Another gift of this discipline has been that I am essentially limited to three options when I want to read:

(1) books I already own
(2) books I can borrow from the library (thank you inter-library loan!)
(3) books I bum off of friends for inordinate amounts of time.

This project has renewed my interest in reading Luther’s Works (the English edition). I received a whole set from a former pastor of mine (now deceased). It is always refreshing to read what Luther actually wrote, rather than what others say he wrote.

For those who are curious, I’m reading volume 35 (Word and Sacrament I).
