I've been using amazon.com for several years now for most of my book purchases. My family realy likes that I have a wish list on amazon, because at Christmas they go to amazon.com and order a couple books off my list. I still hold the title for easiest person to shop for, because of amazon.
The team is reading through several books over this year. So far we have read: Radical Reformission by Mark Driscoll, Humility and Living the Corss Centered Life by C.J. Mahaney. Before Christmas there were a few book on my list that I needed for this reading the team is doing. I also had books on the list recommended to me by John Pope, Nick Swan (pastor at Crossway Community Church), and Grandpa Graham for me to read to have a better understanding of interpreting the Bible. I began praying for God to make a way in my budget for me to get all the books, but with over 20 on the list that totaled close to $400 I did not see how that would hapen.
For Christmas family members bought books and gave me gift certificates that allowed me to get half of the books I really wanted. Then after Christmas a friend of mine offered to buy the rest of the books. To me the amazing part is I only prayed that God would find a way for me to purchase these books. I never asked anyone to help me.
Thankyou for your prayers. I now have all the books that I really wanted to get in order to prepare for the church plant. Sure there's other books on my list but what reader doesn't have a long list of books they would like.
