friday five ~ my books my babies



Reading for me isn't a mundane task, its an indulgence look out here it comes, I desire to read much more than I actually do. Why? Because its a privilege a lot of people deny themselves. It is an opportunity to dine on the thoughts of others and eat them up or spit them out. Either way you learn more about the world and more about yourself its an extraordinary thing.

I love what the people below have to say about reading.

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”
― William Styron, Conversations with William Styron

Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”
― Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
― Robert Frost

The following book are ones I highly recommend, they are powerful and life changing!

First and foremost:I have to recommend my all time favorite:
Redeeming Love by:Francine Rivers
This book truly speaks to one's heart about the power of forgiveness.



Next on the list: A Woman after God's Own Heart by: Elizabeth George
This book taught me so much about what it means to be a woman in Christ everything from time management to family life.



Numero 3: Who Do You Think You Are? by: Mark Driscoll
I'm reading this book right now with my mentor and its wowing me! Truly giving me a whole other perspective of who God is and how he so lovingly attends to his sons and daughters.



4.Reshaping It All by. Candace Cameron Bure
This is a Christian book about health and fitness. It was a really helpful tool that I used in overcoming my eating disorder.
Candace candidly shares her struggles with an eating disorder and how God's word spoke truth to her heart about the health of her body.


Last bust not least is the book I want to read once I finish up school for the summer.
Bonhoeffer by:Eric Metaxas
New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace, a groundbreaking biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer,a Christian pastor and one of the greatest heroes of the twentieth century, the man who stood up to Hitler. If this is the description I can only imagine what lies within the pages of this man's life biography.
