BG45 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Mark of Calth (416 pages) edited by Laurie Golding Unplanned by Abby Johnson (288 pages). Not my first time reading Unplanned, but it's always such an amazing story of God's grace that I keep going back to it. Abby Johnson was a clinic director for Planned Parenthood, who started there with the belief she was helping women and helping make abortion rare; however, after eight years with them, she had to help with an ultrasound guided abortion. That was when God used that horrifying event to help heal the wounds of her own two abortions, a previous failed marriage, and the collapse of her life around her (except for her husband) as she found herself being sued by her former employers.

Comingback Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My St. Thomas got here today!!!!!!!!!!!!! I came home from work sick and the book was in the mailbox. Thank you Fairhope Books for actually getting it to me. I have finished, Thomas Aquinas, Theologian by Thomas O'Meara. I had designated it as my challenge book. It has 302 pages. I have read The Book Thief, 578 pages and The Kitchen Madonna, by Rumer Godden, 103 pages. I found the Kitchen Madonna on the shelf at the library with Brede, even though it is a children's book. It is a very sweet book and would be a good read for folks who like icons. So...St. Thomas Aquinas, Shorter Summa, is my next and most likely last challenge book. I have read about 15 pages so far and am Googling for the philosophical terms, but am understanding it, mostly. I am doing much better that when I read O'Meara's book and he was summing up the whole ST in 150 pages. Yea St. Thomas. In our used bookstore, I found a study edition of The Interior Castle. for $2.00. May start it or just focus on St. Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysophylax Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Congrats, Chrys! Was it your first time taking the test? I am so glad!! Congratulations! That you could pass in that kind of weather means you are a super driver. Thanks! I'm very happy! Yes it was my first time taking the test, and I was pretty nervous about it. And I had no idea it would be so short! I think it literally took about 7 minutes. I owe my dad a huge thanks for teaching me how to parallel park and do the 90 degree back-up this last weekend. Those parts went perfectly on the test. The only thing the instructor said was that I was actually going a bit to fast given the weather (cold and snowy). .... Anyway, YEAH! And thanks so much for the prayers again! :) Oh, and here is a book that I forgot to report the other day: (Or, I thought I didn't report it. If I did, you don't need to add it again because I only read it once!) Fall of a Kingdom by Hilari Bell 422 pgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I just read A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was 294 pages. It was one of my favorite books as a little girl, so when I went to the bookstore yesterday (because my mom suggested that (since I've not been having a very good week at all) I read Dr. Seuss or something, which can't be found in the school library to my knowledge) I couldn't resist buying it and The Secret Garden. The Secret Garden is up next, and I should finish it before this long weekend is out.... Depending on how much I do important things like buying groceries, cooking, cleaning, and homework. I was up until 2:30 last night though because of a combination of reading and laundry I couldn't put off any longer. (By the way, don't pour undiluted bleach on blood stains. Use hydrogen peroxide. Bleach just fades everything.... But if I was feeling artistic I might try to bleach my sheets more and see if I could make them look aw.esome. (What can I say. I forgot how I normally deal with stains.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
