What ‘cha reading?

I love books … the real life – hold it in my hand – kind of books.  I love turning pages, folding corners, highlighting and starring.  I love the weight of a book and remembering where a quote is based on what side of the page it’s on.  I know a lot of you have moved to a Kindle and you say you love it.  I want to believe you but I can’t.  There’s just something about a book …

Some of you are big readers too.  You {who devour books like me} … what are you reading these days?  Here are some of the latest books on my self:

1.  Grace for the Good Girl by Emily Freeman
2..  Hole in the Gospel by Richard Stearns
3. Tune In: Hearing the Voice of God by Jen Hatmaker
4.  Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts
5. Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman
6.  Radical by David Platt
7. The 4:8 Principle by Tommy Newberry
8.  Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick

Actually the top two books are next on my list.  I would recommend all of these books, but so far my favorite is Leadership as an Identity, by Crawford Loritts.  It’s a great book for anyone in ANY kind of leadership position.  Ok.  Maybe it’s my favorite because it’s the one I just finished.  Really.  There are some great books out there. 

I’m also always reading one of these:

1.  Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
2.  My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
3. Sparkling Gems by Rick Renner
These are my go-to devotional books.  For those of you interested in knowing and understanding scripture better, I think you’d really like  the Sparkling Gems Greek word study devo. It’s not  an over-your-head read – which is good for all you non-theologians out there like me!
OK.  Enough about me. I want to hear from you. I’m currently working on putting a list of books together for our women’s ministry Summer Book Club and I would love to hear any recommendations that you have.  So … what ‘cha reading????
Anyone?  Anyone?

    I am reading a book called "Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A boy, cancer and God" by Michael Kelley. I also am reading Grace for the Good Girl and Spreading Joy Daily by Marie Wikle. I have lots more on the table next to my bed and all over the house! Thanks for sharing!

    I know I've mentioned this, but I'm STILL reading One Thousand Gifts, and not because I'm slow (ok, partly that), but mostly because I'm chewing on it. Sort of unheard of for me. I've also read Radical recently which was good. James also got Matt Chandler's Explicit Gospel for his birthday, so we'll be reading that, too.

    I am reading Sally Clarkson's Ministry of Motherhood. Its a wonderful reminder of how important our ministry as a monther is. I highly recommend it to any mother at any season in her mothering.
