What I'm reading. June 2011. Some first impressions.

When I'm not trying to get through my 200+ South African law cases for exams this is what I'm reading:

"Emotional Purity, An Affair of the Heart", Heather Arnel Paulsen

So far this book has challenged my idea of what a godly, non-romantic relationship between a man and a woman looks like. She has great insight into how the heart works,I can only take it in one chapter at a time- very deep!



"Tender Warrior, God's Intention For A Man", Stu Weber

Stu Weber must be a man's man. The war/scout/football references were really cool at first & then I just got a bit tired of them. Where are the long Jane Austen-esque descriptions? 200-word sentences? Where are the paragraphs about how you feel? All I've been reading are short sentences and bullet points. Everything's straight to the point, no stories like a present for me to unwrap, no surprises. Must be a man's book. 'Cause it feels really foreign to me. Reading more requires a mindset shift on my part. Liking the chapter on women.


"Good Morning Holy Spirit", Benny Hinn

Benny Hinn's book on fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit. Keen!

Giggling Windows

I’m sitting in the Rhodes University library reading room on my laptop and I hear giggling. Weird giggling, like the Wayans brothers on White Chicks when they say in their girly voices, “What a beautiful chocolate man, ha-HA-ha!” But no one else hears the giggling and in a split second I go through all the possibilities of what it could be. Invisible spiritual beings? Turns out there’s a man behind me cleaning windows next door, but instead of making a squeaking noise the windows are giggling. Awkward. Oh wow, he just walked in and is cleaning behind me now. The giggling just got closer...
