In reply to Denise Maryott. Thanks for mentioning and reading my advent devotions. That warms my heart. That other book you are reading sounds great.

I have been doing so much more reading and I am currently reading several books. I am really enjoying the book Girls like Me about some of the women in the bible using the scriptures. I am looking forward to reading your Advent books this holiday season.

In reply to Martha Jane Orlando. Me too. I love to see what other bloggers of faith are reading. /there is always good ideas out there. Sarah Sanders book sounds interesting though I am not sure I can take more politics right now. LOL

In reply to Nancy Ruegg. The book of lists is fascinating and one to add to things we put in our journals. I love the book you suggested and just ordered it for myself. Thanks for the suggestion.

In reply to Lisa notes. That sounds like I book I would like too. This is probably the second, maybe third time I was entered the Interior Castle material with a group and am amazed what I see now I missed the earlier times. Definitely a book to revisit again and agin.

In reply to Pat Forsman. The whole interior castle book is really a lifelong study. I am about half way through the video class and can't believe what Jim Finley points out that I missed entirely. so much to learn and grown isn't there?

My book club read The Interior Castle 2 years ago. It took us a whole year to cover it! It has a lot of rich material, and a lot of hard material. I’m sure I would have benefited by doing a course like the one you’re doing!

The list book sounds fascinating! I am a list-maker for sure. 🙂

I recently started “Too Much Information”. As an Enneagram 5, it may be the very book I need. lol

Thank you, Jean, for introducing us to these intriguing titles! I need more hours in the day for all the reading/learning/discovering I’d like to do. My Book Wishlist is long, making the task of choosing always a challenge. Nonetheless, I’ll be adding Paintner’s and MacEntyre’s books to that list. Currently I’m reading Douglas McKelvey’s Every Moment Holy–a collection of liturgies for almost every occasion imaginable–from “The Ritual of Morning Coffee to “Paying the Bills.” McKelvey writes with poetic simplicity and great insight. I’m also rereading the Mitford series by Jan Karon. Delightful and restful!

Thanks for these book recommendations, Jean – I’m always on the lookout for something new to read, and I’ve selected two of the four you’ve expanded upon here to add to my wish list. I’m currently reading, and almost finished with, “Speaking for Myself,” by Sarah Sanders. It’s been an eye-opening look into life inside the White House, and I’ve certainly learned a lot from Sarah’s insights. Next up is “Live to Forgive” by Jason Romano.
Blessings!
