Lewis As for why? Because there are desires inside every soul which have no resolution on this side of eternity. All pursuits of happiness lead to dead ends (money, drugs, pleasure, power, fame, etc). They never quite satisfy. Why? Because we were supposed to be satisfied by an infinite God. It's my best reason to rely on God. Good post. Here's mine:

I think my list is close to that long, but I have so many books to read I'm probably blocking some out. And, that looks like a lot of great books. Let us know how they are later.

I just got it a couple days ago, so I'll probably start reading it while listening to the audio. Looks like it’s available through July.

I think we use the "study bible" a bit too much, and having the Bible read a little more like a "book" or "letter" (which is how they were really written) would be a big plus.
