Non-Fiction:
50 People Every Christian Should Know by Warren Wiersbe.It's very interesting! I'm limiting myself to on person per day, so that I can "digest" instead of "devour" their stories.
I had no idea Martin Luther was even married before I started this book, much less anything about his wife (Katharina "Kitty" von Bora).
Fiction:
The Damascus Way by Janette Oke and Davis Bunn. This is the third book in the Acts of Faith trilogy. If you have not read these, pick them up, I doubt you will be disappointed.This is biblical fiction at its best. The series takes place after the resurrection of Christ. Each book is very rich in history, the characters are well developed and intertwined between the books (so...don't start with #3. Start with #1.)
Prior to beginning this book, I had assumed -based on the title - that this book would be about Saul. So far, however, that is not the case. Actually, I'm enjoying it so much, that I keep putting it down just so it won't end!
Daily Reading:
The Bible. I'm working on reading through the Bible. If you're a eBook user, I've noticed that you can download the ESV & HCSB versions of the Bible to your Kindle, computer, or other reading device. Fo' free!Also, CBD has The Message versions of Psalms and Proverbs available for free right now. I like free...
There are also some free devotional books available to download. I have Morning & Evening (Charles Spurgeon).
Kids:
I don't think I'll list all of the ones we read. I think we have SEVENTEEN children's books checked out at the library right now. Several of those are on their third (and last available) renewal. Most of them, the kids can recite with me. But they love them!
I read pretty quickly, so I have about 9 (fiction) books waiting on me at home and a queue full at the library, just waiting to be activated!
So what are you reading?

The "50 People every Christian should Know" sounds very interesting. I love biographies, but rarely indulge in them. Maybe I will.
I'm currently reading "Calm My Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow and I am beginning a blog Bible study on "40 Days with a Life Coach to Create the Best You." I've never done a Bible study online so I'm curious how that is going to go.
I am reading, and have been for some time now (keep putting it down), "Instructing a Child's Heart" by Tedd Tripp. It's good, really, but it seems to repeat a good bit of the first book "Shepherding a Child's Heart." I did read that one in a normal amount of time! :) It's great for child-rearing.
I just finished "Unveiled" by Francine Rivers. It was great, though not as good as the novellas about Ruth and Bathsheba. I have "Redeeming Love" on hold at the library...hoping it arrives soon.
The trilogy you are reading, do you have it at the office library or did you check it out from the public library?
Sabrina - we now have it in the office, and I bought it for myself. CBD had their "fab friday" special and offered ALL THREE for $15. Couldn't pass it up!
Erica - Those sound intesting as well. I did Beth Moore's Breaking Free online several years ago - and it went well. Hope your's does too!
