Feed the need…..to Read!
August 22nd, 2007
Eugene Peterson has said that being a well read person is as important to your spiritual formation as is, silence, solitude, prayer or any other spiritual discipline. It is a way of letting words shape you, allowing yourself to here the rhythm and cadence of language so that the poetry of scripture can slide smoothly into your soul.
So I have been out and about and found a few good books that I will be reading over the next few months. I want to thank Randi at Let’s just say… for a great beginning. I am pushing past the bounds of just homeschooling “fair” and letting words shape me. I will keep adding to this list as I progress. Let me know some of your faves. I wonder were it will take me? Look around and see if you find something that interests you. This is part of my “soul craft” so come learn with me.

It took me a bit to get into Kite Runner, but it became my favorite story for me. Be warned if you don’t like tragedy. I found myself sobbing on a public park bench while my children play on monkey bars sobbing uncontrolably and also unable to put it down…

Ugh - great, like “Where the Red Fern Grows” when I was in 7th grade. Best and saddest book I ever have read:-(
Kit Runner is next. I want to have it done before the movie in November.
