A Good Book

Finding time to read can be difficult in life. After all, there are the daily chores of keeping house, cooking, tending the garden, raising kids, schooling, etc. But I do believe it is important. Though I found myself in a habit of not making time for it. My husband inspired us all with the idea of reading just 10 pages a day gets you through even a 300 page book in just a month!

I've kept that in mind, but haven't always been successful everyday. But it has definitely inspired me to make reading more of a priority again. It is so exciting to see that mountain of books-to-be-read beside my bed get smaller and smaller.

Here's what I've scratched off since June:

Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Radical by David Platt
The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis


I'm currently reading:

The Soapmaker's Companion by Susan Miller Cavitch
Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder :)

I need to get back to and finish:

You Can Farm by Joel Salatin
Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul Tripp

A few waiting in line next to my bed:

Big God by Britt Merrick
The Basket of Flowers by Christoph Von Schmid
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
L'Abri by Edith Schaeffer
How Should We Then Live by Francis Schaeffer

Favorite references and glancers:

The Chicken Health Handbook
Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens
The New Goat Handbook
The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer
Beekeeping for Dummies

Of course, other books will pop up that will cut in line straight to the top. And there are always tons of magazines to keep up on. Right now, I have browsers and study books for seed saving and food storage. Can never have enough farming and homesteading books to peruse. So what are you reading?! It feels great to keep the mind in shape. There is so much out there to learn!

P.S. I know there is a fancy way to get the picture of the books listed beside the title, but I just don't know how and don't feel like spending the time on it right now. If you know how to do that, please pass those tips along this way!
