What I'm Reading this Summer...

Pretty soon I'm going to be posting a blog called 30 B4 30... simply a list of things I want to do before my 30th Birthday... anyway, one of the goals on my list is to read 5 books every season for the next year. Since I can easily get in the habit of reading non-fiction, I tried to include a fiction, a biography and a couple books Eric's been recommending over the last few months (which are usually non-fiction... apparently we have imagination issues). Here are the books that I'm planning to read over the summer...

bringing up GIRLS by Dr. James Dobson
Remember to Forget by Deborah Raney
I Became a Christian and All I Got was this Lousy T-Shirt by Vince Antonucci
Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson
Jesus by Charles Swindoll

Would love to know your book recommendations as I plan for the following seasons! :)

Redeeming Love

Just finished reading the incredible book, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I'm going to be thinking about the pages of this book for many days to come. For now, I'll leave you with these words from Rivers:

"Love the Lord your God, and love one another. Love one another as he loves. Love with strength and purpose and passion and no matter what comes against you. Don't weaken. Stand against the darkness, and love. That's the way back into Eden. That's the way back to life."
