The written word...

Some authors just have a way of capturing a story to the point where it is too hard to put it down! I just finished, Her Mother's Hope by Francine Rivers over the weekend. I love the building of the characters. I loved how I could relate to some of it. I love the relationships that were focused on between Mothers and Daughters and then Wife and Husband. And I'm thrilled that this is part one of two books -- can't wait to read the next one due out in the fall. Now I pass the book on to other River fans and I'm sure they will love it too! And for a better summary of what the book is about here you go - Tyndale House Publishers

Next up on the bedside table is So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore. I'm on chapter three so far and its hitting deep. I'm afraid I'm not going to take it all in as she has so much to say on the topic. I love how Beth Moore shares her life experiences with us and includes other real life stories - it makes you realize you are not in this alone. On her blog she has been going through the book with several hundred ladies so I have gone back to the questions she had them answer and will be going through those on my own. I would highly recommend this book to ANY women out there as I know not one of us can say we are free from this insane thing called insecurity. And again for a better descriptiong - go here

And the pile continues to grow of books I want to read so off I go to read some more!
