Weekend Reading, Traveling


My husband just finished reading The Heavenly Man, the remarkable true story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun. I’ll be starting it next, because I need to have conversations with him; this book has changed him. Marital communication tip: if your spouse ever says a particular book or movie was very impacting, do yourself a favor and read it or watch it.

I’ll be reviewing The Heavenly Man right here when I’m finished, so be on the lookout. This is for the November Christian Book Fair hosted by Chrysalis, and you can click here if you’d like to submit your own Christian book review.

Several blog carnivals to visit if you have time this weekend:

The Carnival of Family Life
The Carnival of Homeschooling
The Christian Carnival
Festival of Frugality

I just might get away all by myself this weekend to catch up with old friends, including my dear friend K. who just had a baby! As long as there’s no snow on the mountain I would have to drive over. I don’t drive by myself in the dark or in the rain or in the snow. Kind of limiting, isn’t it? I just have terrible night vision, and especially with moisture in the air - the glare just freaks me out.

    I saw this book somewhere and thought it looked interesting. Please do give us your review, but don’t spoil the ending. :)

    My dad read this as well and loved it! He found it to be life-changing as well. Maybe someday I will get to that stack of books (this one included) I want to read. ( :

    Warmly,

    Kathryn, thanks for stopping by; glad you liked the book!

    Renae, I promise I won’t spoil!

    Mandi, I think men in general may appreciate this book more than women…

    Jessie, thanks for visiting. How kind of you to note that my blog has a “clean look” instead of “boring!” :-)

    e-Mom, thanks for hosting the book review thing, and getting some of us motivated to read&review!
