Book Tagging. Laura caught me..


How many books do you own?

Not that much, i wasn't much of a reader when i was younger, totally hated it. But since like 5th year, anbout 3 years ago, Laura got me back into reading.

There however, is, a lot of books on my bookshelf, but i think most of them are the broons or oor willie, haha!


What was the last book you read?

The last book i read was Velvet Elvis, which i think was totally amazing. Might go out and get my own copy :)


What book are you presently reading?

I am reading Seasons 'a womens call to ministry' by Johann Shade. She's a salvation Army In the USA. I only started reading it today, but so far its really good. Its about how women serving in the salvation army ministry face distinctive challenges throughout the changing 'seasons' of their lives as their personal and family circumstances intertwine with their work as officers. The book explorers these issues and provides theological and practical support through biblical character studies and wisdom gleaned from the author's nearly thirty years of officership.


5 books that mean a lot to me are...


1. Girl Goddess #9 By Francesca Lia Block. Because, i think it was the Book laura gave me that got me reading again, and she let me share two of those stories with her.

2. Echo By Francesca Lia Block. Some parts of it make me think of my dad!

3. The Bible :)

4. A walk to remember - Nicholas Sparks....it's a beautiful story! Films good too :)

5. P.S i love you - Cecila Ahern. Really goood book. Might read it again after i've finished reading seasons!

seasons

I feel like i've been up for hours. I was in town for 8ish this morning, and went to symposiums for my usual coffee, before i got the half 8 bus to college.
I was reading the book my sister and brother in law got me for my birthday, and it is actually quite good, well the few pages i have read so far. It's called seasons, 'a womens call to ministry"..it's about being a officer in the salvation army, and different things that challenge you day to day, certain things that you battle with when the call comes around.
The one line that stuck in my head though is, "you have to be prepared to bleed"

This book looks like it may be very helpful in my journey, and with my call to officership, whenever i end up at training college.
