Most recently, I've read "Crazy Love" (Francis Chan), The Shack (W.M. Paul Young), and most recently I'm borrowing "Blue Like Jazz" (Donald Miller) from a good friend of mine. I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far, but haven't quite made it to the half-way point yet. I feel like I'm reading someone's journal. I read Donald Miller's blog from time to time also. I admire that he blogs every day, and while everything he writes doesn't always interest me, I catch a topic every now and then that I read and gain a little nugget from.
One of my favorite things to do is to sit down with a good cup of coffee and my Dad and discuss things we've been reading and things we feel the Lord has been showing us. It's wonderful. I know everyone doesn't consider themselves to be a reader, but find something that is challenging you..whether it be reading, listening to sermons (Judah Smith is one of my favorites), or simply engaging in a thought provoking conversation with someone that will challenge you to move on to greater depths with the Lord and to love people more.

I am so looking forward to reading "crazy love". Loved the shack and blue like jazz. Both really good books. I think you and I are soo alike because I love sitting with my dad and discussing whatever comes to mind, Life, Love, anything. By the way, I love your sporadic thoughts. HeHe:)
I just started "The Shack" this week. Once I'm done with it I'll have to check out the other books you've mentioned. Thanks for the tip on the books...always looking for good books to read!
