Great Reads

If I were back in school, Get to Know Mary would have been a great book for a book report. I like that this book tells about the time period that Mary live during. There are many pictures that make the book exciting. Part of the text sticks pretty much to what we are told in the Bible. Then we are given more information that would help to understand what was going on in Mary's life.

I am looking forward to getting more books in this series.

 Great Dates: Connecting Love, Marriage, and Fun on a Budget0 Great Dates: Connecting Love, Marriage, and Fun on a Budget was a fun book to get some ideas from for dates. The dates were broken down into categories for adventure, out-on-the-town, at-home, great outdoors, marriage pick-me-ups, romantic, seasonal specials, and unique and unusual dates. I like that they try to keep the dates cheap and focus on the relationship. Some of the dates included trips to estate sales, picking out cards, and watching a movie at a unique location. Great ideas to consider and make your own.

Miracle in a Dry Season was a great book to get lost in while breast feeding. My little one has been a hungry little girl recently, so I have managed to spend some time reading.

A friend and I were both reading this book and talked about how the time period in this book was confusing. The book took place in 1954, but felt like it should have been the 1800's. When they got in a vehicle, I was so confused!

The theme of forgiveness ran through this book. I was reminded that I need to be granting forgiveness to people even when they do not come and ask to be forgiven.
