This is a list of books that I plan (and hope) to read in the future. This differs from the ‘Waiting To Be Read’ section as I haven’t even picked most of these books up yet. These are not in any order.
One of my goals is to read the top 100 books of all time. You will notice that I have barely scratched the surface in this endeavor.
Please feel free to make suggestions of books that you either would like to be reviewed or you think I should read.

recommend: The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck
also: the book by the Touy family of the “Blind Side” fame.
It’s about -Giving as a way of life, or something along those
lines, cannot remember title…passed it on to Helen Tipton.
Interesting, they had lived their life like depicted in the movie and that young man was not the first to stay with them. It was wonderful to see the way they had taught their children from an early age to contribute to the church with any of their
paychecks etc…and just to be available to help others at all times, and you wouldn’t have time to be bored, the Lord would provide people in your life to teach you something and
show you his love.
