Lately I can't seem to get enough of Max Lucado's books. I buy them as fast as I can find them (I've picked up so many recently that I had to sit down and make a list of which ones I had because I'd lost track of them). Something in the way he writes speaks to me on a very personal level. I'm finding that I'm discovering more about myself and my faith through reading his books. The way he presents his material is very simple to follow and just makes so much sense! I have so many "A-ha!" moments when I sit down with one his books. So far, I've finished "Every Day Deserves a Chance" and I'm currently reading "Cure For The Common Life". I started reading "3:16 The Numbers of Hope" one night but put it aside when I realized I was going to need a notebook and pen to keep track of all of the insights that were coming to me while reading it (I was relaxing in the tub with it at the time, and notebooks and pens and water don't mix very well).
I also really enjoy his devotional books. I have "Grace For The Moment" and am looking for "Grace For The Moment II". I really like his online devotions too. They only come once a week, so my email inbox is not being overwhelmed with new messages every day. I really like getting that little "boost" to get my week started off on the right note.
TTFN!

just read your full profile. seriously, the Russian series?!! one of my faves too. i remember getting the first one as a gift from somewhere years ago, and just kept on waiting for them to come out. it's on my re-read list for when they get unpacked.
i'm ok with Lucado, but Phillip Yancey is my first choice for that genre of reading - just a tidbit for you to tuck away for when you're done with all of Lucado's stuff (which could take years since he has so much out!!)
I haven't read Lucado yet. What book do you suggest starting with? I have so many books to read and I'm slower than a snail crawls so I have to be choosey. I loved scrapbook site. We have a lot in common.
Thanks for visiting! And Kristi, YOU'RE the one that got me hooked on The Russians! There was one time we were in Winnipeg at Christmas, and "The Crown and the Crucible" was sitting in the back window of the car when were we were going someplace with you guys. I was looking at it and I remember asking you all kinds of questions about it. When I found it on sale at Blessings here, I bought it for myself, and then everytime I got a coupon from Blessings I'd buy the next book.
