Left to Tell
One of my favorite biographies of all time. This book tells the fascinating story of how one woman survived the Rwandan Genocide and how she was able to forgive those who caused her family and country so much harm.
Led by Faith
The follow up story to Left to Tell. How God provided miracle after miracle of provision. Wept with Joy through this book.
The Blind Side
There was a period of probably 3 years where I stopped reading. I had little children and was sleep-deprived and only wanted to use my free moments to catch up on household chores or REST (with my eyes closed). Then, I watched (and LOVED) The Blind Side and wanted to know more. I checked this book out from my Library and started devouring books again. This book reminded me why I love reading! SUCH a GOOD story!!!
A follow up – An autobiography by Michael Oher – his side of the story:
I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness, to the Blind Side, and Beyond
The Hiding Place
Knights in Training
My favorite parenting book of all time. If you have sons, I would HIGHLY recommend it. Click on this sentence for my review of the book.
Bread & Wine or Bittersweet –
Two of my favorite books by Shauna Niequist. Stories of her life and how she sees God show up through the good and the bad.
One of my favorite books on Leadership. The author worked for Disney and tells some incredible stories. I’ve read this book twice and going to read it again in the next month!
Bonhoeffer –
The Biography of Fredrich Bonhoeffer. This is such an incredible book that I now want to read the other biographies by Eric Metaxas.
Passion and Purity
The Love Story of Jim and Elizabeth Elliot. Excellent story for girls ages 12 and up!
For Kids:
Climb, Soar, Swim, Explore!
My book – perfect time to buy if you haven’t already! With the $5 coupon, you can get it for $10!
It tells the story of the Magnificent Four who love to explore climbing Pike’s Peak and encounter the animals who live on this mountain. You and your child will enjoy this story of adventure and learn some fun facts about Colorado Wildlife!
Jesus Storybook Bible
This is a Bible in storybook form. It’s a GREAT way for parents and kids to see how the Bible is ONE story that all points to Jesus.
Christmas Lizard
A sweet story that shares the true meaning of Christmas.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
One of my favorite ‘chapter books’ for kids ages 8 and up. A heart-warming story about how some challenging children learn the story of Jesus and how it transforms them.
Bob books –
Great for beginning and struggling readers.
