Books

Just wanted to share and recommend few books that I am reading right now.

The first is a book that I am sure most of you have heard of or even read, Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life. A church that Zach and I attended when we were dating gave us this book during the launch of the 40 Days of Purpose campaign. We have vowed to hold each other accountable for reading a chapter each night and also discuss/apply it to our lives. Sadly, I don't think either one of us finished it years ago when we received the books, but this go round will be different! I love that we can do this together to strengthen our relationship with Christ as well as each other.


The next is by an author that I adore! I fell in love with her when I read a book called Redeeming Love. Francine Rivers is an amazing Christian fiction author. A Voice in the Wind is the first book in a series called The Mark of the Lion. I actually just started it today, but I look forward to getting lost in it!


I enjoyed reading the Twilight series so much that it sparked my interest in reading again. I am one who really likes to read, but rarely finishes a book, so this is exciting for me!

Yes I started Purpose Driven Life and got pretty far and never finished it :( Weird that you posted this because I was thinking about reading it from the beginning again.

Yes...I have read the first one, but would love to get my hands on the second book you posted. I might have to go shopping this weekend.
I'm exactly like you...After reading the Twilight series, I was more inspired to read again.
