All My Books in a Row…
In an effort to make things organized…let me introduce you to a new section on my blog. You can find it here: Hover over that “Books” section and you will see a dropdown menu…one of which is “Bookshelf.” From now on, I will attempt to put every book I review in the “bookshelf” page. That…

When Sinners Say “I Do” – Book Review
Gospel-centered. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the book, When Sinners Say “I Do.” Written by Dave Harvey, I first heard of this book about a year ago when my aunt recommended it. Since then, I had seen it several times while browsing books online, but there are…

Meditating on the Gospel
Today is Good Friday. While for some, that may just be a meaningless event pre-written on the calendar, it is much more to me. This weekend defines the existence of my entire life. For it is on Good Friday that I remember the truth of my total depravity: “And you were dead in the trespasses and…

Organized Simplicity
A few weeks ago, I finished reading Organized Simplicity. I first “met” the author (Tsh Oxenreider) by reading her blog, Simple Mom. She writes about “life hacks for home managers.” Every post I’ve read has been extremely helpful and practical. Her book, Organized Simplicity, is no different. My iPod was pleased to receive this book…

Loving the Little Years
The other day, I watched my 2 year old show off her pink toenails to her little brother. He was as thrilled as you can expect a 3 month old boy to be. I was just trying to make sure her foot didn’t kick him in the face. Being a mom of little ones comes…

The Bible – Book 12
The final book I completed in 2011 was the Bible. The Bible is such a large book that contains so many stories – stories of new life, death, tragic decisions, beautiful surprising endings, intriguing plots, romantic heroes, despicable kings – and above all, the greatest love story of all time. This book tells about…

Revolutionary Parenting – Book 11
Continuing with my reviews of books I read in 2011… one of the last books I read was Revolutionary Parenting by George Barna. I bought this book in July but wasn’t able to read much of it until the fall. I read most of this book during the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy. It…

Til We Have Faces – Book 10
One of the books I read in 2011 was Til We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis. Actually, to be completely correct, I listened to this book. I was about to go on a 4 hour drive with my little girl and wanted something to listen to while she slept. I checked around for a great…

How I Know God Answers Prayer – Book 9
I recently finished reading Rosalind Goforth’s book, How I Know God Answers Prayer. This book is a personal testimony written by Rosalind Goforth of how the Lord answered her prayers during her family’s time of mission work in China. She details specific accounts of their escape during the Boxer rebellion as well as daily answers…

Creative Counterpart – Book 8
Okay, I realize I am way behind in my “read 1 book/month” goal for 2011. But the year is not over yet. I still have great plans to read 12 books this year. I may just have to read 2 books/month during these last 2 months. 🙂 All of that aside, I recently finished a…

Protecting Your Child Through Prayer – Book 6
Well, folks, I was happily going along my merry little blogging way, and realized I forgot to do a book review post last month. Aaannd the month before that. Yeah. Blame it on the pregnancy. I can blame everything on that, right? Yes – but I already talked about that. 😉 Anyway, I have been…
