Oct. 24, 2008 - Friday Show & Tell -- Great books to read!
I am reading a couple of fantastic books right now! I just had to share them with you gals because they have been such insightful, refreshing books.
The first one is Lessons from a Venetian Vinedresser. I have always loved reading John 15 where it talks about Jesus being the vine. This book helps you to better understand the word-pictures Jesus was painting with His illustration of the vine. Very insightful book!
The other book is The Power of Femininity. I got this book for a quarter at the library's annual sale. I must say this is the best quarter I have ever spent! It is so rich and informative that I am highlighting things on every single page. Though I have read several books on the differences between men and women, this book is really eye-opening! She goes back to the Garden of Eden and sheds some insightful light on what really happened that day. I highly recommend this book. It really is a must-read! I'm seeing things about myself that I didn't realize, and now the Vinedresser can prune those things so that I can bear more fruit. 
Normally, when I am done reading a book, I get rid of it because our home just isn't large enough to keep all of the books I read. However, I plan to keep both of these books because they are just fantastic! If you click on the pictures of the books, it will take you to a website where you can find the best deals on the books. 
A side note here: I discovered yesterday evening that the ps are out today, so dd and I are taking the day off too. (Doing the happy dance here!) 
It's been a very rough couple of weeks with hs'ing so BOTH of us could use the break.
I've been on a big decluttering and cleaning kick too, so if I still have any energy left tomorrow, perhaps I can tackle even more. (Mary, I'll be posting next week about what I accomplished today.)

I may have to look into that one.
It reminds me of the Philip Keller books, a Shepherd looks at the 23rd Psalm ect.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie

Since I love books, I know what you mean about keeping them and the balance of having enough room. Have a great weekend.

One never knows the treasures that lie in the cast-off library books! Although I'm more a fiction reader than non-fiction, I have come across some great deals that have been "just for me."

Those books sound really interesting. I am the same way about books around our house. It is easy to go to many!
