In my 35 years of ministry I have amassed a nice library. As is obvious from this blog, I enjoy reading and normally read 40-50 books a year. Most of these I purchase. Unfortunately, it's time to begin selling off part of my library. Having left active pastoral ministry I simply don't need many of my books, and I would not want them to be a burden to my wife in the event the good Lord called me home.
A few days ago I listed two books by N. T. Wright on E-bay. They are The Day the Revolution Began and Simply Jesus. However, it would take me a long time to list all the books I would sell, so I decided to advertise them on this site.
I wish I could list the books individually, but that would take too much time. If you have been interested in purchasing a particular book, please let me know. I'll let you know if I have a copy of that book for sale.
I will tell you that I often mark in my books with a highlighter and sometimes write comments in the margins. Many of these books will not be in like new condition, but none of them are in bad condition either. If you express interest in a book I will tell you the condition of the book before you decide to buy it, and my prices will reflect that condition.
In addition to my theological and ministerial books I also have a nice collection of books on leadership and business. I also have books on personal finance, military, and self-help. I have both older and newer books so if you've been looking for one that is out of print, check with me. I just might have it!
I've been telling my wife for the past couple of years I needed to begin selling my library. The last time I told her that she asked why, if I wanted to sell my books, I got a box from amazon the day before? Well...I hadn't read those books! I really like my library so this is not an easy decision to make, but it's the right decision.
