I know that I have not been very present here in the blogging world...for my faithful few, I'm OK...no worries. Up until I finished this book today there really was little to blog about. I know a lot of you out there are avid readers so I couldn't go away for the weekend before I shared this book with you. At the top the the book it reads, "Where tragedy confronts Eternity". I must say that this drew me in...I find myself at times really struggling with the why's of my life...worrying way to much about something I have no control over. I found this book has really challenged me to let go of my old perceptions of what a relationship with God is or should be. I've had to search within myself to start the process of letting go all that is holding me back from truly allowing God to not just be a character in my life but to be my life. I have a long ways to go to be sure...but it's a start and I am grateful for this catalyst. Defiantly read it...and then let me know what you think. To be honest it's one of those books you almost have to read two maybe even three times to grasp all that it is trying to say and I hope to do that!!

Looks like a good one Amy! But when do you find the time to read? So many books so little time, but this certainly looks like one that would be worth taking the time for....Thanks for sharing, and have a great week and end :)
Ah, thanks for the book review! Sounds like a really good one. I'll place it on my LIST! :) We just got back from a marriage conference (was AWESOME) and got some books there... now, when do I find the time to read? THANKS AGAIN, I value your insight!
Hey amy sounds like a really good one! one of my classes has had a couple of really good books thats have done the same: totally opened my eyes to what I need to be doing with my life! So I'm excited to read this one when I get a chance :) Have fun at state! at least thats what it sounds like where you'll be! love you all! cya in a few weeks! (when I'm done with finals!! :) keep me in your prayers~
Thanks Amy for sharing, I can't wait to read it:)love you, guela vd
Never heard of it ... but since I try to average a book a week (while ignoring my kids as much as possible), I'm putting it on the list. ;)
amy dear-
don't you love it when a book does that???? i'll add it to the 'to-read list'. rye has a buisness trip in Vegas in a few weeks and i'm tagging along. between the pool, shopping and the spa, i hope to get some reading done. really, i am! :) thanks for sharing! have you lent your copy out? if not, i'd love to borrow it. hope you're having a great week-end. we've got the games on now. GO LYNCS!!! :)
