A Time to Dance ~ Karen Kingsbury

A story about new life in the Lord and marriage but also real struggles and doubts; Kingsbury captures it all in A Time to Dance. A quote that caught my attention in this book is “The eagle is the only bird that doesn’t run from trouble. Instead it uses the storms of life to take it to a higher place.” A Time to Dance helps us to see that we can’t run but we need to run into the arms of God.

Well, Kingsbury has done it again! She has an amazing way of grabbing the reader’s attention from the beginning and keeping it until the very last page. I received this book at about 1pm and was done twelve hours later (with a few short breaks). Kingsbury has been given an amazing gift to write but she is also sincere in her relationship with the Lord and listens to what the Lord is teaching her and calling her to write about and that comes across in her books. A Time to Dance is a must read! Book received from booksneeze.com

Searching for God Knows What ~ Donald Miller

Searching for God Knows What ~ Donald Miller

Miller captures God the way the Bible does. There is no sugar coating Christianity. He speaks the truth and not what we want to hear as Christians but what we need to hear. This book may make you uncomfortable at times but it is an example of why we believe what we do and God never called us to be “comfortable Christians”.

Miller says “Being a Christian is more like falling in love than understanding a series of ideas.” This is so true, and what it is all about. We get fed ideas all the time about how a Christian “should” act but Miller is challenging us to get back into the Word and be real with God. This is the first book I have read by Donald Miller and certainly won’t be the last. He has a way of drawing the reader in while speaking honestly. This book was received from booksneeze.com
