Or are we saving that up for a rainy day?

I love books.


My friend Morgan Tagged me to do this...and it is fun.


One book that:
Changed my life- "The Jesus I Never Knew" This book unveiled the Jesus of the gospels for me rather than the Jesus of suburban evangelical Christianity. The Jesus of the gospels is not clean, is homeless, and loved the ones on the edges. I want to do social work because of this book.

Read more than once- "Traveling Mercies" by Anne Lammot. I can just pick this book up anytime and read it.

That I would want on a dessert Island: I have an "Annie Dillard Reader" that has a few of her books and short stories all in one book. Her writing is almost sacramental. It is ALWAYS beautiful.

That Made me Laugh- "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller though fairly profound underneath it all was often funny.

That Made you Cry- "The End of An Affiar by Graham Green. This is one of my favorite books of all time. But it is heart breaking.

That I wish I had written- "The Cost of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer...I mean really..have you read the book? It challenges anyone with breath.

Book that I am currently reading: "The Complete Short Stories of Flannery O'Connor" This book makes for perfect bedside reading.

Book that I want to read: Anna Karenina...it's just so long...but i have heard that it is sooooo good.

I choose to do this:
Ashely Gill
Leah
Meredith H.
Pammy.

The Cost of Discipleship + Dr. Gloer = the best life group experience ever!
