Books

Books are wonderful tools to get you to think. Now, not all books are good books...but that's a different conversation for another time.

I like reading. But I often got bored reading my favorite novels over and over, and I like reading good books, real books, not just "twaddle" as my mother likes to call it.

Recently, a friend from work has been telling me I should read "Radical, taking back your faith from the American Dream" by David Platt. I am only on chapter four, but already I have had a great deal to think about. It is a very good, and challenging book. It has made me stop and think about some things I have never even thought to think about!!

I have also been reading "Joyfully at home" by Jasmine Baucham, also a very good book. Once again I am not very far along in the book, but I used to read Jasmine's blog, so I am familiar with the message of the book.

Also! I have, slowly-but-surely, been reading "Gaining favors with God and man" by Thayer. Also a very good book.

As I finish these books I'll probably post something about them, so if you are interested you could read them and share your thoughts! Because I love hearing what people have got to say:-)

I'm planning to read the Radical book, too. Everyone keeps telling me that God is doing "Radical" things in mine and my husband's lives and that I HAVE to read it! So I guess I will!!
Blessings,
