So many books, so little time

We have been reading lots of books this winter. As a matter of fact one of us is reading three at a time right now. The book above by Carrie Bender is bedtime reading. It is very easy reading and part of a series. It's a fictional tale of the life of an Amish woman written in diary form.



Now this book is for fun. It's one that we have had setting on our bookshelf for awhile. We like to purchase books at thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets and such. Sometimes we don't have time to read them right away. This one has some pretty funny things in it. It is very important to laugh...very healthful too!


This one is very challenging as well as instructional. Joseph M. Stowell, past president of Moody Bible Institute, is a very prolific author. This particular book of his was really written for pastors. It is great for other leaders and even us lay people also. Because it is geared to pastors, the language can be daunting at times but if you work at it this book can really speak to all of us.

Some books we get from the library. And some books we receive as gifts. Other books we buy new and some we purchase used. However they come our way, we truly enjoy and are blessed by them.
