I would love to tell you that I'm a big reader and enjoy reading in my spare time or just for fun. Unfortunately, I would be lying. So the truth is I only read when I have to, like for my woman's bible study group, when I'm reading to my family or when I want to learn something or teach Jaime a thing or two ;). Ironically Briana enjoys reading and will even read the same book more than once. I think that came from reading to her every night since she was a baby and now we read books as a family for a story time. She loves that since she has big imagination and books exercise that muscle, I guess. Anyways, here are the 3 books I picked up:
1.) Duty or Delight?: Knowing where you stand with God, by Tammie Head
This is the book we're going to go through for our 6 week ladies bible study. To be honest the book alone isn't what i'm excited about. It's the combination or women getting together and the holy spirit doing it's work within us.Good stuff. :)
2.) Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back, by Todd Burpo
Now this book, I picked up by impulse (i rarely do that). I don't know anything about it but it was on sale and by just reading the title, sounds like a good family time read. So far we're halfway through the book and it was hard for us to find a good stopping point. This book is Briana approved.
3.) What Happened to My Little Girl?: Dad's Ultimate Guide to His Tween Daughter, by Nancy Rue and Jim Rue
I didn't go into the book store with any research but this was just what I was looking for
Jaime to read me to read to Jaime. He is very willing to listen, just isn't a reader. I'm sure every women with a 10-12 year old thinks her husband can be a better father. I mean we all have room to grow. Especially since the father shapes our little girls into the women they will become. Kinda important. We're only a couple of pages in, but so far I love the male narrator. Jaime can relate to his point of view since he is rough around the edges like him.
So like I said, I'm not a book worm but hopefully posting about these books will keep me continuing to read. I mostly like Inspirational books or really good self help books. Leave me any suggestions on anything you like to read.
