What am I reading

Sort of a what's in your wallet question. lol  I'm reading Michael Beckwith's "Spiritual Liberation". It's a lot to chew on I'll say that. I have a time putting it down.  I've wanted to learn more about what he has to say or what he thinks and this book is it.  I saw and heard him first on the Secret. When he said ...so many things...  "You can begin to think real thoughts" "You can feel love even if noone is loving toward you at the time" and "Greater is the power in you than the power in the world"! There was a time I wouldn't read or even want to know about people that write books on spiritual things unless it came from a small circle of  religious organizations that I knew...very exclusive.  Anyway this is what I'm reading now and I'm very happy, my dear husband of 23yrs was very thoughtful to get it for me.  I'm very thankful for this book and for my husband and our family.

Three Yrs.!

,So glad to get back to blog about all I've read and hope to read...
Let me slow down a bit here and start with one book at a time.

My most favorite book and truest companion for the past three yr. has been " The Science of Success"  Three books in one "The Science of Getting Rich" The Science of Being Well" and "The Science of  Being Great"  This book helps give me a perspective on my mental state.  You can not read this book and not come away with the right thinking...i love the fact that all that I know of God is true to his charecter in the pages of this book...no suffering way here...Jesus paid it all so we don't have to!  Not that we won't have obstacles and challenges just how you look/think about them.  No woe is me...martarism, because that's what I needed to get away from to achieve the success/peace/happyness. Treat your mind read this book!

Three children's books I'd love to have again

I was discussing with my dds 15, 13, what 3 books they'd love to have from their childhood?

My over all favorite to read to them.  Were Monster Mama, Cocoa Ice, The Rain. The Rain being #1 because it's a picture book that's as real of childhood play and the comforts of home as you could convey without words!


*dd 15 were Monster Momma, Cocoa Ice, The Little Princess also a favorite Shirley Temple movie.

*dd 13 Upside down Cake, ZOOM and a Spaghetti Story about 2 children making dinner for their parents, which we never actually found again or know the exact title!

The Holy Bible

****************************************

By far the best book ever! All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. I Tim.3:16. These are the bibles we use and the other resources we use to add to our learning. I refer and speak the scripture to my children from the King James version and our children read from the same KJV, I love to read them this one at night though because I feel like I'm giving them an appitizer into the bible
I decided to tailor our reading and use these bibles to help with the phonic as well as other english lessons The same folks put out a prayer book too.

For the summer I'll be reading from The Bible Story Books for our Discussions, spelling, dictation and other Lang. related things for their language books. I saw a whole set of these at our thrift store once, we've really enjoyed them over the years.

What Are You So Grumpy About?

What Are You So Grumpy About? Is about this little boy who is mad about something, and it gives all the reasons you can be mad, while making it funny and entertaining. These books remind me alot of the No David books, which I'll talk about later. This book made me crack up when I was little and I give it 5 out of five stars, esspecially for good illustrations too. It now also reminds me of my angery little brother, but if I could get him this book I would. I think it has suggestions for cooling down.
