I bought two books last night on Amazon.com. The first book is called, The Call: Finding and Fulfilling the Central Purpose of Your Life by Dr. Os Guiness. The reason for choosing this book I'm going to see Dr. Guiness speak this Friday night here in the cities. He's supposedly a well renowned speaker and his talk is going to be about where he believes the church is going to be in 5-10 years and how the postmodern world is impacting Christians and the spreading of the gospel. It should be an interesting perspective - or so I hope. Anyways, this book that he wrote is supposed to be on the same subject, and was one he recommended to read for deeper understanding.

The other book I'm going to get is called The Almost Christian Discovered (Puritan Writings) by Matthew Mead. The theme behind this book is pointing out what the typical believing Christian does to make him unsaved, even though the Christian thinks they are. A better way to describe the book as stated by a reviewer, "The author takes example after example of people who demonstrated great signs of spiritual life but were never truly converted to Christ or as he puts it be 'an almost Christian'."

I'm anxious to get these books... especially with my upcoming flight to NYC. Nothing like a good book to read while on a plane!
