| How come it takes 31 days to get it clean and like 3.5 seconds to reduce it to chaos? (this book seems really good, but I found out you actually have to be home for 31 days to make it work...may try again sometime) |

| Read a few chapters...more anxious than ever...probably need to start over. |

| Swenson really has his finger on the pulse of the typical American... but I was so busy (hmmm) when I read it that I hardly remember what it said. Need to start over. |

| This book was a gift from one of my kindergarten students who graduated from the Learning to Read program in May. It is a wake up call for those of us who claim to be Christian yet find ourselves so wrapped up in the comforts of home, family, and the American dream that we fail to live out our faith in practical, New Testament terms. It's the only book I read cover to cover...and I find myself convicted. |
Instead, we filled our summer with other things, and the only substantial reading I completed was in my Bible. I'm good with that, considering God's Word is the most important Book, but I sometimes I crave words of wisdom and encouragement from someone who is living the same crazy, hectic, hormonal life I'm living. Someone who can help me organize my closet, understand my pre-teen, and be the amazing wife my husband deserves.
So, I'm heading into fall with some pretty decent intentions. Our Women of Worth group is doing Elizabeth George's A Woman After God's Own Heart Bible study, and I'm thrilled to go through that one again. What a great book. My online study group is tackling I John (I'm having a hard time keeping up, but I'm not giving up!), and I think I will add Cheri Fuller's Raising Motivated Kids to my fall lineup.
Is there a favorite read you've picked up lately? I'd love to hear about it!
I really enjoyed "Radical" by David Platt. It was very convicting and an overall good read. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't read Radical, but I found the series of sermons online and listened to them. Very good and something worth listening to. Love to read also, but I too have my share of unfinished books. Some are worth reading again and again. The Bible is unparalleled in content and truth. Thank God for those who expound and write upon its eternal truth. HIS eternal truth.
ReplyDeleteMost of my reading lately has been research and study for some projects I've been working on. I did finish the life of St. Francis of Assisi though. Interesting, but not what I expected. Also was able to finish reading through the Bible again. Lately, I have been rereading the epistles.
