MY PASSION


I have always loved books. Behind me are books that I have collected in my short stay (Almost 2 1/2 years as of this writing) in Cebu City. These include books given to me by friends, books I bought second-hand from thrift stores, books I bought that were on sale, and books that I have downloaded from the internet.

What I am holding is a Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible (NIV) that I bought at a discounted rate in Manila. It is my main "sword" and the one I lug around wherever I go.

Some of my favorite books in my shelf are Christian Theology by Millard Erickson, Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem, my KJV Life Application Study Bible, which my mom gave, my NIV Study Bible, which I bought for less than $5, a IVP New Bible Dictionary, an Unger's Bible Dictionary, which I bought from M/V Doulos, A Ready Defense and Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh MacDowell, the controversial The Gospel According To Jesus by John MacArthur, and various other books and references. I have only begun to restart my collection after having come from a long spiritual backslide (1994-2004) and I praise God for the many books that have come my way. I commit my knowledge and myself solely to God's service and glory!
