I borrowed Reluctant Entertainer and Organized Simplicity from the local library. I own Calm My Anxious Heart if you need to borrow it.

If you like Christian fiction, I'm currently reading Songbird Under a German Moon by Tricia Goyer and One Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury. Of course, I always recommend the Jamie/Leana/Rose series by Liz Curtis Higgs (starts with A Thorn in My Heart). Those are my all time faves. :)
ReplyDeleteI just read Tricia Goyer's book and I love most of Kingsbury! I will definitely look into Liz Curtis Higgs books! THANKS
DeleteThe Grace Parenting books are on my list, too. I read Calm My Anxious Heart last summer with some friends. I'm reading Keep a Quiet Heart by E. Elliot right now. Still working on my list for the year. You should consider adding Practical Theology for Women by Wendy Alsup if you haven't read it yet. Read it twice in 2011!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Grace-Based Parenting, Organized Simplicity, and Calm My Anxious Heart are on my to-be-read list, as well. Great list!
ReplyDeleteJulie....Calm my anxious heart was just $5 on CBD the other day!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso... All of those look amazing. I wanna do a list now :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting via One Word 365 community. "Grace" really is present in your book list. I started reading 1000 gifts over the summer with a friend and have picked it back up recently to finish. What I've gotten through is fantastic, and goes along with your 2012 word as well. I may have to make a note about a couple of your other books for my own "to read" list. Many blessings on all your goals for the year!!
