May Books

This month I read 3 books and they were all religion based.  I think with the end of the school year on the horizon I needed a little grace :)


This book was about loving all people, even when it is difficult.  The author is a great storyteller and shared his own life lessons throughout the book.  At one point he talked about resisting the bait to trade kindness for rightness.  I needed the reminder of the important difference between being kind and being right.  


I have read all of Candace Cameron Bure's books and enjoy her writing style.  This book is about staying kind and gracious in all moments of life.  In one chapter she talked about self-control and how we all have it, but it is our job to actually use it.  This is one of the things I am working on this summer.



This book was about pursuing your passions while loving your family.  I could relate to her stories of sacrifice when feeling torn between her career dreams and family life.  I always find comfort when I hear stories similar to my own and was reminded that we are all doing our best and that we all have our own version of "normal".
