What’s On Your Nightstand? is a monthly meme on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 5 Minutes for Books.
There are several different ways to participate (Click here to learn more about that). I am going to participate each month by sharing what books I have read and written a review for in the last month and what books I would like to read in the next month.
In addition to the following list, I also have a master list of books I have read in 2011 here.
I cannot believe how long it has been since I joining in on this meme…
Books I Have Read since March 23rd:
The Silent Seduction of Self-Talk – I highly recommend this book, but make sure you plan on taking it slowly and enjoying the depth of the topic!
Pearl Girls – I would definitely recommend this book to any Christian woman who wants to be encouraged or read wonderful stories about God’s goodness!
The Power of Words – I found this bible study to be extremely refreshing. Each day is super short, I think I never spent more than 5 minutes reading. However, each day left me pondering and meditating on how I use my mouth.
The Gospel According to LOST – I am sad to say that I am quite disappointed in this book. I felt like the back of the book should be an overview for a different book. A book that had depth and created discussion with the reader.
The Sword – I personally loved this book! I literally could not put this book down. I couldn’t wait to know what was going to happen next.
Sleep, It Does A Family Good – In this book, the author educates the reader on much to do with the topic of sleep. I learned a lot about how sleep benefits our bodies, and also how the lack of sleep harms us greatly. I really did learn!
Becoming a Young Woman Who Pleases God – This is a great book to introduce teen ladies into what it means to be a Godly Woman, and how what she does now impacts her future.
Purity: A Godly Woman’s Adornment – I would highly recommend Purity to any Christian woman, teen and up, who wants to dive deeper into the topic of purity!
Radical – I can honestly say that after reading this book, I know that my life will never be the same!
Life, In Spite of Me – This was a quick read, partly due to shorter more manageable chapters, but mainly due to the story that encompasses each page! A story of hope and life and a future!
Sun Stand Still – Well, when I read Radical last year, it changed my life. Reading Sun Stand Still has had the same effect!
Love & Respect for a Lifetime – This is a very casual book that you can just pick up, read a few pages, and continue later. It also looks beautiful, so it would set nicely on a coffee or end table.
The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment – This book not only reinforced my belief that our faith should impact every aspect of our lives, but it also was very encouraging and practical.
Dancing with the One You Love – This book is truly a great resource on submission, and marriage in general. I would definitely recommend it!
Fearlessly Feminine – I found this book to be so inspirational, and it really helped me to remember the point. The point of me being a woman and embracing my roles, is to live for God and put Him on display!
*I am hoping to start joining in monthly again, that way my posts won’t be so long!!!
Want have you read recently???
