Becoming by Michelle Obama
I’ve been wanting to read this book for awhile and finally had the opportunity to start reading it.
From my boyhood days of reading the Encyclopedia Brown series and The Chronicles of Narnia, books have always been a part of my life. They hold the power to stop time as I enter a whole new world.

Liturgy of the Ordinary by Tish Harrison Warren
This month, I really enjoyed Tish Harrison Warren’s Liturgy of the Ordinary.

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
Ernt Allbright returned from the Vietnam War and he had not been the same since.

Educated by Tara Westover
One of my favorite genres is memoir. I had heard about Educated last year when it was named one of the Ten Best Books of 2018 by the New York Times.

Missional Motherhood by Gloria Furman
Sadly, motherhood is no longer a popularly celebrated calling. We do everything that we can to delay it, ignore it, and/or be “limited” by it.
