We like to read around here.

AND… I’m kind of a geek for reports. I gain a great deal of understanding about what makes this place tick when I look at things like search engine keyword reports that tell me how people get here.

One of the reports that I’ve looked at recently is my Amazon Affiliates reports. I don’t see who bought what, but I do see a list of the products purchased when visitors of this site click-thru to Amazon and then buy something during that session. And seeing this list of books (and music) tells me a great deal about what you all find interesting.

Here’s the list of what BibleDude.net readers have purchased in the last month…

    I finished ‘Not a Fan’ a couple of weeks ago.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  ‘Crazy Love’ by Francis Chan is one of my favorites.  I’m also a big Donald Miller fan – ‘Blue Like Jazz’, ‘Searching for God knows what’  Thanks for the list, I’m going to take it to the library with me this summer when I actually have more time to read.

    #bluelikejazz is one of my all-time favorites! but there’s some other really interesting stuff on this list that i should probably check out myself. and we’re considering some sort of project here on ‘not a fan’… so stay tuned… 

    sounds like we have some similar taste in reading lists… let me know if you check out something in particular on this list and give it a thumbs up or down. i’d love to know what you think of some of this stuff.

    I have read “Fatherless Generation” and loved it. I have passed copies onto family/friends that were like me, dad was physically there but wasn’t involved in our lives.  I love Donald Miller, “A Million Miles…” is my favorite.  And, my copy of “Night” by Elie Wiesel is well worn.

    @johnsowers work in #fatherlessgeneration is undoubtedly one of the most important works i’ve read recently, and the project we did on it (linked above) continues to resonate with people. 

    i also LOVE donald miller, and blue like jazz is one of my all-time favorites! i really need to check out a million miles…thanks for sharing!
