Fall Reading List Review.....

I haven't posted in over a month due to a lot of need to care for my family first.  We had a fun Christmas and got through tubes with our youngest.  We have survived bone chilling weather the last few days (without going stir crazy in doors).

Several months ago I put my Fall Reading List out.  I have been able to read several of these books and will share a general recap on each of them over the coming weeks.  I started this back in May with my Summer Reading List.  It has been good for me to read and not waste mindless time.

Up first, two really easy reads that I simply adored.

//LOVE DOES by Bob Goff//

My husband recommended this book to me.  He read it together with other staff members, probably a year ago.  He said it was an easy and inspiring read.  And it is just that.  Bob Goff is a lawyer (you will be amazed at the story of how he got into law school).  He is an advocate for children in the US and Internationally.  This book will have you saying "I can't believe he did that"!  It will challenge you to actually put love into action.  

A few of my favorite stories from the book:

1. His assisting a stranger to pull of the most magnificent engagement story you have heard.  Complete with a grand finale on a yacht, fireworks & the US Coastgard.  

2.  Challenging his children to write their suggestions for world peace to leaders of countries all over the world.  And promising that if they got a letter back, he would take them to that country.  (He had to take his kids out of school and travel the world to keep the promise).

3.  His friendship with a biochemist who never gave up on his freeze dried coffee experiment.  And, 20 years after his invention, Starbucks selling it as VIA.

4.  Sailing from LA to Honolulu on a 35 ft sailboat with 5 guys, several cans of beans, and no officially trained navigator.

I loved this book because I could read and did not have to think too much.  Bob writes through personal conversation.  So grab a pack of your favorite VIA, pour it in some hot water, and flip through the pages of this INSPIRING ADVENTURE!

{{AUDREY BUNNY by Angie Smith}}

If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time you know that I love Angie Smith.  This is a recent work of hers.  The book is sweet story of a "flawed bunny" and a little girl who wasn't bothered by the flaw.  Angie's personal story involves a bunny and a sweet little girl named Audrey Caroline, who now lives in heaven with Jesus.  I encourage you to read this beautifully illustrated book and familiarize yourself with the personal story God has given Angie Smith in I Will Carry You.

If you are an e-reader like me and you like Beth Moore, you will want to take advantage of an offer that last until tomorrow....free downloads of some of Beth's best writings.  I just searched Amazon for Beth Moore and there were TONS of Kindle downloads for free.  

ENJOY!
