Some books for your bookshelf....

Written in a loving, and encouraging way, the Duggar parents share how they strive to have a household that is God glorifying. By speaking kindly, softly, and in an encouraging voice they spend more time training their children rather than disciplining. Although I did not agree with everything written, this was a great book. It tells of the story of the birth of their premature baby, and the struggles that they went through. The book gives guidelines and resources for living a Christian life. They have wonderful points and tidbits that they share. This is a book that stresses the importance of a godly family and encourages families to strive for that goal. A book worth reading.

When you have been encouraged, your first impulse is to encourage someone else. Encouragement is infectious. One of the motivations behind the apostle Paul's letters to the New Testament churches was his desire to encourage his friends. This book explains the importance of encouraging and ways to encourage. Hurting people need encouragement, children need encouragement, and the list goes on. Encouraging others brings much joy! This book is a must read.

Wow. Very intense. This book was hard to put down and had me captivated right to the very end. Mosab Yousef, a young Palestinian gets captured by the Israeli army and makes a decision that changes his life. This book shows the complexities of the Middle East and how God is still working through many people to bring His Word.
