Hey everyone! I'm currently reading Max Lucado's "Out Live Your Life" and Jan Karon's "Home to Holly Springs" and will be thrilled to let you know what I think. I would love to hear your thoughts too!

Radical by David Platt

Radical may not only step on toes, but stomp on feet!  Reading this book was like eating a 10 course meal-meaning, I had to take in 1 chapter at a time, highlight, reread, and digest it.   Alot of thinking and digesting had to occur.  This book will challenge the christian life as you know it, challenge the structure of the modern church as you know it, and challenge how you live your life.  It will burden your heart for others, awaken your senses to the life of others, pull up deep feelings regarding traditions and "the way things have always been."  This book would be a great study group book or read as a stand alone. But be prepared-your mind will go haywire with new thoughts, ideas, and questions that you will want discussion with a fellow reader.  Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!  Be prepared for a deep thinking book-and wear steel toed boots! Please note-this book was not a free book for the purpose of a review-it was simply a personal review.



Crazy Love by Francis Chan

Wow, after reading the book "crazy love" ,by Francis Chan, you can't help but question your relationship with the Maker and others-not only in your family, but in your neighborhood, church family, and around the world.  "Crazy love" will have you asking questions regarding finances, life goals, desire to follow Christ, and motivation behind it all.  "Crazy Love" will open doors of conversation regarding the traditional way church is run and asking "why we don't want more as christians?"  It is a great thought provoking book with catchy stories as well as ideas for service.  It has a nice selection of useful resources and websites for further information as well.  Great book worth reading or doing as a small group study!
