The last post about books I spoke of the Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman - very good. Encouraging and challenging, as well. Then I did read a book off my shelf by Billy Graham, The Journey. I thought it was more of his story, but instead it went over the fundamentals and foundations of the Christian faith. I did skim through parts of it - the topics I was very familiar with, but it was a reminder of what we as Christians believe and why.
Then, I read another book that has been on my shelf for...well...years, I think, Rumors of Another World by Philip Yancy. I have read several of his other books and this did not disappoint. Although, I will say I thought it was a book about the fundamentals and foundations of the Christian faith (which is why I put off reading it), but surprisingly it wasn't quite written in that way. It was starting to look at things of this world - nature, people, relationship - as a pointer that there is another world for us - heaven. Mr. Yancy also explain church history - all of it was very interesting to me.
Now I am reading a book from the library - Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees - the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. I'm only a few chapters in, but I'm captivated. I love to hear and read people's personal stories - this is going to live up to all the good recommendations I had heard about.
