As of late I have been enjoying reading again! The busyness of the summer and life has kept me from reading like I want to but nonetheless I am attempting to plod through a few books. I updated my currently reading and have read lists at the bottom. I mixed a few fiction books into the mix back in May. I finished Gospel Powered Parenting last week and it was one of the best reads on parenting I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge to keep the gospel in the center of my parenting. It has caused me to think deeper and harder about the gospel and how it intersects with my life and Kyla's life at every moment. How does the cross speak to her unkindness, what does the gospel say to me about my laziness. One of my top parenting picks, hands down! One side-note: it is written and geared toward fathers as spiritual leaders but we moms have something to glean out of it as well.
A friend loaned me The Joy of the Word Filled Family a few weeks ago and I have enjoyed reading a chapter or so a day (it is a pretty thick book and could be intimidating). It has encouraged and exhorted me to be Godly and Word filled so that my family too may be filled with God's word! I am also reading How People Change to become better equipped so that I can grow in godliness and point others toward that path also! I will keep you posted on how they both end up!
A few on my next up list are:
(we are going to be taking a few couples through pre-marital counseling with this book)

I've heard that When People are Big and God is Small is a very, very good book. I've got that on my list as well!
