Instead of writing individual
reviews for all the books I have read, I am just going to condense them into
what I have read each month.
In January I set myself the target of reading 60 books which I said I would review within the first couple of
months with the view of raising the target depending on how I was getting on
with reading, as sometimes I can go through phases where I just can’t
concentrate on reading. However, in March I upped this target to 100 as between
January and March I had already read 40.
And in the month of April, I managed
to read another 20 bringing my total read books up to 60, so it is a good job I
upped my target for the year since I had already met my original target within
4 months!
So what have I read in April? Here
goes:

The
most popular genre this month seems to have been Christian Books with Tim
Chester being the main guy after having read five of his books. Tim Chester is
a great writer and gets into the heart of the subject he is writing about.
In the
summer I bought his book Ordinary Hero before I realised that I had actually
read it in 2012. I had no memory of reading which doesn’t say much for my
memory. However, I am glad I bought it again and re-read it as it is a great
book which points to the cross and resurrection of Jesus and shows how they
provide the pattern for discipleship today calling Christians to a radical new
way of living,
