I was reading her suggestions of what to do in Atlanta over the holiday week and discovered these great interactive books. As soon as I can get my family to go with me, I’m grabbing the Oakland Cemetery Clue Town Book and heading over there to experience this Clue Town concept. … Read More »
So far, my friend Pamela is batting 1000 with book recommendations, so I don’t know why it took me so long to pick this book up and read it. I bought it last spring when she told me about it, but didn’t start ’til earlier this week. I’m not finished yet but am fascinated by it. … Read More »
I told someone this week that I’ve been addicted to Andy Stanley podcasts lately. I literally listened to his 4 part series “The Bible for Grown-Ups” in one afternoon. Now I’ve moved on to reading his latest book: Irresistible: Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World.
