What are you reading?
How many books do you usually have going at one time?
Have you read any of these?
Got any you think I’d love?

February 21, 2011 at 7:45 pmI’ve heard great things about 1000 gifts. Haven’t read it yet, but it’s next in line, I think.

February 20, 2011 at 6:45 pmHeidi-yes, it is amazing to realize how the OT and NT fit together. So cool.
So glad you are taking care of yourself and doing your exams!
Nancy-isn’t it just the best book?? Yes, I am counting gifts. I try to keep a notebook handy all throughout the week, then on Mondays I post my list here at the blog.

February 20, 2011 at 4:04 pmI too have been reading 1000 Gifts and following along the 1000 Gifts book club over at (in)courage. Are you keeping a list of your 1000 gifts and adding to it each day? That has been such a blessing for me to do.
Have a blessed Sunday,
Nancy

February 20, 2011 at 2:08 amI love the One Year Bible. I could never decide what to use for a devotional and it works perfectly. (It’s the Bible, duh, how could it not be right?!!) In 2007 I read the whole thing and for the first time realized how well the old and new testaments jive together sometimes. In 2008 I read through the old testament, 2009 the new, 2010 the Psalms and Proverbs. In 2011 I’m back to doing the whole thing again. I’m so happy I stumbled upon it five years ago.
P.S. Thanks for sharing your cancer journey. I am your age and cancer-free but you’ve inspired me to actually monthly self-exams!

February 19, 2011 at 6:14 pmI am reading, “First We Have Coffee by Margaret Jensen, “Shepherding a Child’s Heart” by Tedd Tripp, and “Your Scars are Beautiful to God” by Sharon Jaynes. They’re all very different and help me in lots of areas. I used to be a big marriage book reader; but after awhile they all seem the same so I ventured out. Thanks for sharing what you read. I love reading.

February 19, 2011 at 6:06 pmlet me know if you like that Stronger book- cracks me up that you are reading a book about a metal artist lol Looks really good though! I might have to check it out.

February 19, 2011 at 10:51 pmLaurie–:) you know me and metal…ha! it is good, he is so real and has quite the story.
Heather-hi! thanks for sharing. “Your Scars are Beautiful to God” sounds really good…

February 19, 2011 at 5:12 pmhi ann!
i think my husband would appreciate one book at a time…the headboard of my bed is usually overflowing with books that I am reading;)
that book sounds great–i just got done with a “painful to read at times” book called “Why I Jumped” i tend to gain strength when i read and see others in desperate situations, survive. thanks for sharing!
ann @ my life as prose.
February 19, 2011 at 5:01 pmi love reading 🙂 but i usually can only do 1 book at a time… plus my bible.
this morning i finished a book that i would highly reccommend, but not to you… at least not for right now. it’s called “even silence has an end,” and it was written by a woman who was kidnapped by the FARC (a communist revolutionary guerilla group in columbia) for 6 years. such an incredible story of survival… but at times painful to read.
a good one to remember for when you get beyond all of this craziness.
thanks for sharing your reading list 🙂
