Favorite Non-fiction Reads of 2010

A few weeks ago, I posted my favorite fiction reads of 2010. Today I'd like to share my favorite non-fiction reads of this past year. Since I only read 27, I'll post my top five. Here they are (in no particular order):

                        

                       

The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Bartlett

Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul David Tripp

Counterfeit Gods by Tim Keller

Why We Love the Church by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck

A Theology of Christian Counseling by Jay Adams

This year, I would like to read at least as many non-fiction books as fiction. As of today, I have read 3 fiction and 2 non-fiction. Since I take longer reading non-fiction, I have reduced my goal of number of books to read this year to 100. Since I read 137 books last year, this goal seems doable.

Do you like to read non-fiction books? What are some of your favorites? What do you tend to read more: fiction or non-fiction? Leave a comment.
