Birthday Goals!

I made a goal to read one Bible-centered non-fiction book a month this year. I'm starting with Misquoting Jesus by Bart Ehrman. Actually, here's the list of a few I want to get through this year. And I'm only doing one a month so I can read it thoroughly and mark up my scriptures accordingly. I'm really struggling with a method to record/organize all the things I'll be learning. It's hard for a perfectionist like me to get going sometimes. It's rather irritating. :)

• Misquoting Jesus, Bart D. Ehrman
• Women of the Old Testament, Camille Fronk Olson
• The Hidden Christ, James L. Farrell
• Adam Eve and the Serpent, Elaine Pagels
• Jesus Christ and the World of the New Testament, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel

Those are the ones I'll be reading for sure, and there are many others to choose between. I just want so badly to understand the culture and world of the Bible. I think I'm going to restrict my fiction to biblical fiction as well. Thank goodness for libraries! :)
