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?

The Chains of Fear

The other day Dan and I were chatting about life and I had to confess something: I’ve been struggling with fear. Fear that has taken residence in my heart, and I don’t like it. Since September of 2022, when I was diagnosed with leukemia, I have tried to battle the fear that was thrown like…

Don’t Get Stuck Getting Your Hair Cut Off

I was just reading the story of Samson and I was struck at how similar his life can be to mine – not always in the best of ways. No I don’t have incredibly long hair. No I don’t have 7 braids. No I don’t have the strength of an ox. What we do have…

Lessons Learned in Belize

While in Belize, I learned a lot about perceptions. Perceptions of who people are, can be so far off. Have you ever experienced that? When you perceive someone to be a certain somebody, you are judging them purely on the outside. How arrogant, Kristin! I think of some of the people we met in Belize –…

Desires and Grace

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. {Psalm 37:4} Yesterday I shared about what brought us to Minnesota, the journey it was to get there, and the people we came as. We came to Minnesota not knowing fully what we needed. We came broken and even more…

Trusting God with YOUR Story

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of this review. Something I am very passionate about, is encouraging and inspiring others to embrace their story. So when I heard that one of my favorite authors, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth was going to be publishing a book with her now husband,…

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…

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."
