Well, around here I am not a fan of snow, but if we have to have snow...what better activity than reading a book?! Books we recommend for the next "Snow Day."
Her Mother's Hope by Francine Rivers (For the Fiction Lover)

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver:
(For a Woman who loves to learn!)
An invitation for every woman who feels she isn't godly enough...isn't loving enough...isn't doing
enough. The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord's feet...but the daily demands of a busy world just won't leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him...yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy.Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life-and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part"-a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "kitchen service" for him.How can you make that choice? With her fresh approach to the familiar Bible story and its creative, practical strategies, Joanna shows how all of us-Marys and Marthas alike-can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.

Gunners Run by Rick Barry: (For the Guy in your life)

But when he finds himself running for his life across Nazi Germany, Jim discovers that to survive, he will have to trust the God he once rejected. Full of excitement, danger, and realistic details about World War II Europe, Gunners Run is sure to captivate young and old alike.

"Once upon a mountaintop, three little trees . . . dreamed of what they wanted to become when they grew up." One wants to be a treasure chest, another an ocean-going boat, and the third a signpost to God. Their wishes come true in a way they never expected. This delightful storybook features simple text and beautiful full-spread paintings.
