<\/p>\n

5. One book that made you cry:<\/strong>
\nI will become the ultimate source of ridicule, rivaling MCF. My answer is Love Comes Softly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. One book that you wish had been written:<\/strong>
\nFalling Short of God\u2019s Glory: An Analysis of all Theological Frameworks and Their Shortcomings by Rey’s A Heretic<\/p>\n

7. One book that you wish had never been written:<\/strong>
\nChosen by God (Sproul). What a joke. If I could get through Pink I would blame him but beside that the Prayer of Jabez. Ugh. I won’t even link to them.<\/p>\n

9. One book you\u2019ve been meaning to read:<\/strong>
\nHoles (Newberry)<\/a>. It sits on my shelf while I devote time to my yearly Tolkien reread.<\/p>\n

10. Now tag five people:<\/strong>
