I love seeing what books others are reading, so I decided that I would also post a list of the books I am reading or hope to read in the near future. I always think that buying books is a wise investment because they provide so much wisdom and insight (but that may just be how I justify my purchases since I spend more money on books than anything else!).
The books I've read so far in 2009 are on the sidebar (scroll down).
Books I'm Currently Reading:
Jesus the One and Only by Beth Moore I am using this book with my devotions in the mornings and enjoying the indepth study of Christ's life on earth.
Holy Cows and Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer's Guide to Farm Friendly Food by Joel Salatin I began reading this book so I would be better prepared to answer customers' questions at farmers markets. Mr. Salatin's witty humor makes the book very easy to read.
The New Agritourism: Hosting Community and Tourists on Your Farm by Barbara Berst Adams Agritourism is a largely untapped industry with incredible potential. I'm reading this book in hopes of finding agritourism avenues that our farm could pursue for additional income.
Already Gone: Why Your Kids Will Quit Church and What You Can Do to Stop It by Ken Ham and Britt Beemer This book interests me because I have seen so many teenagers/young adults walk away from Christ and the church. The authors present overwhelming statistics and their opinion regarding battling this raging epidemic that is sweeping the churches of the western world.
A Full Quiver: Family Planning and The Lordship of Christ by Rick and Jan Hess I am reading this book to establish a firm conviction with a biblical foundation in regard to my beliefs on the blessing of children (Psalm 127:3-5) and allowing God to be in control of family size.
Upcoming Books:
Knowing God by J.I. Packer
Letterbook of Eliza Lucas Pinckney: 1739-1762 by Eliza Lucas Pinckney
My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
The First 90 Days of Marriage: Building the Foundation of a Lifetime by Eric and Leslie Ludy
When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy by John Piper
Susanna Wesley: Servant of God by Sandy Dengler
Living the Cross Centered Life by C.J. Mahaney
Marriage to a Difficult Man: The Uncommon Union of Jonathan and Sarah Edwards by Elisabeth D. Dodds

Ah,A Full Quiver. This book is on my "Read every year list" of books. My mom bought me my own copy for my birthday after I told her that I was interested in 1) Have a large family and 2) reading the book.
It's one of those books I tend to go back to after being criticized for being open to having as many children as God will bless me with.
I have not read any of Salatin's books, but my dad has and I have heard him talk about Salatin's books while talking with customers at markets. :D
I have the revised edition of My Utmost for His Highest, it's one of my daily devotionals. An excellent way to start the day. Highly recommend it.
Meredith, all these books you have listed filled me with inspiration!!!
Some great material there. I have read both the book on Susanna Wesley, and the one on the Edwards family and enjoyed them a lot! Biographies are usually inspiring.
