One of the nice things about Christmas is the acquiring of new books. Half of the ten above I bought myself (Poem for every day, Xmas Quiz Book, Dickens and Christmas, an ebook on the Post Office scandal and the devotional based on Messiah by Dave Gobbett and his wife). The other five were gifts (Poem for every night, DK Xmas book, Alistair Begg's Xmas devotional, The redeemed man collection and the Book of 100 childre's books). I have read the DK Xmas book and the book introduing a hundred childrem's books. I didn't quite finish either of the two devotionals and the poetry books will hopefully finsihed by the end of the year. I started the Dickens book and am reading the one on the Post Office.
The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.
