Total number of books I've owned?
Wow, that's a tough one. I've always been a big reader and buying books is one of my weaknesses. I don't think I've ever left the Half Price Bookstore without making a purchase. I just packed 4 boxes of books (and I'm not done yet) plus I have some books in storage somewhere, so I would say a lot.

The last book I bought?
I think the last book I bought was "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller.

The last book I read?
I am currently reading "Power Evangelism" by John Wimber and just finished reading "The Quest for the Radical Middle" by Bill Johnson.

Five books that mean a lot to me?
This is also a tough one. It will be hard to narrow it down to just five, but I'll try.
1. The Pursuit of God - A.W. Tozer
2. A Chance to Die - Elisabeth Elliot
3. The City of Joy - Dominique Lapierre
4. Ruthless Trust - Brennan Manning
5. Bridal Intercession - Gary Weins

Others worth mentioning:
A Street in Marrakech - Elizabeth Warnock Fernea
The Way of the Heart - Henri Nouwen
The Sacred Romance and The Journey of Desire - John Eldridge
God's Smuggler - Brother Andrew
Broken Bangles - Hanifa Deen
