Recommended books? Book swap?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has any books they recommend? I would like to get a couple for the post op week. I'm not a big reader but I'd like to read a couple of Christian books along with my bible during the time I can't do much else. What do y'all think about swapping books? Like once we're done, either mail it back to the owner or send it on to the next person in need of one? What's y'alls thoughts on that and any recommended books? Our church has a small library so I might can find some there.

Pray for all of you!

Have you tried paperbackswap.com? It's cheap to mail books around via media mail. I've got so many books sitting on my "to be read" stack it's insane.

Have you read Jan Karon's Mitford series? They are sort of cozy mysteries.

If you've never read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis, that's a great one, and it's small. A Royal Waste of Time by Marva J. Dawn is another good one...it's written as distinct essays, so you can read just a few pages and get a complete thought.

I've been reading the Sisterchicks series by Robin Jones Gunn. There are 6 in the series and they are a lot of fun as well as inspirational.

I just finished reading a wonderful book titled: Same Kind Difference of Me, by Ron Hall. A beautiful true story of a wealthy Christian woman meeting a homeless man while volunteering at the Gospel Mission in Fort Worth. The homeless man becomes friends with she and her husband. Has a sad ending but such a wonderful story about their faith in Our Lord. Highly recommenced. I could not put it down and read it in one day.

Greetings all;

I'm replying to this older post because, as an avid reader, I want to see it continue!

I wholeheartedly second the vote for the Mitford series by Jan Karon. I read me whole collection at least twice a year. The perfect thing for recovery. I want to live in Mitford!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
