These are the books that sit on my bedside table. My sweetie said I can't buy anymore books from the church's book table until I finish reading the ones I have. Problem is, I'm no bookworm. I didn't enjoy reading when I was younger, and now that there's a desire, I have no time. Go figure.

I just started reading Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris. Although the book is targeted toward teens, the message is not lost on adults. Here's how the authors introduce the idea and message.



I can't go back and change my mis-spent teenage and young adult years, but I can teach my children and the kids around me that God and I expect more than what the world expects. And we can do it together. So, it doesn't matter if you have the teen years still ahead of you or if your head hurts thinking back that far, it's never too late to do hard things for the cause of Christ and glory of God.

4 Shout Outs:

Sounds like an interesting book...maybe I should check it out!

Do you ever walk by and accidentally knock your pile off the bedside table? That's what happens to me at least once a week. We own nearly all the same books--imagine that.

@ Jennifer: I definitely recommend this, especially for parents that have kids on the brink of their teenage years.

@ Lisa: My table is in a corner, so I don't walk by it. I have no doubt that I (or my children) would knock them over at least once a day if we could. However, it is a pain when dusting-having to move the pile. :)
