It has been a week since I last sat quietly with “Sweet Tea”.
We had a BLAST there shopping for new books and baubles for the ministry but the best thing was gathering 3 FULL boxes of FREE BOOKS!!
New book releases are one thing but books that are inspired by God to be released into the greedy (in a good way) hands of His Bride, takes this event to a whole new level.
There was a bit of talk about new trends in reading, BLOGS (of course!), E-Books (Big Stuff Coming there) and Kindle (or is it Kindel?)
These guys are coming your way AJ and Jacob!!
My boxes will arrive any day now so if you will take a minute to share what your favorite book of all time is or why you LOVE books and are praying for the Christian Booksellers of this Nation to stay strong, I will put you FIRST Place in my Give-AWAY drawing.
In the meantime—I need to figure out how to get “Mr Linky” on here cause I have LOTS of Giveaways coming your WAY!!! Anyone who can direct my steps with that gets signed up first!!
First of all, I love my Kindle but there's nothing quite like holding a book in my hands. I take my Kindle with me in my purse so if I have to wait I always have a huge choice of books to read. And it's great for travel. But reading to your grandchildren, I wouldn't recommend it.
My all time favorite book is of course, the Bible. But after that I love Andrew Murray's "The Holiest of All". Another book I keep coming back to and is much different is "A Place Called Simplicity" by Claire Cloninger. I guess that's because of the season of life I'm in right now.
Of course, I will be happy to pray for the Christian booksellers to remain strong.
And if Mr. Linky isn't working, I have a suggestion for you. There's a new kid in town. Brent Riggs started a new linky service that's also free called MckLinky. You can type it into your browser; it's a .com one. It's easy and I've used it before. He has been doing weekly blog hops using it to gain some visibility.
I always appreciate your visits to Heart Choices. You know I follow your son and daughter in law too. Her etsy site is great. And many in my family live in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. I hope you can know enjoy some time at home. It's fun to travel but there's no place like home.
My all time favorite book is still probably "To Kill A Mockingbird". I read it as a child, again as a teenager, and even once as an adult. As far as my favorite Christian fiction book it would be C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia". I could and have read those over and over again! When it comes to a book of the Bible it would be Romans.
For some reason I have a Mr. Linky account! 😉 So, I could definitely help you with that one!
Oh, I do love to read! I am ALWAYS reading something. Sometimes I will read 3 at a time.
I am surprised how hard this is to answer about my favorite book, so I guess I will just tell you one of the books I am reading right now. It is called, Satisfy My Thirsty Soul by Linda Dillow. I love it and am so challenged by it.
And yes, I will pray for Christian booksellers to continue to remain strong and be used mightily by God.
So glad you are back!
Debbie..I LOVE that Andrew Murray book but the other one sounds wonderful! I guess after this I will be adding to my book wish list!!
You are IN!!!
much love,
Pat

Pat, I am in from church and will be up for a little while before taking a nap. I work tonight through Wednesday night. Which basically means I am a little heard to catch b/c I work while the rest of the world sleeps and sleep while the rest of the world works. 🙂
Hi there my friend! I am in the middle of the mountains in Kentucky and lucky to have a signal!!
Favorite book of all time- Gone with the wind! It's a classic. Also, ANYTHING by Francine Rivers!! She has become a favorite author of mine.
See you in August!
Love, Jennifer
I loved the book, "The Shack". It really moved me to look at God in a whole new way.
