January Books

I was going to wait until the end of January to share the books I have been reading, but I just couldn't wait. I have a new favourite book. It is called By Searching - My Journey Through Doubt Into Faith, by Isobel Kuhn.

I actually bought this book as a Christmas present for Karli but she was in the middle of another book and said I could read it first. I couldn't put it down.

Isobel Miller grew up in a Christian home but as a young adult she goes through a time of doubting and replaces her faith with worldly pursuits instead. This is an inspiring account of God's faithfulness and mercy as He draws her to Himself. He is so good!

She goes on to marry John Kuhn, serving together as missionaries in China for twenty-six years.

One of my favourite quotes from the book is actually a quote by Hudson Taylor:
"Learn to move man, through God, by prayer alone."

I have it on my fridge as a daily reminder.

I am also working my way through the whole Bible again. There are various views on whether you should count it as one book or many individual ones. I think I will count them individually given that they were written at different times and by different authors (I know God is the ultimate author). What does everyone else think?

This year I hope to read a few daily devotionals as it doesn't take long to read three pages a day. here they are...

Truth for Today - John Macarthur
Daily Readings from the Life of Christ - John Macarthur
My Utmost for His Highest - Oswald Chambers
