What are you reading now?

I am currently reading Finding Peace by Charles Stanley. Love it. But even more, I believe it is a divine appointment for me to read it at this time in my life.
Also, lately I have read some fiction from Terri Blackstock.
Read a little bit so far in Charles Stanley's Eternal Security. Also, going through His Institute course online which I mention because it also, in my opinion, is a study, except online.
Truly, God is in control and has placed such comforting books in my life at this time.

I just started The Power Of A Praying Wife. My husband told me he does not believe in God. We were both raised Catholic, but he stopped going to church after he was confirmed. NOw I am trying to raise my daughter as a Christian...I wonder if this book can help me to be a better wife and be an example for my husband...he's a tough nut to crack....

Moira,
May I suggest a worthy book, and one that is not to expensive.

The Fight; the Christian Struggle by Dr. John B. White, InterVarsity Press,,about $9.00 US and can be had online at the InterVarsity Press site.

It is a good foundation read and a good book to leave laying about where your husband may pick it up when no one is looking.

Cheers,

Jim

Just finished Beverly Lewis' "Abram's Daughters - The Covenant" and am half way through "Abram's Daughters - The Betrayal"

Great books - great reading.

Her book "The Redemption of Sarah Cain" got me interested in the Amish. Since then I have purchased and read all her books on the Amish.

I am reading "Brothers, We Are Not Professionals" by John Piper. I am about half way through. It is a VERY good book.

It is meant for pastors, and I wish many of them would read it.

That was a great book. I really enjoyed it. I have found myself going back and rereading portions.

Re-reading, Notes From My Bible, D.L. Moody.
