"Of Making Many Books There is No End"
This post is in connection to Mihilis and Baylor who are my friends...at times.
1. One book that changed your life: I know that this will be certainly weird, but Shepherding a Childs Heart by Tedd Tripp. If Websites were up for grabs I would say DGM.Org ever since I stumbled upon it when I was a 2nd semester Freshman at NBBC.
2. One book that you've read more than once: Biblical Separation, by Ernest Pickering (I know I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry).
3. One book you'd want on a desert island: Bible (ESV/NIV depends what mood I was in the day that I wound up on a desert Island). If Bible does not count I would want Desiring God.
4. One book that made you laugh: Mark Twain's, A Murder, A Mystery and A Marriage. Had I actually read it, I would probably have put Dave Hunts, "What Love is This"
5. One book that made you cry: Absolutely Free! By Zane Hodges. Another would be "The Spiritual Life of Theological students by B.B. Warfield.
6. One book you wish had been written: Tuesdays with Adam Thomas. You know, a book about my worldly wisdom kind of Solomon like. Someone needs to chronicle my journey and milk my thoughts.
7. One book you wish had never been written: Biblical Separation (and all look alikes)
8. One book you're currently reading: Give Praise to God (Ryken, Thomas (not adam) and Duncan).
9. One book you've been meaning to read: Lectures on Calvinism By, Abraham Kuyper
10. Tag 5 others: I only have 5 friends and they tagged me.
11. Name one book you've read that really sucked: Again, Biblical Separation ( and all look alikes).
Good day to all.

Yeah, #6 made this one post that really made me laugh.
Adam,
Speaking of books, do you know of anything that would be a good intro to textual criticism. I am interested in reading something basic; however, I do not want something too basic that leaves out important points. Yet, I do not want something over my head. Any advice from you or other readers?
Thanks,
James

I think that Intro. to NT Textual Criticism by J. Harold Greenlee is kind of the standard intro. I think everyone has to interact with it to some degree. Then Interpreting the Pauline Epistles by Schreiner touches on the practice of TC also.
If you can find a deal online or a used bk shop Metzger's Textual Commentary on the Greek NT for the UBS 3rd edition is pretty cool once you have a background knowledge, b/c you see him applying TC in passages.
