Mark – I’ve never read The Art of War. Not even more than a few paragraphs. Therefore I think my point was not valid. I’ll look for it in the bookstore sometime and read a chapter.

Chris –

Not to get in to a big theological debate, but why do you think it odd (or funny) to read The Art of War and the Bible?

The Art of War is a great strategy book. Its principles can apply just as much to business today as it did to war back then.

I haven’t read it, but I have the audio tape and listen to it frequently.

Levi – Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out.

Ben – Yup! I’m a Christian! Reformed as of a few years ago. I’m not sure I’m qualified to be a hero – but hey, that’s cool! Nice to meet you.

Chris – I think it’s really funny how you’re reading The Art of War AND the Bible. That’s a great combination. I’ve never read The Art of War… is it any good?

“First Thing’s First – Every Day”
“Swanson’s 25 unWritten Rules of Business”
“The Art of War”
“How to Start a Conversation and Make Friends”
“The ABCs of Building a Business Team That Wins”
“The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”
The Bible

I’m young… Most of these are the basics, I know, but if I can make it through this list in 2006, I’ll be happy (and enlightened).

didn’t know you were a believer (an assumption based on the books you’re reading/listening to). You’re even more my hero now.

For a good easy-to-read book on Christian reformed theology, I'd reccomend: Practical Religion by J.C. Ryle. I've been reading that during my devotions lately and I'm really amazed by it.
