And I don’t read as much fiction, so I appreciate hearing from others who can recommend good novels! Just visited your list and got new ideas. Thanks, Kathy!

I keep hearing about Tripp’s book so I need to move it up on my to-read list. I know Tripp has quite a way with putting profound thoughts into words I can understand. Thanks for the suggestion, Floyd.

I really enjoyed both of those; hope you will, too, Sarah, if you get to read them!

I’ve been reading Tripp’s book given to me by the guy eighteen comments above me! It’s a daily devotional and it is powerful.

Ha! I get that Lisa. For one thing, if you have purchased the book, you hate to waste it by not reading it. Still, you have to weigh your time (and life) against what is not enriching it. Just a thought. 🙂 And we’ll not talk age, huh! Ha again!

(So it looks like my original reply didn’t post, but I apologize if you get this more than once anyway, Lynn!) I appreciate your recommendations! All these books sound very interesting to me so I’ll get the samples sent to my Kindle of each of them.

This is advice I need to take to heart: “I surely have been half-hearted in my approach to some books. Usually, I don’t finish them, because life is short, and there are so many great books yet to read.” I’m not sure why I’m so reluctant to stop a book I’m not enjoying, but I’m getting better at it as I get older too. 🙂

Hope that Kendra enjoys the book! I would definitely recommend it for young mothers especially, but if one can overlook the mothering references, the overall principles are good for any of us who wonder if what we are doing really matters. And we all wonder that from time to time. ha. Hope you’re doing well, Ashley!

Well, I was torn about mentioning the novels because they did have some good things about them, but just weren’t the complete package for me. Hopefully that makes sense. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Lora.
