Strong Father's, Strong Daughters. I can't remember the author. Every dad should read this, BUT so should every mom. It was wonderful to see just what our daughters need from their daddy's. Moms can be such a help to dads when they know the huge responsibility the dad has. We need to be that support to him. Ok, I will give you one of my fav’s. Strong Father’s, Strong Daughters.

They all have brought me one step closer to understanding who I am in Christ and how I can reflect that to those I influence or encounter. Just a couple of books I have read so far this year... Beth Moore's So Long, Insecurity Mark Batterson's Primal Timothy Keller's The Prodigal God Randy Alcorn's The Grace and Truth Paradox Max Lucado's Fearless I have also just checked out of the library (I read one of her books last year... Be Sweet) Diann Hunt's RV There Yet? A fiction book about women facing midlife recommended by Women of Faith. It is supposed to be funny. I hope so. I really want midlife to be fun. Not that I am in midlife... but I know a lot of people who are... heh heh... cough. I wish I could be more discerning, but all of these books are truly life-changing… or thought-changing.

Book Summary: Multitasking is becoming the norm for many women who consistently find themselves trying to juggle kids, errands, church activities, jobs, and relationships. For women who have become caught up in the hectic pace of everyday life, this book offers help and hope. Based on Jesus' call to "Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," Breathe shares true stories and practical examples of how to find the rest Jesus promised. This engaging read challenges the lie that a mother's value is found in what she does rather than who she is. Calling women away from the hectic life, this book shows the way to a central place of rest ultimately found in one's relationship with God. My recommendation for summer reading is-
