Well, it was better then last month but still not want I wanted it to be. Probably won't make my goal of 100 books a month this year....


21 - The Power of a Praying Wife by  Stormie Omartian - 4

I read the whole book in about 2 days. I have yet to pray about any of the categories though. I think I'll go back through it and take one a week and pray on the topic.

22 - The Idiot's Guide to Yoga -4

Informative, but a bit too much information for me. I don't really care much about all the reasons behind yoga and the mystic beliefs. But it was good to read about balancing poses with their opposites for complete stretching and all that.

24- The Unforgiving Minute by Craig Mullaney - 5

Excellent book about a boy who goes to West Point and eventually leads a platoon in Afghanistan. It chronicled his beginning in military school and the experiences he had, then about him going to war. He wrote honestly and openly about his fears, struggles and failures.

25 - Tortured For Christ by Richard Wurmbrand

By the guy who started Voice of the Martyrs and his experience with prison and torture. A very sad and informative book. There were a couple things he said that I thought was a bit judgemental about what people in churches are currently doing - even though most of it is probably true more often then not. Really makes me sad that the world feels so threatened by the truth that it persecutes and harms those that love them the most!

26 - The True Woman by Susan Hunt - 4

Great book! I wish she had gone into more detail in certain sections. I really liked how she provided real life and Biblical examples of how woman should look...ways we should be different from the current mindset of what women should be like. She quoted a lot from the Puritan book Female Piety by John Angell James. I have that book and have yet to make it all the way through...but it's now on my list of one's to start!

Well, that's all for now. Hope all is well in your homes!
