I hope you like The Life-Giving Table. It's a bit different than the first, but still so encouraging!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the kind words. It's so nice to have such a great community of bibliophiles here with which to talk titles.

Anytime you have a new post about the books you enjoyed or your read alouds, i have your page open along with amazon and I’m adding books to our list the entire time haha! <br /><br />I personally couldn’t finish Uninvited. Now, I’ll say i don’t really think i FEEL the way she feels/felt, but i just felt as if each chapter focused on her woes. If that makes sense? I don’t know, maybe i should pick it back up. <br /><br />As for The Life-Giving Table, that one should be here tomorrow!! Should’ve been here today but Georgia, snow, and UPS doesn’t mix haha! So it was delayed and man I’m bummed! I read The Life Giving Home And re-reading it again this year for each month. I love her podcasts and man, she just seems like an old friend ❤️.Amanda Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447598981307493016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-17813977111471115532018-01-03T20:55:01.933-08:002018-01-03T20:55:01.933-08:00Thank you for the kind words!

He played such a bit part that I wouldn't really even rank the book in the "Christian" category. It seemed more "spiritual."<br />This is why I struggle with Niequist's writing...and the writing of several other big name "Christian" women's interest writers.

Mere Motherhood was one of my favorite reads last year (2016) and I'm happy to see that a number of books on my bookshelf right now, to be read in 2018, are part of your list! They are: The Life Giving Table, Uninvited, Why Motherhood Matters, Reading People, and Knights in Training! Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430175988540532506noreply@blogger.com
