Before the weekend I hit my favorite used book store and picked up a few I have always wanted to read…items along with a few new discoveries. Also, the latest Mollie Makes issue was waiting in my mailbox
I gathered them all up and hit the swing on Saturday. Enjoying the cooler temps and the slow paced day.
I have not be disappointed so far with my choices. In fact, Leaving Church is a new favorite, that I have almost completely re-read already, while copying inspiring and amazing quotes onto index cards. Sadly most of my new treasures will have to remain unread for a while, and my swing will sway lonesomely as I am about to go back into heavy book writing mode during our fall break. Maybe knowing that some great books are waiting for me will motivate me to get A LOT done!
Here’s hoping!
Amazing Grace is hands down one of the books that had a HUGE impact on me years back. I gave my copy away to someone who needed it at least 5 years back, but have been meaning to get my hands on another copy. Before I had ever heard of such a thing as emerging church, even before Donald Miller, there was me, my questions, Kathleen Norris & Larry Crabb.
oooh, I am going to the library tomorrow while my little one is at preschool so i hope i can find a couple of those. the red tent is one of my all time favorite books, love it so much.and i want that magazine..wonder if i have to order it or can i find it at a bookstore? your little spot looks prefect for hanging out and reading!
