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?

What Brought Us To Minnesota

Last year, when the opportunity to move to Michigan became not something we wondered if we ever would, but became an option, we started to already think about what moving would mean. When we left our previous church, we came away broken, tear-filled, and confused. So much of our life did not make sense. We…

Graduation & Youth Ministry

I decided to switch up the topics a little bit and talk about some of the things I learned at the Youth Ministry Conference back in March. I know, it was a long time ago, but I have been reflecting on the summer and the importance of hanging out with our kids. While pondering, I…

Why I Want To Be A Messy Person

I never thought I would say that. I know I have mentioned this story in the past, but it stands repeating since this is the perfect example of how messy and Kristin do not always match up. One day I was busy preparing food for many occasions when a youth group kid randomly stopped by….

Catching Up

Here’s what has been going on in our life lately… Dan was gone last week to Summit, a conference for Christian educators in Dayton, Tennessee (near Chattanooga). Dan said it was interesting being the only youth pastor and one of the only people from a church (the rest were Christian school teachers or homeschool parents)….

God Creating Loveliness

Yesterday morning, before I left for work, Dan told me I should read the Jesus Calling for that day. Jesus Calling – November 7 Worship Me in the beauty of holiness. All true beauty reflects some of who I Am. I am working My ways in you: the diving Artist creating loveliness within your being….

A Place To Call Home

Think about what words come to mind when you hear the word “home”. I often think of a place of comfort, living and doing what we love, a place to just BE, and a place to be together. How about you? What makes your home, a place to call home? A month ago, Dan accepted…

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."
