Author: Mark Batterson Publishing Date: 2008 Publisher: Multnomah Pages: Kindle (192) This is a book that makes you think you can do anything. Loved it!

Here are some of my favorite stories: The Christmas Song – No one thought about it at the time, but Nat King Cole’s cut of Mel Torme’s (author) song became [...]
Stupid Christmas

Author: Leland Gregory Publishing Date: 2010 Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing Pages: 240 Lots of little stories about stupid things that have happened during Christmas. Most involve some crime or goofed up Santa. I wouldn’t pay for it, but it has some entertainment value when you have a couple minutes to read one or two stories. [...]

Author: Jules Verne Publishing Date: Original 1869 Publisher: Pages: 420 Good read. I’ve got to watch the Disney movie now. Gets a little scientific, but not enough to spoil the drama and story line.
A Christmas Carol

Author: Charles Dickens Publishing Date: Original 1843 Publisher: Pages: 110 I’ve seen many TV & movies about the book, and finally read it. Great! Couldn’t help compare with the media, but it was an enjoyable read. Not a long read, but had some events not depicted in movies (that I can remember).

Author: Washington Irving Publishing Date: Original 1820 Publisher: Pages: 108 Got this to read for Halloween. It was fun! Nice little book. Not as scary as today’s horror books/movies, but sounds like one of those ‘ghost stories’ my grandpa used to tell us.

It takes time to work through the process of discovering why God has you here on earth. Many of the modules I had never considered (such as turning points [...]
