My husband truly loves me:) For my birthday he gave me a $150.00 gift card for Barnes and Noble. Yes, I could take the time and use it online and have the books sent to my rural home, but doing that negates the whole B&N experience. So this past Saturday we made the 90-mile drive to B&N, walked in the door, and promptly ordered our caramel fraps. Then, with suitable coffee in hand, I headed straight to my favorite section...theology. I firmly intended on just purchasing one book, but as with any bibliophile, that was clearly not an option. I keep a running list of books that I want to read/purchase, and fortunately (or not:) I was able to find each of those books.
For those interested, here are the books that I purchased...
>The Great Divorce - C.S. Lewis...(This is actually a repurchase. I keep buying this book and then giving it to people to read cuz I just love it:)
>The Jesus I Never Knew - Phillip Yancey
>Reimagining Church - Frank Viola
>Something Beautiful - Leonard Sweet
Well, there they are. I am two chapters into Reimagining Church and one chapter into Yancey's book.
And for those who think that I have a one-track mind, Auntie Mame: An Irreverent Escapade is also on my list of books to read. The movie version (w/Rosalind Russell as AM), is one of my all-time favorites.
They sound good, especially the Phil Yancey book. Glad you had fun in the 'burbs. :)
