Unto the Hills


I can easily see why Unto the Hills by Billy Graham is a classic devotional. The words are timeless and applicable to any day in time. As I read through the book, I could easily tell that this would be one I could enjoy year after year. I love daily devotionals as they easy to read and keep my attention. This one is no different. The thoughts and lessons delivered in the devotions are simple and enduring. It is written in such a loving manner. I really cannot say enough good things about this devotional. I would recommend it to anyone at any stage in their life. It will be applicable.

phew....

that's the sound of me finishing christmas shopping today! yay! christmas really shouldn't be this stressful. i need to spend the next week focusing on the real meaning of christmas and not all this stress. we got lots of travel ahead the next two weeks. but it's nice to spend it with my crazy, silly, wonderful family. we always get good memories at christmas...
like dink catching her hair on fire, or bradley making it known who made the big smell... that's putting it politely :) alayna and laurie fighting over the walking doll. yeah, those memories everybody hopes you don't remember. but those are the best ones.

On This Day in Christian History


On This Day in Christian History by Robert J. Morgan is a fantastic little book that any history buff would love. It enlightened me so much to events in Christian history I had no idea about.

The book is in a daily devotional format but also has a topical index in the back which I found very helpful. Also the format makes it less overwhelming. I would recommend this to anyone interested in figures in Christian history, not only the history of the church. There are so many events detailed in the book that it will inspire any Christian. It will also give you some new heroes to look up to. It is a quick, easy read for every day of the year.
