Summer Reading

Summer is a great time to grab a book and read. The days are longer...some of your favorite shows like LOST and Grey's Anatomy won't be back for awhile...

Here are some of my suggestions:

Fiction:
The Mark of the Lion Series by Francine Rivers. Be ready to read all three in a row because you won't be able to put them down.
The Chronicles of Narnia series by CS Lewis. (The Prince Caspian movie just came out...try reading the book first if you haven't already gone...the books are always better)

Finance:
The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Great motivation and a practical plan for getting out of debt, completely. A fresh perspective on credit and borrowing money.

Children's Books:
Bear Feels Sick by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman (cute story about helping others)
My First Little House Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder (teaches kids what it was like before all our modern conveniences)
How are you Peeling? Foods with Moods by Freymann and Elffers (feelings displayed through vegetables...make some inspiring veggie art after reading this one with your kiddos)
Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert (goes well with planting your garden or flower beds)

Mothering:
The Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson (a wonderful perspective on following Jesus model of discipleship and applying it to our calling of motherhood)

Spirituality:
The Holiness of God by RC Sproul (Increase your view of God and his holiness)
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (challenge your view of what being a disciple of Christ requires)

Take some time to read...and please post any suggestions you may have of worthy reading!
