January Reading

February 5, 2013 by Tracey 2 Comments

I’m not sure where I found the time to do all this reading last month, but I made my way through some great books!

  • Evidence Not Seen:  A Woman’s Miraculous Faith in a Japanese Prison Camp During WWII by Darlene Deibler Rose.  What a powerful and moving book!  This woman’s faith and trust in God through all that she endured inspired me.
  • One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.  I loved much of this book, but was put off by the terminology she used in the last chapter.
  • All the Money in the World:  What the Happiest People Know about Getting and Spending by Laura Vanderkam
  • Finding God’s Path Through Your Trials:  His Help for Every Difficulty You Face by Elizabeth George
  • Delivered with Love by Sherry Kyle.  This was a cute fictional story.
  • My Southern Food:  A Celebration of the Flavors of the South by Devon O’Day
  • His Needs, Her Needs by Willard F. Harley, Jr.
  • Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot.  Don’t know how I’d missed this Christian classic!  I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to have my daughters read it when they are older.
  • Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned while Living in Paris by Jennifer L. Scott.  What a fun little book this was!
  • Celebrate:  A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends by Pippa Middleton.  The photography in this book was gorgeous.  I was motivated to add a little more “celebration” to every day moments as well as for special occasions.

    What did you think of His Needs Her Needs? It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember being put off by the chapter where he basically says that a wife needs to keep herself looking good so her husband will continue to love her.

    I enjoyed Through Gates of Splendor, too.

      His Needs, Her Needs was okay. The focus of the book was "affair-proofing" your marriage and that theme definitely ran throughout the book. Since I'd read it before (years ago, like you :), it was pretty much what I expected. I'm looking forward to reading some other books on marriage this year.
