My opinion on books I am curently reading
I picked up this book from the church giveaway table. It doesn’t look like it’s been read :)
I’ve heard the name Bob Goff, but I forgot the context. So I thought I’d give it a try.
It’s an inspirational book, though I don’t agree with all his spiritual reflections about God. I don’t like…
Everyone highly recommended this book. It took me a while to read it. It’s not the kind of book you read to get through it for the information. It’s more of a devotional book to dwell on and grow it in your heart.
I was not too impressed with the first couple of chapters, but it started to grow on me.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
I’ve been reading various books but didn’t finish one to post till now.
I found this book very insightful and inspiring, highly recommend this old treasure. I love the style of writing of old books.
Books I started and did not finish:
Growing Together by Melissa Kruger
I bought this book, by Voddie Baucham Jr. after hearing about it on a podcast, when my older daughter was starting to date. I skimmed it and didn’t think much of it. My daughter has been married for 3 years with a one-year old baby now, and I just read the book thoroughly.

It took me a long time to read this book, not because it’s not interesting. I was just caught up in reading a lot of blog posts about church things. It seemed more urgent to learn about how to run a church than to learn about the holiness of God…which of course is a case of wrong thinking.
I bought this book a while back after listening to them on a podcast. The practical ways they helped couples work through ordinary struggles made a lot of sense. I finally got around to reading it.
I usually give a book to couples getting married. I am now going to give them this book.
Read more of “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts by Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott”
This book was recommended by a missionary friend. She said I don’t have to read the chapters in order. Each chapter describes how God is moving among the Muslims in different regions of the world to bring them to Jesus.
I only read one chapter, not the whole book. So this does not count as…
Read more of “A Wind in the House of Islam by David Garrison”
Elisabeth Elliot is one of my heroes.
I salvaged this book from the box of church library books. Never throw away an Elisabeth Elliot book, no matter how old the cover looks! Turns out my daughter purchased a new copy! Sigh…
There was so much in this book to think about as I read it.

When I need a break from reading heavy material, I read a Christian Hero biography series. I can read one in a few hours and fulfill my monthly book read.
I have not heard of Ida Scudder. I think I will highlight her in mission sharing with the church children one day. She served as a missionary doctor in India as a single woman from 1900-1960!
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a long time. Finally borrowed it off of Pastor A’s shelf.
JMac wrote the book in response to the issue of people who deny lordship salvation. I didn’t even know that was an issue until recently. I assume everyone knows that when you ask Jesus to be your Savior, you understand He becomes your Lord. However, there are Bible teachers who teach otherwise.
