Thanks for the list!!!
Just in case you do not already know about Paperback Swap book club I wanted to mention it. I have found many great books that I was looking for and was able to post books we were finished with. It has been a blessing to our family.
Thanks for sharing your list.
I was JUST thinking of doing something like this today! lol You listed some great books! I LOVE to read, and squeeze it in whenever I can! {grin}
I have not read Crazy Love, I keep thinking of adding to my requests at the library and then forget. So it’s totally worth it?
Check my blog, I gave you an award.
(And dang you look young in that picture to the right…feeling old right now LOL)
Great minds think alike . Love Wayne Jacobsen, Chan, Yancey, Manning, Miller, Lucado.
Just started a few you would like: “Bo’s Cafe” by publisher of “The Shack” and “Misunderstood God”
The Noticer was a good read.
Candace – I like to see your ever-growing list but where are the fiction books you recommend? I am not a non-fiction book lover – it has to be especially really, really good for me to read {and keep reading} a non-fiction book. Now I did really love Crazy Love, a lot. I couldn’t put it down. There was a Philip Yancey book that I couldn’t stop reading either. But usually it’s fiction that I really get into and love. I’d love to hear your favorite recommendations.
i know you from somewhere. . .can’t quite figure out where? did you used to teach before you began to homeschool? maybe, i’ll figure it out. found your blog through a comment on rebecca’s blog.
i met rebecca when we sold tupperware together. i taught at piedmont. . .i must have just “seen” you. . .but heard your name. i taught there for 3 years before leaving when i had my oldest son! small world!!!!
this blog-world is just neat. . .i just meet people that live right down the road, you know?
god is so cool!
