My Nonfiction Reading List

I have a long list of books that I want to read. The stack has been piling up over the last few months since work has been so crazy. I'm really getting the reading itch again though and hope to be able to devote more time to knocking some of these books off my list.

Here's my list:
Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahaney - I'm about a third of the way through this and it's already made me rethink a viewpoint I had about stay at home wives (not to be confused with SAHM or Stay At Home Moms).
Crazy Love by Francis Chan - I'm about two thirds of the way through this and I can tell you that Francis Chan is as excellent of an author as he is a speaker.
Forgotten God by Francis Chan - Another partially completed book. This one has already had a huge impact on me in regards to how I look at the Holy Spirit.
Dug Down Deep by Josh Harris - Once again, about a third of the way through. Joshua Harris books are awesome.
Boy Meets Girl by Josh Harris - I've read this book too many times to count. It's an excellent book on relationships even if it is a bit conservative for a lot of people's tastes. It's been so long since I've read it that I've decided to refresh myself on it.
The Purpose of Man by AW Tozer - I got introduced to AW Tozer by reading Josh Harris' blog and I've been intrigued ever since. He strikes me as someone similar to CS Lewis but with a much easier to read writing style.
Experiencing the Presence of God by AW Tozer - Another AW Tozer book that Borders had in stock and that intrigued me.
Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey - Being a personal finance junkie I suppose it's only fair that I read one of the most popular personal finance books around. Especially since it is "Christian".
Just Do Something by Kevin DeYoung - I read this book cover to cover in a week and it changed me! I'm going to write a blog post about it.
Money, Possessions and Eternity by Randy Alcorn - When this arrived I realized it was a much larger book that I had anticipated. I'm probably going to read it more as a reference book than something I read cover to cover.

Mandy, I am so happy you are finding Crazy Love and Forgotten God to be great books! I was so happy Francis put out a book on the Holy Spirit, because the last three years of my life have been an ever developing experience in all things Holy Spirit! I hope you continue to be blessed by your time in both of Francis' books!
