    the best book I read in 2018

    Out of the books I read in 2018, my book of the year comes from the reading I did for my particular vocation* as a writer. But since all of us write something occasionally (for our jobs or in our relationships), and since all of us could use help discerning good writing from poor writing,…

  • the best books I read in 2018, part 1

    Happy New Year! And what a better way to begin the new year than talking about books, my favorite inanimate things. A side note to young parents: The age of one’s children and the amount of reading one does must have a direct relationship. I had some very lean reading years. But my kids are…

    SPIRITUAL FORMATION // NEW AUTHOR // EUGENE // ENNEAGRAM   Happy year’s end! It is time for my annual book reviews posts. This year I read a lot, at least for my still-have-young-kids-who-interrupt-me-practically-every-forty-seven-seconds self. So, I’ll give you my full list and give each a 0-5* rating, but I’m only going to comment on the…

    Mother-Son Book Race 2017

    One of my sons and I are having a 2017 book race: We’re competing to see who can read the most chapter books this year. We’re making a stack on the fireplace mantle in our living room of the books we read (using some stand-ins for the library books) and then at Christmastime we plan…

  • Repenting of Religion (by Gregory A. Boyd)

    Repenting of Religion (by Gregory A. Boyd)

    a premature book recommendation I usually don’t write [at least directly] about the books I’m reading until my end-of-year book reviews posts.
