What's on your shelf these days?
Christian Living
Most parenting books focus on the 'how-to' aspect of parenting, but this book is refreshingly different! The author turns our focus to wonder at the character of God and how He parents us, which in turn impacts us as we love and disciple our children. I highly recommend it! Find my full review here.
Following the theme of satisfaction, this new book by Amy Dimarcangelo points us to the grace, hope, comfort and strength given us in the gospel as we search for the longings of our heart. 5 stars! Read more of my review here.
A book on friendship and vulnerability that will challenge you! I really appreciated this one and think it's really important in light of the fragile ice we walk on in the aftermath of two years of divisiveness. 5 stars!!
Fiction
Once Upon A Wardrobe by Patti Callahan
For anyone who loves the Narnia series! This book is about a chronically ill young boy who does and longs for answers about the stories. His older sister, studying at university tries to help him find them by asking the author. The Lewis brothers, instead of answering them, tell her more stories instead, inviting her to consider the value of imagination. This was an excellent story! 5 stars!
* The Catch by Lisa Harris
In this third book of the series, we find Madison and Jonas reunite during a courthouse shooting, after his time away training for the special operations group. Their future together still uncertain, as Madison continues piecing together more about her husband's killer. There's two cases to solve and an abundance of mystery and suspense through it all. Highly recommend this book for Christian suspense lovers!
Theology
The Cross of Christ by John Stott
We so easily forget the centrality of the gospel in our daily lives. In this book, he takes us through central theological themes of the cross, to help us understand in a deeper way the work of Christ. It was a slow read, timely over the Easter season, rich in theology.
Bible Study
This upcoming release is one you'll want for your resource library! It's only 4 chapters and very practical. He guides us in how to study Old Testament passages when they're cited in the New Testament. There are great tables to follow as examples and exercises to follow at the end of each chapter. 5 stars!!
I really enjoyed this upcoming release by Albert Mohler, learning the importance of Jesus' parables and how they teach us about God's kingdom. Many of the stories we've heard numerous times, maybe we think we already understand what they mean, but he takes us to the cultural context and the place in scripture to help us interpret what they mean. Highly recommend!! 5 stars!
