What are you reading?

Tell me ladies ( and I heard today from a great resource, thanks Jolie!) that some men are reading this too, what are you reading these day? Thanks to Ryan, Ben and Brad for reading or having this blog read to you. And please note Ryan and Brad this is not a forum for you to slam one another ! :)

So what are you reading? I am about to order More Love to Thee by Sharon James. It is a new book about the life of Elizabeth Prentiss, Sally's namesake. She, Prentiss, was an amazing woman of faith and I can't wait to read this. Also, I will be participating in the Girl Talk blog, http://girltalk.blog.com, about this book.

I am also reading A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot about the life of Amy Carmichael. I tried to read Suzanne's copy in college but I was so immature I put it aside as boring! Now that I have seen just a minute part of what her life was like I am now hanging on every word.

Tell me girls... what books and blogs and journals are you reading?

Please respond on this site so that everyone can see. I have this set so that you can all respond and read what the others think.

I'm currently reading a William Carey biography. Missionary bios always kick me in the pants b/c I realize that I have no room for whining or complaining. They had it SO much harder than we do today. The travel, the medical care, the lack of technology - I don't know how people did it. With a LOT of faith, I guess. We have internet, phone, a truck, even Direct TV here in the mountains of Peru! Unbelievable! So, if you start feeling sorry for yourself, I recommend some good real life biographies. They are a cure-all!
Brad & I read some Jane Austen novels (with all of our free time before we got DirectTV...). They are so much fun - I never read them in high school, but I don't think I would have enjoyed them as much. Sense & Sensibility is probably my favorite, but I really like them all.
I'm doing a Bible study called "Behold Your God" by Myrna Alexander. I don't know much about her - someone gave me the book. It is on the attributes of God - any study with that theme is hard to beat. It is great. I think it is so good (for women especially) to be constantly reminded that God is all-knowing, all-wise, and all good! It takes away so much of the stress and worry that comes with everyday life - just knowing that my life is the hands of this awesome, loving, wise God.

Thanks for your comments on the books and other things that you are reading. I am glad to hear what others find interesting. It is also good to what others recommend to spur us on to read and be encouraged by others in the faith.
