I don’t read very many books more than once. My “to-read” list is way too long to use up time reading a book I’ve already read.

One Thousand Gifts (Review)
As I think back over the years, three books stand out to me as ones that have especially impacted my life.

This Sunday is a real challenge! Besides being ready for church, we also are getting ready for our church’s annual family camp.
