The older I get the more I appreciate the little things in life....homemade pumpkin spice lattes, warm pjs, and good books! I try as often as I can to read something Christian related since it's so hard to find time to really delve into the Bible (something I desperately need to improve on!). I am currently re-reading The Shack, a book about a man's meeting with God, literally, and recently finished reading The Hiding Place for the third time. I highly recommend both of those books but suggest you have a box of tissues or two near you when reading.
As much as I love these books however, nothing, I mean NOTHING compares to Sheldon Vanauken's A Severe Mercy. This is hands down my favorite book of all time. I've already read it twice and probably will read it many times again as soon as I get it back from the 23421423515 people I've promised to loan it to. I won't spoil it for you and give anything away but I will highly suggest you add it to your winter reading list...puts the Notebook to shame :) If you like C.S. Lewis you will love this book!
Agreed!! Now read Pearl in the Sand haha! Not as genius as severe mercy, easier raed, but completely inspiring! Currently lovin Hiding Place :)
