For the last few years, I've compiled the list of books I'd like to read for the year. It helps me intentionally decide what I plan on reading, but it also allows me some level of accountability. Despite becoming parents to two amazing kids in early 2012, I did manage to read most of the books on my list. As 2013 begins, I'm hoping to devote a few more minutes each day to reading.
So here goes...
Growing Grateful Kids by Susie Larson (This was recommended to me by my sweet friend Teresa.)
Time Peace: Living Here and Now With a Timeless God by Ellen Vaughn (A favorite author of my friend Trisha.)
Attaching in Adoption by Deborah D. Gray (Recommended to us as the best attachment book around.)
Who Do You Think You Are? by Mark Driscoll (For the next 16 weeks, our church will focus on the book of Ephesians. I'm excited to read Pastor Mark's new book, hear him preach through Ephesians, and work through it in community group and women's ministry.)
Keep a Quiet Heart by Elisabeth Elliot
Joni and Ken: an untold love story by Joni Erickson Tada
Fit to Burst: Abundance, Mayhem, and the Joys of Motherhood by Rachel Jankovic
Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching, and Appreciating Boys by Hal and Melanie Young
Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe by Sally Clarkson (She is the author of The Mission of Motherhood, which I read last year. It was amazing, so I have high hopes for this as well.)
I'll also be reading my Bible. I'm planning to study the minor prophets in the Old Testament, because I haven't spent much time with those books. I'm excited for how God will use them in my life this year.
Do you have a reading list? Anything you think I should add?
