I just wanted to share a list of the books that are being read (or re-read) in our home right now! One of the things I'm most thankful for about my husband is that he understands my need to read. A lot. We are both voracious readers, and are grateful that our girls also love curling up with great books!

I just finished reading, God is Red a book about Chinese Christians. I began The Excellent Wife, Watching the English, and I am in Mark.
ReplyDeleteGod is Red - I'll have to look it up. Thank you for the suggestion! Have you ever read The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun? It's one of my very favorite autobiographies and highlights much of the persecution of the church in China.
DeleteThank you for visiting :)

Ooo, I have to second your suggestion of The Heavenly Man. It's such an incredible story and really opened my eyes up to the situation there. Honestly, I never understood what the big deal was about the Christian churches & government sponsored churches until I read it.
DeleteGlad I found your blog through The Better Mom Link Up!
Two other outstanding autobiographies: God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew (about missions behind the Iron Curtain) and Bruchko by Bruce Olson (being a missionary in the Amazonian jungle). Those three radically broke my heart for the global church. :)
DeleteWell, I have found at least 5 books to add to my "To-Read List" here! Thanks for sharing your list. I love to see what Christian women are reading! God bless you, Lisha!

DeleteHave a beautiful start to your week!

Ender's Game is a great book! My husband is reading Tarzan of the Apes right now as a favor to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying it more than I thought I would, although I struggle with the idea that it's kids training for war. But the author writes really well, and I appreciate that. I've never read Tarzan...I'll have to see if the library has it. All I know about Tarzan is based on cartoons.
DeleteThank you for visiting, Helene!

I hear Martha Peace's The Excellent Wife is really good, too! I've still not got around to reading it, but it's been on my reading list awhile. :) I've been reading Practical Theology for Women by Wendy Aslup(VERY slowly lol) but it's been really good!
ReplyDeleteAfter my Bible, The Excellent Wife is my go-to for being a wife. It is biblically sound and so uplifting (and, at times, a kick in the pants!). I love reading theology books - I'll definitely be looking up Practical Theology for Women! Thank you so much, Jessica!

I love to hear about what people are reading! I posted some of the most personally life changing books for me on my blog in a September post. Feel free to stop by and check out my list :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! So do I - I will definitely check for your post! My "resources" tab up at the top of the page is my big (...but growing) list of books that have really helped me grow.
DeleteThank you for visiting! I look forward to reading your list!

I love seeing people's reading lists! I must admit I tend to get very distracted by other people's bookcases when I visit houses! It's so great to find out what books people enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge at the moment which is really thought-provoking.
Thanks for sharing at Essential Fridays.
Blessings

I get distracted by bookcases, too :D Is Becoming Myself a relatively new book? I read Captivating a few years ago but didn't know she had any other books out.
DeleteThanks for your faithfulness to encourage others through the Friday link-up!
