Janette, the first book "In the Presence of My Enemies" is the book that we own, but I haven't read "To Fly Again" so I'll look into that one. I remember when Ashley Smith's book came out but never read it; I haven't read the Renee Bondi book or the Robin McGraw book, but look forward to both of those.<br />Rebecca - Well, believe it or not, one year we did the Lord of the Rings trilogy as a family read aloud, and trust me, that is A LOT to read aloud!! But I should re-read The Hobbit before the movie comes out, so it's a good thing you gave me a Tolkein reminder. I haven't read any Ted Dekker, not much Janette Oke, no Brouwer and I love Hank the Bible Answer Man, but haven't read his fiction. I have always been fascinated with Michal, so I'll hunt that one down. "Rise Up" - the homeschooling book by Jr? If so, I agree, it's worth reading every single year!! Tell Ben I'll look for Lawhead. <br />Thanks ladies! Janette, you're in the lead, let's see if it stays that way until Saturday!! And Rebecca, I have a "prize" to send to you after the contest is done...I'll explain more when the time gets closer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14693558332456662306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821666900877788114.post-86897487836409865762010-01-31T21:46:32.715-06:002010-01-31T21:46:32.715-06:00Well,,,hmmm...obviously anything by Janette Oke, T...Well,,,hmmm...obviously anything by Janette Oke, Ted Dekker, or Tolkein. Sigmound Brouwer is one that I have been reading a lot of recently. Hank Hanegraff has written some decent novels...Can't think of the author, but the book was named Michal (wives of king david series)...that one was pretty good I thought. I am re-reading When You Rise Up for about the 10th time right now. (I always tend to read it this time of year...haha) Ben said he's been reading Stephen R Lawhead lately...anyway...don't know if that is anything new...I'm going to keep watching the comments as well, I am always looking for new authors, because once I find one, I tend to read everything they have written. Anyway...see ya!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484541504518128124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821666900877788114.post-19369076792393170682010-01-31T19:34:38.186-06:002010-01-31T19:34:38.186-06:00Hi again, Jan!
Ok -- I DO have Gracia Burnham'...Hi again, Jan!<br /><br />Ok -- I DO have Gracia Burnham's "To Fly Again", so I'll bring that if you wish to read it. Here are a few others you can check into to see if you wish to read them as well. I own these and would be happy to bring them to you if you want:<br /><br />1. "Unlikely Angel" by Ashley Smith -- about the girl taken hostage in Atlanta by the guy who open fired in a courthouse in Atlanta and was later freed after reading him part of her "The Purpose Driven Life" bible study.<br /><br />2. "The Last Dance but Not the Last Song" by Renee Bondi (foreward writte by Joni Eareckson Tada) -- this lady became a quadriplegic at age 29 and tells about her accident and story.<br /><br />3. "Inside My Heart" by Robin McGraw (Dr. Phil's wife) -- she tells about choosing t live with her life with passion and purpose.Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537637023778828307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821666900877788114.post-28384328343223054902010-01-31T19:11:45.064-06:002010-01-31T19:11:45.064-06:00Ok -- I found the book series I was telling you ab...Ok -- I found the book series I was telling you about this morning. It's the "Yada Yada Prayer Group" by Neta Jackson. It's Christian Fiction, which I don't normally read, but Logan's teacher at the time (Caleb's teacher this year) said I should read it and I found myself hooked to the series and really interested in watching this circle of women's friendship grow & change throughout each book! There are 7 books in the series -- and you do need to read them in order. They are all available from the library as well -- that's where I got them from. They 7 books in the series are:<br /><br />1 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group<br />2 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Down<br />3 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Real<br />4 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Tough<br />5 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught<br />6 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Rolling<br />7 - The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Decked Out<br /><br />Also -- the first Gracia Burnham book is "In The Presence of My Enemies" -- is that the one you've read? There is also "To Fly Again"! Have you read that one? I'm fairly certain we own that. I will go downstairs and look for it -- if we do have it, I will bring it to church with me and let you borrow it! :)<br /><br />I'll keep thinking of any others you may be interested in.....and/or that I enjoyed reading! :)Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537637023778828307noreply@blogger.com
