“Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.” —Jean Rhys
Looking for book ideas for the new month? I’ve got you covered heading into spring! As promised, there’s adult recommendations as well as children’s picture books. Head over to your local library and put these on hold now!
What I’m reading this month…
Ten Words to Live By by Jen Wilkin
*This is definitely a book worth owning and reading every few years.
The Spiritually Vibrant Home: The Power of Messy Prayers, Loud Tables, and Open Doors by Don Everts
*This is another resource for families that you’ll want to own and have on your bookshelf.
Embrace Your Life: How to Find Joy When the Life You Have is Not the Life You Hope For by Elizabeth Woodson
