WELCOME!
I am a mom, wife, singer-songwriter living in Minnesota. I started this blog to keep in touch with our community, listeners, friends, especially those who have joined in our partnership with Food for the Hungry and International Justice Mission. I love to be with friends and family, read, run, and converse. My off-line life is full, my on-line life anemic, but I enjoy sharing news of my favorite places and people, and I love hearing from you!
Thank you to the 900 individuals and families who have partnered with us and the community of Gisanga, Rwanda so far. All conversations about Rwanda are tagged so you can learn more about the community and our partnership there.

The Murder of Jesus by John MacArthur, re-reading Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, and just finished Jerry Bridges' The Pursuit of Holiness. I'd recommend them all!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm reading "So Long Insecurity" by Beth Moore
ReplyDeleteMight I recommend "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life" by Amy Kraus Rosenthal. Nothing monumental. A fun, easy read, but my very, very favorite! Love it! Love it! Love it! (Can't say that enough). Also, if you haven't read "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers, that's a must! And "Firstlight" by Sue Monk Kidd and "Great with Child" by Debra Reinstra. All great reads!
Oh, how I love a good book!
Blessings,
Shana
"Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking:)
I am reading Peace: A History of Movements and Ideas by David Cortright and I'm LOVING it. So interesting! Also reading Transforming Grace: Christian Tradition and Women's Experience by Anne E. Carr. Also interesting stuff. And everything else I'm reading is for my seminary classes...none of which seems to be as interesting as these two books. Of course.
ReplyDeleteCan't get out of John chapter 4 at the moment Sarah! and slowly reading through "Life lessons from the Hiding Place" about Corrie Ten Boom.

"Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson.
ReplyDeleteA favorite of many years, and recently recommended by John Piper on his blog.
Oh my! I just posted a brief "summer reading" blog that included a book you recommended during a workshop at Gordon College last year: "The Art of Family" :)
ReplyDeleteHow neat to find this new post of more recommendations...I'm looking forward to giving them a closer look!
I am currently reading "A Praying Life" by Paul E. Miller. It's a must read for everyone!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely recommend COLD TANGERINES: Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life, by Shauna Niequist. She's an amazing, descriptive writer and makes me proud to be a woman that is growing older & more beautiful everyday! Amazon sells it: http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Tangerines-Celebrating-Extraordinary-Everyday/dp/0310273609

I'm with Shana - I'm reading So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore and it's AMAZING. It's a must read --- especially if you already are aware of some of insecurities and want to be rid of them. And I've heard from my pastor's wife great things about Cold Tangerines - which makes me want to put it on my list! I also am a fan of Randy Alcorn's Edge of Eternity.
ReplyDeletefor whatever reason with the weather warming up - I probably will read more! So looking forward to seeing what other people have to say!

The Help, by Katherine Stockette, Very good!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm a 22 year old college student; I'm reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan...really good!
ReplyDeleteAlso I'm reading through "Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate" by Jerry Bridges. This book is AMAZING. I would highly recommend it. Prepare to be convicted and also encouraged!
I'm in the middle of reading Brennan Manning's "The Furious Longing of God." It's short but strong.
ReplyDeleteim reading "Plan B" by Anne Lammott. :) she is always an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Can't wait to check it out. Just finished "Louder Than Words" by Jenny McCarthy. (A must read if you have or know families with kids on the Autism spectrum.) I am also picking up Jane Austen's classic "Pride & Prejudice". Never read it. It's about time!
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite Book is a Bio! It is called "Kaffir Boy" by Mark Mathebane. It is about growing up in Johannesburg during Apartheid.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late on this post, but I'm reading "Reaching for the Invisible God" by Philip Yancey, and on-deck for me is "Follow Me to Freedom" by Shane Claiborne/John Perkins... also reading "With Justice For All" by John Perkins... just good to see the work of justice and love in our neighborhoods!
ReplyDeleteThe Irrational Season, by Madeleine L'Engle - have you read it? (it's part of 4 that make up the Crosswicks Journals) - wonderful books.
ReplyDeleteCurrently reading: "Answering God" by Eugene Peterson and "Northanger Abbey", Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteOther recommendations: "Girl meets God", Lauren Winner and "Counterfeit gods", Tim Keller, "Letters of John Newton".
"Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper
ReplyDelete"Radical Womanhood" by Carolyn McCulley
Both good so far =]
Next on my list is "Dug Down Deep" by Joshua Harris
Yes, "Dug Down Deep" by Joshua Harris - a great book, I highly recommend. Also, most anything by John MacArthur.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the small talk, Sara! Just got done reading Anne Rice's Christ the Lord series. Jaw-dropping at what God has done in her life and what he has done through her writings to illuminate the humanity of Jesus. Now reading Angel Time by her. Write me at amartinez457@gmail, Sara, if it's ever possible to keep up as two mamas. Talk to you. Lisa
ReplyDelete"Animal, Vegetable, Mineral" by Barbara Kingsolver. Good choice on "Owen Meany", by the way. Great read.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver.
ReplyDeleteTattoos On The Heart by Gregory Boyle is an amazing book. :)
ReplyDeleteJust finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks which was excellent...
ReplyDeleteAlso enjoy travel memoirs...My Life in France by Julia Child and Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes
Anything by Dan Allender is amazing...seriously. I just got finished reading Intimate Allies...so not your typical marriage book.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like to jump on bandwagons, but if I find an author I like, I usually read most of what they write...Brennan Manning...one of my absolute favorites.
