    Books I Read – April 2022

    May 4, 2022 - By 

    Last month, I wasn’t thrilled with the books I read. It’s just crazy how I can be so enamored by a cover or a 2 sentence description and then as I read I feel really disconnected with the characters and/or the story line. Admittedly I’m bad about going into a book blindly without doing too much research, because I don’t want any spoilers.

    The Shack {the book}

    July 24, 2009 - By 

    I just read finished finally reading The Shack. If you have not read the book, I would highly recommend it. I don’t want to discuss the book too much, because I don’t want to give anything away. I will say that I really took to heart the biblical teachings and was able to relate them to my own life. As I was reading I found some quotes that I liked. Here they are: When all you can see is your pain, perhaps you lose sight of me? -p.96 Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to…
