This site would not be complete without some resources such as downloadable reading journals, papers on vision and worship. Also listed are some other great books I've read, but have been unable to comment on except for a rating.


Reading Journals

These are not book reviews as much as they are reactions to the authors' styles, thoughts, and approaches to particular subjects. Eric has tried to put down in writing those things which stood out in each work.
