What have you been reading? I am amazed at how I can get through them as I don’t have as much time for reading as I would like, only when going to bed at night or when traveling in the car and Colin is driving. All these books have been wonderful reading.
HEAVEN by Randy Alcorn was a life-changer for me. I’d recommend it to everyone if you haven’t already read it. I’d love everyone to read it.
I also loved the GOD’S GENERALS books. It was inspiring to read about these great men and women of God who accomplished such great things for God. And yet it wasn’t without sacrifice, heartache, and hardship. They all suffered many trials, persecution, and even betrayal (not only by enemies but often by those who were closest to them).
I see there are more in the series. I’d eventually like to read more in the series, THE REVIVALISTS, THE MISSIONARIES, THE MARTYRS, and THE HEALING EVANGELISTS. And I also have waiting 50 PEOPLE EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW (Learning from the spiritual giants of the earth).
STOP IN THE NAME OF GOD by Charlie Kirk is very thought provoking and includes much revelation that you may have never thought about before. A must reading.
THEO OF GOLDEN is a novel but the most inspiring and delightful story. And although another novel, I loved THE FROZEN RIVER, a historical novel about a true woman, Martha Ballard who was a midwife back in the late 1700s in Maine. I was so taken by this story that I now have A MIDWIFE’S TALE (The Life of MARTHA Ballard, based on her diary 1785-1812) waiting in my next pile of books to read.
THE FROZEN RIVER is written by Ariel Lawhon (who is actually Sam Allison’s sister. Sam is married to Serene, my daughter). When Ariel first came to Tennessee from the back blocks of New Mexico she came to stay with us. Serene shared her bedroom with her (I think this was one of Sam’s ideas to get Serene!). Anyway, it’s rather amazing to think that Ariel is now a New York Times bestselling author and with many top selling books, and Serene (along with her sister Pearl) are top selling authors of health books! Back in those days we didn’t see into the future. Now, I’ve just heard that they are going to make a movie of THE FROZEN RIVER. It should be amazing as her book is totally captivating. She is a very good writer.
Many blessings,
