Books

My goal is to read one book a month.   I love to read but yet have done very little of it in the last few years.  Mark Batterson quoted a statistic that said college graduates -after graduation -read an average of 2 books a year.  I have been at or below that for way too long.  I’m out to exceed the average!

What books have you read?  I’m always looking for good books to read.

Books read:

Primal – by Mark Batterson.  I was asked to do a review on this book.  You can read it by clicking Primal – not just another book (December 2009)

Principles of Perseverance by Wes Daughenbaugh (January 2010)  click here to check out the book review

When Women Long for Rest by Cindi McMenamin (February 2010) This is my second time through this book.  I don’t read many books twice.  It is a keeper.

And Then There Were Two by Cliff Schimmels (February 2010)  Written as an easy book to read.  He does address many of the issues the empty nesters face.

Take God at His Word – Experience the Power of Giving by Dr. Kregg Hood (March 2010)  click here to go to my blog about this book

Act Two – a Novel in Perfect Pitch by Kimberly Stuart (March 2010) For ficton, it was good.

Forever Changed by Norman Wenig (April 2010)  Great book  – full of true life stories of God’s healing power

At the Feet of Jesus by Brian Shipman (July 2010)

The Shoe Box by Patsy Clairmont (July 2010) – what a perfect book for a shoe lover! Go Patsy

Resting in Him -I need to slow down, but I can’t by Margaret Feinberg (September 2010)  Great book with discussion questions after each chapter.

Postcards from Menopause by Lois Mowday Rabey (March 2010) This time of life is a process.  It is not a permanent destination.  Time will pass, moments of calmness will increase, and the feelings of fragmentation will disappear.”

Heaven is for real by Todd Burpo  June 2011 What a great read!  Very inspiring and uplifting.   The book has raised a lot of negative press outside Christian circles, but what is it they are really afraid of?    The book just made me want to see my Jesus all the more!  And if my daddy is running around in a younger body up there — woo hoo!!!!!
