One Book....Steve

Steve has been tagged by The Cox Girls, so after some delay, here is his response to the one book meme.

1. One book that changed your life:
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans

2. One book that you've read more than once:
The Disposal Truck, by Anna Ratzesberger, Illustrated by Walter and Marie Popp. Cris and I read this to Jeff about 17,000 times from the time he would sit still on a lap until he learned to read by himself.

3. One book I'd want on a desert island:
The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan

4. One book that made me laugh:
Homes and Other Black Holes, by Dave Barry - actually, anything by Dave Barry

5. One book that made me cry:
Alex: The Life of a Child, by Frank Deford - story of Deford's daughter, who died in 1980 at age 8, and her struggle with cystic fibrosis.

6. One book you wish you had written:
Write a book? It's all I can do to write a sermon(or two) every week.

7. One book you wish had never been written:
The Disposal Truck, by Anna Ratzesberger, Illustrated by Walter and Marie Popp. Cris and I read this to Jeff about 17,000 times from the time he would sit still on a lap until he learned to read by himself.

8. One book you are currently reading:
God is the Gospel, by John Piper

9. One book you've been meaning to read:
Future Grace, by John Piper. I'm somewhat embarrassed that I've had this for a couple of years and still haven't read it.

Now I tag Tim Cox, Mark Clay, and Chad Stoker (this is a ploy to get the Stokers to update their blog).
