I am reading Joyce Meyer: Knowing God intimately. So nice to have such books out there that can encourage us in improving our lives in Christ.

For the last week or so I've been reading "The Ascent of Mount Carmel" by St. John of the Cross. It's not so much inspirational as spiritual. You can read it for free online too.
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/john_cross/ascent.html
From the CCEL page:
One of St. John of the Cross' most important and insightful works, Ascent of Mount Carmel is a brilliant work of Christian mysticism. Considered one of the great Spanish poets, St. John depicts the soul's ascent to Mount Carmel--allegorically, the place of God--and the "dark night" that the soul must endure to reach it. St. John describes the different mystic experiences the soul encounters on its way to union with God through the dark night. Although St. John continues to describe the dark night in Dark Night of the Soul, the sequel to Ascent of Mount Carmel, this book provides a hauntingly beautiful, profound, and mystical account of Christian spirituality. It is highly recommended.

I am reading daily: Seize the Day (with Dietrich Bonhoeffer): A 365 Day Devotional and Life Together and Prayerbook of the Bible: DBW 5. On the bus, I am reading My Father, Maker of the Trees: How I Survived the Rwandan Genocide. At night I am reading from Discipleship: DBW 4 (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works) in small bites.

I just started Captured by Grace by David Jeremiah last night and I'm loving it. It's grabbed me right away. I'm looking forward to continuing.
I watched part of a movie called "Luther" that was very fascinating as well - about Martin Luther and the reformation.
