I would like to read The Shack again, someday. Amy, I so much a Twilighter, too! I am finishing Breaking Dawn today. I will probably read those all again, too. I love see all the favorites out there!

I just finished Shepherding a Childs Heart for the second time and love it. Also Calm my anxious heart is another good one I have re-read. The one deb mentioned is one I heard was great from someone else. going to pick it up maybe this week. great post for the newly wanna be a reader again! love you!The Coopershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769987663016907988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671145697491510338.post-32802223022364198402009-03-01T12:08:00.000-08:002009-03-01T12:08:00.000-08:00I will somewhat sheepishly admit that while I do s...I will somewhat sheepishly admit that while I do so love to read, I don't consider myself much of a re-reader. But then again, I guess I do have some old friends that I return to: any of Anne Lamott's non-fiction (over & over), C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces & A Grief Observed, and perhaps my best-y, Pride & Prejudice. And I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't say I have made a new friend which will be an old friend: Twilight. Oh yes, Twilight. (I see that didn't make your pastor/friends' list.)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846694277065759140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671145697491510338.post-76923113600530994882009-02-28T00:27:00.000-08:002009-02-28T00:27:00.000-08:00Jess, You absolutely have to read 'Redeeming Love'...Jess, You absolutely have to read 'Redeeming Love'.

Books are near and dear to my heart, and, you're right: there are some that demand to be returned to for a variety of reasons.<BR/><BR/>I continue to read The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer over and over. It pushes me toward following Jesus like no other.<BR/><BR/>I also love to read Wendell Berry, and his little book on the problem of racism in the South called The Hidden Wound was one I read three times in a short period.<BR/><BR/>Along with those, I love to read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe over and over, and it's great because my boys really like that book right now. We're also reading Stuart Little right now, and despite the fact that I read that as a kid, it's a lot funnier to me as an adult. <BR/><BR/>Others that I've read a couple of times: The Ragamuffin Gospel, Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, Pupose-Driven Life, and an Unstoppable Force.<BR/><BR/>I don't guess I re-read novels very often, but, for some reason, A Time to Kill was one that really affected me the first time I read it. I have re-read sections of it since then, but haven't finished it yet.<BR/><BR/>Oh! One I forgot: Leaving Ruin. Great book.Steve Beznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260563791091215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671145697491510338.post-25767623024448282502009-02-27T11:41:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:41:00.000-08:00I have never read this but I may try it now.

Looks like I've got some reading to do!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368519696382078584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671145697491510338.post-88017417992513775892009-02-27T06:41:00.000-08:002009-02-27T06:41:00.000-08:00Michelle, took my best bff book!

I've already started to read it again and I just finished it. It has been a long time that I've stayed up way too late to read a book and one that made me sob...or should I say allowed me to sob!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105149507274741829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671145697491510338.post-7220460312516117812009-02-26T13:49:00.000-08:002009-02-26T13:49:00.000-08:00No worries on the sig., Michelle.

I probably read it at least once every year or so. <BR/><BR/>Good pick.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865453629622309843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671145697491510338.post-67933968746672521772009-02-25T22:40:00.000-08:002009-02-25T22:40:00.000-08:00I read this too- years ago, & loved it.

It didn't capture the tone that the passage you quoted had. <BR/>You won't be surprised that my 'old friend' book is 'Redeeming Love' by Francine Rivers. I couldn't put it down! I've read it quite a few times, and even though I love it so much, it never captures me the way it did the first time. I remember where I was sitting, reading those words that really changed my life, and my relationship with God. What an amazing journey it was...!<BR/>Great question Amanda- I'm anxious to hear what other people have to say!<BR/>xoxo- mas<BR/>p.s. you're such a great writer- I wish I had your gift!! ;) and your sig. is on the way- sorry it's so late!Coloradosnowbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873961221180202566noreply@blogger.com
