Unfortunately my nightstand is a little messy; it is full of books and papers I need to read or in the process of reading. Let’s see what is there:
The Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin
The Holiness of God by R. C. Sproul
Living for God’s Glory by Joel Beeke
ESV Thin line Bible
At least twelve (12) multi-page studies on John 3:16 (for when I get to John 3 next month)
Bottle of Tums
Printed pages of yesterday’s post from Expository Thoughts entitled, "Preaching NT Narrative: Don't Flatten Out the Gospels!
Fudge Bar wrapper and empty stick (Yes, I will throw it away before the wife gets home)
Half-full plastic bottle of water
I guess that is it.
So, your turn, what is on your nightstand, coffee table, or end table?

Enjoyed finding out what was on your nightstand.
My nightstand holds only a lonely alarm clock (because I cannot read in bed). Yet my in progress book shelf currently has on it:
Stott's The Cross of Christ
Amy Carmichael's Mountain Breezes
Edwards' Religious Affections
Rick Joyner's The Vision
And a new 17:18 series Proverbs book(in which one is to write their own copy of Proverbs - a rather enjoyable endeavor).
An interesting side note: though my nightstand holds only the clock, my 40 cal. hangs out nearby (because I'm a police officer).
Okay, let's see what I've got here.
_Reformed Witness (January edition)
_Tabletalk (Ligonier's)
_Christ Precious to Those That Believe (John Fawcett)
_The Letters of Samuel Rutherford
_Heidelberg Catechism-Belgic Confession-Canons of Dort-w/ Apostles, Athanasian, Nicene & Chalcedonian creeds.
_The Christian Book of Mystical Verse (Tozer compiled)
_Reformation &Revival (Summer 1993) Theme: Evangelism
_A couple of print outs on witnessing from Ray Comfort's ministry.

Gregg, ahhhhh, "The Holiness of God". One of my faves! When I read it, I blogged my responses to the review questions at the end of the chapters (long since deleted now.)
My currently reading stack includes: "66 Love Letters" by Dr. Larry Crabb, and "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee.
My wife recently did a sweep of my nightstand-equivalent area so it's kind of organized now. And I usually don't read there since my wife goes to bed before I do and I don't want to bother her with my reading light.
But here's what's there now:
My clock/radio/phone/alarm with the phone no longer connected.
"Get Known Before the Book Deal" by Christina Katz
"The Revised English Bible" from Oxford University Press -- to check out another translation to see what it's like.
box of Kleenex
My night stand is pretty bare, just a CD alarm clock because I hate waking up to a buzzer or someone yelling on a radio station.
However, my computer desk is a mess of stuff. I've got Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology that I need to finish. A couple of John MacArthur books, including "The Gospel According to Jesus" and his 40 year anniversary book of his best sermons (I haven't read that one yet, either.)
An assortment of Bibles and commentaries, a couple of witnessing videos from Ray Comfort, and a couple of drumming videos, as I've been attempting to learn to play the drums a little bit.
My wife says I need to clean some of this stuff off of there....
Alarm clock
Dock for my I-shuffle
Spiritual Depression - Martyn Lloyd-Jones
KJV Bible (My ESV, which I normally read, is on the kitchen table.)
Box of Puffs
On my nightstand, my Bible, several ceramic figurines presented to me by my 5 and 7 year old for Christmas, a little red mailbox. You will find a mailbox just like it in each of our childrens rooms since we have our own little in house mail system.
On our end table, two more Bibles, Eight Kingdoms book, concordance, several notebooks and an African Violet plant.
The French Revolution by Thomas Carlyle.
I want to see how the first atheist regime in history unfolded. Not so much as a history lesson but as a roadmap for things to come.
Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper (second time through)
Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem
Lenten Reflections from CS Lewis (compiled from various works)
And just finished Counterfeit Gods by Tim Keller
