Books I Am Reading...

Re-reading this after visiting PEI this summer. It's good, as all Anne books are, but I feel that LM Montgomery changed Anne's character a bit, starting in this book, which disappoints me because it's not the Anne I 'know'.

I am always surprised when I read a popular book, and I like it. And, I have been pleasantly surprised by this book by Tim Keller. I find it very thought-provoking, and it answers a lot of 'questions/skepticisms' I have either heard or thought myself. I recommend it to other Christians, as well as those simply interested in a well-written, well-thought-out book about Christianity and it's truth.

This is the 2nd time I've picked up this book. Normally, I love Fannie Flagg books. Love love love them. But, this one just isn't doing it for me. I don't know why. I have a sneaking suspicion it is the font. Seriously. I am one of those people that likes the feel and the look of a book, and that plays a part in how much I enjoy reading it.. I'm trudging through it, but if I get the chance, I pick up another book first.

I am working on reading through the Bible, bouncing back and forth between Old and New Testaments (eg. Genesis, Matthew, Exodus, Mark, etc). I have made it to John, which as you can guess, means I made it through Numbers!!!! Whew. I'm just kidding though, as it is all inspired by God, but some of those "begats" just overwhelm me. Originally I was planning on finishing the whole Bible this summer, but it appears it will take longer than that. I should be able to finish the Bible in less than a year, though, at this rate, so we'll see how it goes.  It has been amazing being in God's Word more than just a chapter or two a day. I am amazed and how my relationship with God grew exponentially, and my prayer life now has a fullness to it that it has lacked for a long time. God has blessed me this summer by allowing me to spend time with Him each day, and for that I'm grateful!
