My opinion on books I am curently reading
I am getting ready to go to Taiwan for a Short-Term Mission trip! This will be my second time, helping the same missionary as last year.
My daughter is going to Japan for STM for the first time with Grace Community Church. She told me about this book and of course, since I love books…
I borrow this book from HL since I’m interested in the evolution of the Asian American church. I’ve read online articles by DJ Chuang and generally like to read his insights.
I skimmed through this book because I don’t really want or need the details. I have many other books I want to read. And since I am generally familiar with Chuang’s material, I didn’t need to read it in detail again.
My son had been talking about living on a farm and recommended this book. After reading it, I want to live on a farm too!
I don’t have cable TV so I’ve not seen Fixer Upper. I love the book – read it in 3 days while other books are waiting in a stack. God…
The subtitle is “Leading change in the church”. I could’ve used this book when I was at my previous church. Though the results of failing to make the changes we tried to make would not have changed, it would’ve prepared me better. From what I learned from that experience, I did a better job at making changes at my current church.
This book is under the J section of the library – for Juvenile. My friend used this historical fiction in homeschooling her sons. I read it to consider using the book to teach English in Taiwan.
The historical setting is in the days of Jesus. These are a few short conversations between the main characters…
The subtitle is “Hopeful reflections on the challenges of parenting children with special needs.”
Recently we’ve had a couple more families with autistic children come to our church. I am glad God find us worthy to care for His special children.
I read this book to better understand the families. The authors have two autistic…
Read more of “The Life We Never Expected by Andrew and Rachel Wilson”
I received this book in my package to prepare for my upcoming short term mission trip.
I finished this book within a week; I couldn’t put it down. I would’ve finished it faster but Henri Nouwen’s books require a lot reflection and soul searching. This book is so good I am reading it again.
I couldn’t keep to my resolution that I would read one book at a time. I love to read books but I’m a slow and impatient reader, so I read several books at one time in order to get a taste of each book.
I made an effort to read through “Am I Called?” because…
I’ve been reading this book on and off, and have pretty much read the whole book. But I’m reading it again from the beginning because it encourages me so much and I’ve forgotten so much. As I reread it, I will jot down some good points that I want to remember. This will be an ongoing post.
Read another mystery, but after this I will go back to nonfiction.
The motivation for the murder was not very believable. Side stories were also a bit on the ridiculous side.
No more of Ruth Rendell for me, at least for now unless I get desperate.
