Looks like a great list of books, thanks for compiling it! I love “Boys Should Be Boys”, such a wealth of wisdom and practical tips. Looking forward to checking out more of your blog!
This is so helpful, thanks so much! Just found your blog and LOVE IT!
Hi Christina!
yes, you’re right- we do have VERY similar tastes in books… I love this whole page!! Many books on here that I have read and loved and many that I want to read
I was thinking I’d love to do a “Because He Loves Me” book study… so that went well? Respectable Sins is another one that I would love to read someday!
Blessings to you!
you are so blessed that you’ll be seeing Elyse Fitzpatrick in June!!!! I am assuming you’re referring to the Gospel Coalition for Women? Our current financial situation leaves no room for such things, but I am thankful that usually the messages and such are available online- just gotta be patient for them
ENJOY!!!!!
Yes and I’m really looking forward to it:)
Hey girl:
Still reading your blog every chance I get. I love the updates and especially the pictures. The boys are getting so big. Loved the story about George becoming Captian and Judy pinning him. Sure brings back memories of our late George. I am reading a book called “Heaven is Real” about a 4 year old boy that claims he visited Heaven while having surgery. GREAT BOOK. Please read it if you haven’t already. Please give my love to George and everyone.
Love
Aunt Peg
Wow! What a wonderful list of recommendations! I absolutely love reading and am excited to check some of these out that I haven’t heard of before. Thanks for sharing your list!
Stopping by from the Gospel Coalition post…loved it.
I always check out a person’s book list because it’s such a window for me into the heart of the writer…
Your list is wonderful and we share many of the same favorites.
So nice to stop by and *meet* you…
