This month I challenged myself to read at least one book on grace, but as I expected, I didn’t read just one book. Because I love hearing what other people are reading, I thought it would be fun to share what I read this month.
Here’s the list I read in January:

January 30, 2015 at 5:29 pmI read Crystal Paine’s Say Goodbye To Survival Mode – it was pretty good. I admit that while some stuff was really good, I skimmed through much of it as I know a lot of it was personal stories I didn’t need. I like to read MEAT. 😀
I am also helping my husband in his job search by reading How Google Works to him. REALLY interesting! 😀
I added the Virtual Freedom to my wishlist! I appreciate the suggestion! 😀 I LOVE posts like this! I am always finding good stuff to read. Now just to get through this season of moving/packing/cleaning so I can read even MORE! 😀

January 31, 2015 at 7:05 pmI enjoy seeing what others are reading as well.
I finished Dr. Dolittle and am in the middle of Five Little Peppers and How They Grew (reading to my kids…I’m totally counting those 😉 ).
Personally, I’m working on The Gospel Primer (Milton Vincent), Own Your Life (Sally Clarkson), and am somewhere in the series of Anne of Green Gables.
I don’t finish books as quickly as I used to for a variety of reasons, but I’m looking forward to the return of warm weather and being able to read outside while my kids play!

February 6, 2015 at 8:18 pmA few notable ones of those I read last month:
“The Good Daughter: A Memoir of My Mother’s Hidden Life” (Jasmin Darznik) was really interesting… gave me such a different look into how girls and women grew up in Iran.
“Rare Bird: A Memoir of Loss and Love” (Anna Whiston-Donaldson) had me in tears almost the whole thing through. I didn’t agree 100% with her theology and I was a bit taken aback by her language in a few places, but reading the heart-words of a mother dealing with the loss of a child was definitely impactful.
“Seeing What Is Sacred: Becoming More Spiritually Sensitive to the Everyday Moments of Life” (Ken Gire) was really good – I copied quite a few quotes into my commonplace book from that one.
“The Story of Charlotte’s Web: E.B. White’s Eccentric Life in Nature and the Birth of an American Classic” (Michael Sims) was a neat biography and explained a lot about where E.B. got his inspiration.
“In the Field of Grace” (Tessa Afshar) was beautiful. A fictionalized account of the story of Ruth – definitely gave a new perspective about how it might have happened, and it made me fall in love with the Ruth story all over again.
“A Good and Perfect Gift: Faith, Expectations, and a Little Girl Named Penny” (Amy Julia Becker) was another lovely book – very real and raw and amazing, seeing the struggle and the immense joys of parenting a special needs child.
It was a good book month!

February 7, 2015 at 2:28 pmI had no idea Moms Night Out was a book! That’s awesome; I’ll have to look for a copy. I read Jesus Feminist last summer, and found it very convicting.
