I really like to read. I wish I had MORE time to do it…but I try to always be reading something. Besides my Bible, here’s some of the books I’m currently reading (I usually read more than one at a time, too. J) :

 Kids and the Kingdom: How They Come to God by John Inchley

  2. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick M. Lencioni
  3. A Love So Big: Anchoring Your Child to the Heart of God by Shiela Walsh

  15. The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis (All 7of them - I love them so much!)
  16. The Exodus Principle by Gary McIntosh

 ***I am, by no means, endorsing all of these books. Some of them were thought-provoking, but not necessarily life-changing. Some were interesting, but not exactly what I believed. And some are just plain great! It’s up to you to read them for yourself and decide what you think. Let me know if you do, and tell me what your response was. Happy Reading!

    I just finished “Anonymous” by Alicia Chloe which is one of my favorites for this year. I recommend it.


  2. I really liked John Ortberg’s book..#3 on your list.

    It’s been moved from #3. :o ) It’s down in my other list now…but it’s one of my highly recommended books. All of you should read it.

    I read “Anonymous also a couple of years ago – it is one of the most amazing books I’ve ever read! Also, John Ortberg’s book, “The Life you’ve Always Wanted” and “Everybody’s Normal till You get to know Them” is really good. So many good books – Joanne Weaver is a great author too. It is hard as a Mom to read but how refreshing it is when there is time!

    I just finished another great read “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Relin. Go get your new library card and check it out. A fascinating book on the difference one person can make.
