I thought I'd give y'all a peak at the books I'm reading right now. I'll give you the title, author and a brief summary.
Knowing God, by J.I. Packer: I'm reading this book for a ladies Bible study. It is a pretty easy read but incredibly full of depth. I highly recommend this contemporary classic to anyone!
Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families & Churches, by Russell D. Moore: My sweet friend Joy Portis recommended this book for me. An eye-opening book about the need for Christians to adopt. As you may know, my husband works in a ministry related to foster care/adoption. This book has been incredibly validating for me as my husband's biggest supporter.
Raising Fit Kids in a Fat World, by Judy Halliday: Since my kids don't have a regular PE/Health class, this book is helping me teach them some concepts related to using our bodies in the way God intended.
The Kingdom Keepers II: Disney at Dawn, by Ridley Pearson: Harrison and I are working on the second book of the Kingdom Keepers series. It's an adventure-fantasy about a group of children that are attempting to save Disney World from the "Overtakers". It is a l-o-n-g book, but we are loving it. It would be most appealing to kids in grades 3+ that love Disney World or are planning a trip to Disney World.
Hotel for Dogs, by Lois Duncan: My kids loved this movie! (Scott and I thought it was a snoozer.) So, Anna Grace and I are reading it together. It is very cute and much, much different than the movie. Any age child would enjoy this book.
Chronicles of Faith: Paul, by Barbour Publishing: I'm reviewing this biography series intended for middle to upper elementary. I will give a full review in the upcoming weeks. So far, I'm really enjoying it.
January's Sparrow, by Patricia Polacco: I was at the library and just couldn't resist this book. I will give a full review in a couple of days. She is one of my favorite children's authors!
Teaching Struggling Readers, by Carol A. Lyons: The subheading of this book is equally as fascinating, How to Use Brain-based Research to Maximize Learning. Well, this one is no surprise. I'm reading this book to help me find ways to help struggling readers.
Well, there you go! Eight books that I'm juggling. Each one is so different. I must confess, I'm enjoying each one. I try to take a book with me everywhere I go. So, whenever I have some down time I can catch up on my reading. However, after documenting them for y'all I realize I've really got to finish up some of these...
Happy reading!
