While I have been on my blogging break, in addition to making the above mentioned memories (BTW, I will blog about some of them soon), I have been feeding a new addiction, i.e. reading Karen Kingsbury books. A few months ago a friend gave me a book by Karen Kingsbury which I simply loved. (Actually it was two books in one - One Tuesday Morning and Beyond Tuesday Morning.) Just as I was about finished with the second book, this same friend sent me another one of Karen's books for Christmas.
This time she sent me Divine.
I finished the book I was reading and got started on my new one. And I tore through the new one! The story itself is compelling, and made me do a lot of thinking. But the thing that really drew me wasn't the fiction - it was the Truth. The Truth about Jesus - His incredible love. His Divine power. His willingness to forgive - everything. His ability to redeem shattered lives.
Our Savior is amazing.
I stayed up too late last night so I could finish reading and as I put the book down I realized I was more drawn to Jesus. More in love with Him. More wanting to be like Him.
If you have a chance to read this book, do it!
Glad you had a merry Christmas, sorry about the cold! I'll have to look for the book Divine, sounds... well... divine :o)!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Great to have you back! I love book recommendations. Someone just recommended "The Shack". I'll let you know how it is!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation. I guess it has to be good if it's written by a Karen. ;)
ReplyDeleteI had a bad cold at Christmas time too. It's good to feel better again. I hope you have a great new year!!
Love her books too!
ReplyDeleteAn easy yet inspiring read!
I need to get that book. I find myself not reading much other than text books except in the summer. Bad, bad habit. But this one sounds like I need it! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New year my friend!!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas sounds like mine. Hopefully this cold is just about gone! :)
ReplyDeleteI {heart} Karen Kingsbury. Especially her series about the Baxters. If you've not read those, you need to start at the beginning. Talk about being hooked. You'll be reading 'til February!!
I'm in a reading frenzie too only I'm reading Francine Rivers, The Lineage of Grace series, I just completed the Sons of Encouragement Series...enjoy!
