Book Update

A book update...this is long overdue and I will probably miss some books I have been reading. Joshua has really encouraged me and inspired me to read more. We watch way less movies and tv and instead in the evenings we read quite a bit.

1. Power of a Praying Wife
2. Desperate by Sally Clarkson and Sarah Mae
3. My Life, My heart, My all MacDonald
4. Middlemarch by Eliot
5. Dombey and Son by Dickens
6. Agnes Grey by Bronte
7. Buggies and Blizzards
8. Ultimate Proof by Jason Lisle
9. Not a Fan
10. Out of the Salt Shaker
11. Tortured for Christ (Voice of the Martyrs)
12. You can Teach your Child Successfully

More books I have read this year...I read this book called "A Good Yarn" and was a great story about women's lives intertwining thru learning to knit. Hope to read another in the series soon.

Killer Bears was a book that I got at Aletheia Springs this year and was quite intrigued by. It is all about bear attacks and if there is any common ground in the attacks, etc. Gave me a whole new respect for the black bears up here on our mountain. Always be respectful of bears, they cannot be predicted at all--black or grizzly, momma or papa...so just give them their distance and don't be stupid and go hiking in their territory alone and unarmed!

Love Walked Among Us was a book I read for one of my counseling classes and it was good. It didn't stand out to me as a particularly wonderful book and I don't think I would be rereading it but it had some good insights into the Lord's life on earth and His love for us.







Can you believe I have never read Tortured for Christ? I was so glad to read this book and be better acquainted with the ministry of Voice of the Martyrs. Gave me quite an appreciation for the freedom we do have to witness and be bold for Christ and a renewed passion for praying for Christians around the world as well as helping them in any way I can.

 I read this book "The Holiness of God" for my counseling class and it sure gave me an overwhelming impression at how irreverent we are towards God. We as humans judge and act toward our holy God as no being should be allowed to do. Our God is so merciful and longsuffering towards his creation.

"I Married You" is a reread, Walter writes a book on his experience teaching a marriage conference in Africa and the problems they have with getting married, marriages, etc. So good and talks about why you need the leaving, cleaving and one flesh in the right order and you need all three!
