Thankful Thursday ~ Books

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
~ Psalm 92:1-4 (ESV)

Lori's Book Review

I enjoy reading, I just wish I had more time to do so. My sweet friend Lori has a marvelous list on her review blog (click on the button above to take you there) . She picked 10 books from her vast array of books she has read over the past months. Some of the books I have already read and the rest are on my wish-list 🙂 .

I am thankful for books (especially the Bible); I always learn something. I am also thankful for Lori’s review site, because I know that I can trust her judgment. If fiction or teaching books, Lori always gives a straight forward review. She will let you know if something bothers her about a book 🙂 .

What are you thankful for this week? Head over to my friend Laurie’s site “Women Taking a Stand” to read more TT posts and leave your link.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: Reading is Fundamental.

Laurie Ann, I will be contacting you go get your snail-mail address. As for the mystery gift; I chose a Christmas movie:

Now I hope that the movie is not already in Laurie Ann’s movie library 😛 .

I had mentioned a couple of times the book “3:16” by Max Lucado. As you can see, it vanished from my sidebar. Yeah, I finally finished it (wish I had more time reading). Anyway, hopefully I will be able to write a review on this book this up-coming week. This book stirred up so many thoughts…but more about that later.

Thank you for stopping by today…be blessed today and as always…

Christmas is just around the corner. We, as moms, wives, friends, are ‘hunting’ for the perfect Christmas gift for others. I thought, it would be nice that you would receive something for yourself 😛 …thus this Christmas Giveaway…

If you are an avert reader, you know about Laurel’s monthly column “Book Buzz” at Christian Women Online. This month Laurel had again some marvelous reads, so I asked for her help to pick out two of her favorites — “The Shape of Mercy” and “Out of her Hands” were Laurel’s top two picks for the month of December.

What else is in the December gift package you might wonder? Laurel is adding a CD to the package. The CD is by Bill Gaither; this wonderful compilation album includes hymns like Amazing Grace, Rock of Ages, How Great Thou Art and 9 other well known hymns. The CD is an exclusive only available at Cracker Barrel’s.

The other two gifts are a “Pray like a Girl” tote bag and one ‘mystery’ gift 😉 (its good – trust me)…
