Or check out her website .. google mitford series.. you'll love them . annette..and johnnybigfish, I only partially read The Shack and gave it to my husband to read (in disgust, lol) then I mailed it to a friend of mine that lives in a remote community up north. Later on I saw the author on a christian tv program and once I understood his reasoning behind the book, then I felt convicted for judging him and thought I should give it another go.. it's still sitting on my nightstand awaiting a tackle my biggest issue with it was the way he portrays the Holy Spirit, I was not sure if it bordered on blasphemy or not but I did think it was cool that God likes coffee haha. I know that this is just a work of fiction but it has become very controversial in christian circles. but I see also that it really helps people and that is a good thing!

I'm currently reading "Multiple Bles8ings" its about that family that had 8 babies Jon and Kate. They have a TV show on Discovery called "Jon & Kate plus 8"... its about their life and how they met and the birth of their twins and then the sextuplets that came afterward. They are a Christian family and I wanted to see how they went through those tough times when they realized how many children they had to take care of!!! Very Interesting stuff! (God Will Provide) Here are some of my favorite Christian books though... 1. The Bait of Satan (highly recommended) 2. Journey of the Wild Heart (Not to be confused with Wild at Heart) 3. The Richest Man Who Ever Lived: King Solomon's secrets to Happiness, Wealth and Success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are worth the expense. I have the entire collection almost. These are so entirely homespun without the harlequin romance garbage thrown in.. I love the Mitford series. Its quite a pleasant read. I went out and got the entire series. http://www.mitfordbooks.com/ You can read the first chapters of her books on that site too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently on book#2, "A Light In The Window" from that series; it's my 3rd time through... They are so delightful!!! I bought the first book in the Father Tim series as soon as it came out in paperback that's kind of why I decided to rerun the whole gamut from the beginning... God Bless!

Great book, if you're in a relationship. It takes scripture and 'dares' you to apply it with your significant other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is spiritual fiction. The best part is you can get it free on the net. And since it is short, you can read it in les than an hour. But you will think about it for a lot of days. Everyone of us will relate to it. Don't miss it. Read it and tell me your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
