In reply to bekahcubed. I wonder how similar the two books are also. I assume they have much in common. I'd also like to read When Helping Hurts. I'm sure you're still reading more than you know, just different kinds of books. :) I still have lots of books for toddlers on my shelves that bring back such good memories of times reading with my daughters.

Toxic Charity sounds interesting to me. I have When Helping Hurts on my bookshelf, waiting to read someday - I wonder how similar or different the two titles are. Of course, I haven't had a whole lot of time for reading lately, so I'm not sure when I'll get to either.

In reply to Jean Wise. Thanks for sharing another Enneagram title, Jean! I hadn't heard of that one. Just got the sample sent to my Kindle. :)

In reply to ~ linda. We always manage to come up with ways to do bad things. :( Sigh. That is sad to hear about the immigrants. I have a friend that I've been very concerned about since she came to America last year. So far she is surviving okay but I don't know what the future will hold for her in the coming months. I love your tender heart, Linda. Thanks for your sensitivity to the plight of others who aren't as privileged as we are.

In reply to floyd. Three books last month? That's some serious reading, Floyd. But I'm sorry to hear about your health stuff! Not a fun way to be forced into reading. :( Praying you're recovering well.

I think my favorite on this list is Becoming Wise.

Have a new enneagram book that my spiritual director recommended. Just arrived and looks like a wonderful reference, full of great info: The Complete Enneagram. by Beatrice Chestnut. Knew when I saw it that I had to share it with you.

Happy Weekend!

In reply to Beverley. The problem with free-falling books, is that they tend to fall on me and bury me :D

In reply to LisaNotes. Lisa, I totally agree with you on the things learned in this book...rugged, mind-boggling, and distressing. We truly do need to be aware. I just read in the news this very day that we have another form of slavery happening now with illegal immigrants. They are forced to live in squalid conditions due to their illegal status and the fears that go with that. They are also being forced to work long hours, get into debt with the owners of where they work, and then are enslaved. The areas of this are tending to be restaurants, agriculture, and a few other types of work. I am sad all over again. Just like Slavery by Another Name but this very day!

Those sound like great books. There’s a couple I want to check out.

I’ll never catch you, but I did read three books in the last month! Mostly Grisham stuff.

Too bad it took a back surgery and epidural abscess to slow me down…
