Summer Book Wishlist

You know we love books at the Martin house! It's always fun to look back in the school year at the books we've read. It seems though that, by summer, I'm ready to read some books that are actually just for me, so here I'll list some books I'm looking forward to reading this summer:

First, I need to finish reading-- The Good and Beautiful God by Jim Smith, the Chaplain at Friends.

I also want to finish-- Heaven by Randy Alcorn--like I said, it's a BIG book and I can only digest it in bits and pieces.

Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens ...because my 12 year old already acts like a teen.

The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith ...I've read from several trusted friends/acquaintances that this is good.

The Noticer: Sometimes All a Person Needs is a Little Perspective ...I enjoy fiction that inspires me to something more and I don't know where I heard about this one, but I remember it was good.

Sarah Palin: Going Rogue ...because I'm intrigued and want to know what this woman is really like, and my mom gave it to me, so I already have it!

I'm going to re-read parts of: The Power of a Praying Parent
