Some favorite, must-read books

     Since this is a post on books, I thought I'd find a clever quotation about books to start with -- but have you ever tried Googleing "quotations about books"? (Even better is "funny quotes about books.") There were so many, but I actually managed to only choose one.

" Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled 'This could change your life.'" ~Helen Exley

   You can apply that label to the following books. :)

Don't Waste Your Life, by John Piper -- the main point is "live with a passion to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." It was so convicting and thought provoking that I couldn't read it quickly.

The Quest for Love by Elisabeth Elliot -- this book contains true stories about relationships. The stories are widely varied, covering "just friends", dating, and courtship, with an arranged marriage thrown in for good measure. Mingled with the stories are Elisabeth Elliot's wise, honest, (and sometimes humorous) observations.

Out of the Comfort Zone by Ray Comfort -- mostly autobiographical, it is a huge encouragement to anyone who wants to witness, but struggles with witnessing. It describes the beginning of Ray Comfort's ministry in evangelism and The Way of the Master, with plenty of his adventures sprinkled throughout. It's an easy-to-read, funny, and challenging book.

      I could go on, but these are the ones at the top of the list. They're well worth your time!

Yay, I love book recommendations! It's hard to find good books, and recommendations are so helpful for that. That's a fun opening quote, and so true!

About Me

Welcome to my little perch! I'm Kori, an 18 year old homeschool graduate who is the oldest of five kids. I'm an MMK (minister of music's kid), and I'm very thankful for the family the Lord chose for me! A few of my favorite things are reading, writing , playing piano, and working with kids. Right now, I'm pursuing a degree in music using distance education and CollegePlus! The most important thing in my life is my relationship my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this blog, I want to sing His praises and encourage others to praise Him as well. Enjoy the music!

Luke 12:6-7 (KJV)

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
