On Books ...I need to remember to buy when I get Home

Wilberforce, by John Pollock
Watching the English, by Kate Fox (The hidden rules of English behavior)
Genius, Grief and Grace by Dr. Gaius Davies
Calvin (biography), by Bruce Gordon

I've enjoyed reading my friend Julian Hardyman's new book (he gave me an autographed copy so I don't have to buy one :) ), Idols: God's Battle for our Hearts.

Another book highlight: The daughter of Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones attends Julian's church, Eden; years ago she was downsizing her library and gave Julian her father's copy of C.H. Spurgeon's autobiography.

Spurgeon is one of the spiritual father's I'm "visiting" here in England. His autobiography was where I first read of the great and glorious doctrines of grace.

Lloyd-Jones is also a spiritual hero-father whose steps I'm tracing a bit here in England; so to be able to read over his personal copy of Spurgeon's autobiography was special.
