Top 10 Tuesday: Books I WANT To Read

August 30, 2011April 28, 2017

I have had a book list for awhile of books I’ve wanted to read. I’ve been able to read two of them, but I still have a ways to go on my list :). And of course, I see books come in daily at the bookstore that I want to read. Thankfully these are all books that we stock at the store – now I just need to take the time to read them! I would say it’s a wide variety to a certain extent, but they are all books that have caught my attention. You may be wondering about the random parenting book – you may laugh, but I enjoy reading parenting books because it helps me understand our youth group kids ten times better and understand some of the homes they may be coming from. And with my social work background, those type of books I enjoy!

1. Wierd – Craig Groeschel
2. Radical – David Platt
3. Redeeming Love – Francine Rivers
4. Forgotten God – Francis Chan
5. Who Is My Neighbor – Wayne Gordon – JUST FINISHED!
6. Erasing Hell – Francis Chan
7. Heaven – Randy Alcorn
8. Parenting With Love and Logic – Foster Cline & Jim Fay
9. Growing Up Amish – Ira Wagler – FINISHED!
10. Think – John Piper

Have you read any of these books? Let me know what your thoughts are on them if you have! Also, what books are on your list – and what books should I add to this list?

Much More Than We Deserve

This post is a long time in coming, but I have been doing a lot of thinking about Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite holiday (next to Christmas) because I often need to get humbled. I find it so ironic that Black Friday falls the day after we have a designated day to give…

Surrounded By A Great Cloud

This is probably not the cloud you are thinking of. This past weekend in Michigan, was filled with many fall clouds and rain, as the Sterks became more and more antsy to get outside. I sometimes wonder how we get through the long winter months! But I’m not talking about actual cloud cover. I’m talking…

Quality vs. Quantity

In a perfect world, I’d sit on our porch, read the Bible for hours, maybe do a personal Bible study, spend lots of time in prayer, and even do some writing or journaling while I’m sitting there too. Though sometimes it seems as if the minute I sit down, Mazy wakes up. No matter WHAT…

Stepping Away From Perfection

Have you ever felt that you can’t escape the trap you have put yourself in? The trap that our culture has us in? The trap that the Enemy has us in? I recently read a book called The Turquoise Table, which was gifted to me by a dear, dear friend. She knew the timing of…

This Is Just The Beginning

I first want to thank you ALL for all of your emails, messages, encouragement, and most of all prayers. To be honest, I was nervous when I hit the “publish” button yesterday on our blog because I knew we were opening up our life about a situation that is very unique. We know that not everyone…

What Is Your Ark?

In the Bible study I am in, we have started a new book called Life Principles from the Old Testament. I am constantly amazed at the new life lessons that God introduces to me everyday! I believe the thought is true that the more you learn about the Bible, the more you realize how much…

Redeeming Love is awesome! I love Francine Rivers! Last summer I read her "Her Mother's Hope" and "Her Daughter's Dream" which was an over 1000 page journey, but so good. :)I also highly recommend her "Atonement Child."
