Tag, I am it - Ron Clark http://www.kokemushkeivogel.blogspot.com/ tagged me so here goes......
A book that has changed my life besides the Bible: "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis. He gives a good picture of how Satan works on a human being to "undermine faith and prevent the formation of virtues."
A book I have read more than once: "The Stand" by Stephen King. What could happen when the "society" disappears and there is a clear choice between good and evil. (Except really no mention of God.)
A book that made me laugh: A book about pregnancy - my oldest is 18, my youngest is 8 - it has been a long time since I read it and I can't remember the name. And humor about labor is not the best subject in this house. However Bill Cosby's dialogue on his experience is priceless.
A book that made me cry: "Charlotte's Web" - In 2nd grade, I cried when Charlotte died.
A book I wish had been written: A book that says it is okay to say "life sucks" when it truly does. To feel great joy, I think we all need to understand that pain is not always punishment but a consequence. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Notice it says give thanks IN all circumstances, not FOR all circumstances. There is a big difference.
A book I wish had never been written: Any book about assisted or unassisted suicide. Why go to meet God when you are not prepared?
A book I have been meaning to read: "The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis.
A book I am currently reading: "Renovation of the Heart" by Dallas Willard. When I was at Father/Child camp at Camp Yamhill in July, Tom Buchanan recommended this book to me. At the same time, his wife, Karen recommended "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. In one fell swoop, two people used by God turned my spiritual world and my work world upside down.
