Happy weekend! Do you have anything fun planned?
I think it’ll be fairly quiet around here. My husband and I are on a healthy eating plan for a few weeks. It’s made us realize that most of our outings involve food – and not usually the healthy kind! – so it’s probably best if we stay close to home (and our salads 🙂 this weekend.
Now that we’re sliding into summer, I thought I’d take a look back at the best books I read this spring. This list has two non-fiction and three fiction choices.

1. The Greatest of These by J.D. Jones. I’ll start with this non-fiction book which is a compilation of sermons this pastor preached on 1 Corinthians 13. Like me, you’ve probably heard many sermons on this passage, but I found the practical truths he shares here very helpful.
2. All She Ever Wanted by Lynn Austin. Once again, Lynn Austin doesn’t disappoint! This fiction book is the story of three generations of women, the decisions they made, and how those decisions affected the generations after them. It was a compelling read!
3. The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese. I like books about books 🙂 and this story centers on an editor at a publishing house and a missing manuscript. It’s a bit of a mystery and a lot about friendship and loyalty.
4. Lady of a Thousand Treasures by Sandra Byrd. This one is set in the Victorian era and involves a young woman trying to solve a mystery, guard her heart, and save her family’s failing antique business.
5. Chris Beat Cancer by Chris Wark. I also enjoy reading health-related books, and a friend loaned me this one. It’s actually the impetus behind the healthy eating we’re currently doing! After the author had surgery to remove his cancer, he chose natural healing methods over chemotherapy to heal his body. He dives into some of the failures in our current medical system, including the big prescription drug companies, and shares what he did to get healing physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Be sure to let me know if you’ve read a great book recently!
