What’s bringing you life these days? Carving out more time to read now that the children are in school and my husband on the road, has been life giving for me this month.

For so long, I thought I did not have time to read. And that was partially true. I discovered audiobooks are perfect for walking the dog and driving into town. I find these through my library and Audible. Real books are fabulous at night, and the Kindle App on my IPad helps when I travel.

Being able to find a good book is almost as exciting as meeting a new friend and equally worth the effort. Unlike my mother, I am not opposed to putting something down after a few chapters if the writing does not grab me. Not all books are intended for all readers. I take that as permission to let something go if it is not serving it’s intended purpose. So, I have to make sure I know why I am picking up a book in the first place.

With this in mind, I wanted to share what has been in my spiritual reading stack that I thought you might like.
