One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven by Mark Cahill

I often evaluate a book's quality on whether I want to read it again. This book I finished and immediately planned to reread it. Cahill is passionate about sharing Jesus with others. I'm a wimp when it comes to opening up my mouth and witnessing for Christ, but Cahill didn't make me feel guilty, just inspired. He shares so many practical ideas on how to get conversations started and answer common questions.The book isn't long, but it is full of information and will be pulled off my shelf again. I think every Christian would benefit from reading this book.

The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard by Kara Tippetts

Kara wrote this book when she was dying from breast cancer. As a mom with young children, she writes about the challenge of facing death and leaving her family. The book is a tear-jerker, but I didn't find it morbid or depressing. Instead, Kara reminded me that the God that gives grace to die of old age is with us when we face death by cancer as a young mom. My faith was bolstered by Kara's testimony. I read my sister-in-law's copy of The Hardest Peace but when I finished it I immediately bought my own copy. 

I'd Rather Be Reading: The Delights and Dilemmas of the Reading Life by Anne Bogel

I slipped this little book in my purse last month when Ed had a number of stressful tests at the hospital. It was the perfect fun read in the waiting room. Anne shares her love of books and infatuation with reading that has led to the popularity of her podcast What Should I Read Next. If you love books and want some light reading, this book is a joy.
