Bedside Library

Like every nerdy home-schooler (or most of them anyway), I like to read. I always keep my stack of current books (yes, it is always a stack) by my bed, ready for me to grab whatever suits my fancy. I can never read just one book at a time; sadly, the internet has shortened my attention span, and I end up accumulating an interesting, and somewhat humorous, variety of books on the floor by my bed. I glanced over it the other day, and found that my pile had grown a little larger than usual:

• Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper (we are going through the book and study guide in my Bible study)


• Amplified Bible


• The Dictionary of Wholesome Foods, a passionate A-Z guide to the earth's healthy offerings Various Authors


• Taste and See by John Piper


• Pilates for Core Strength plus two other Pilates books


• Quest for Love by Elisabeth Elliot (anything by her is good)


• Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came To Die by John Piper


• My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers


• Tired of Being Tired by Jesse Lynn Hanley, M.D. and Nancy Deville - this has given me a lot of help in dealing with adrenal fatigue


• Zodhiates Bible (KJV)


• The Best of A.W. Tozer, Book Two


• Tozer on Christian Leadership


• I Dared To Call Him Father by Bilquis Sheikh (very good autobiography)

Then of course, I have my journal and day planner (which I don't use much, as I've shared here).
