a reading list

Somewhere between graduation from the U of I and burning out at seminary, I lost the desire and motivation to read for pleasure. It's understandable and okay that I'm burnt out, but it's not okay to throw in the towel and use the "I'm burnt out" excuse forever. So I'm going to keep a running list of books I'd like to read. I'm not going to give myself time limits or anything; I think just knowing that I have other books I want to read will help motivate me. 


So I'll keep adding to this as time goes on -- and PLEASE if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them! -- this is what I have so far.


1. One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp [currently reading]
2. Seven Steps to Healthy Eating, Paul Reisser [currently reading]
3. Calm My Anxious Heart, Linda Dillow
4. Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, Paul David Tripp
5. Re-Read Feminine Appeal, Carolyn Mahaney

It's not November, but I'm thankful for...

Inspired by this book... I'm embarking on my own journey to become more aware and more thankful for everyday gifts of grace.
