Friday's Five Favorites

Inspired by a fellow blogger and friend I am going to try to do a list on Friday's of five of my favorite things. This week I am going to start simple and go with books (which will be EXTREMELY difficult for me as I LOVE to read and have probably devoured over 1,000 easily in my life time).

5. Captivating by John & Staci Eldredge. This book has been incredible in helping me find out my purpose as a woman and about how God sees me.

4. The Chronicles of Narnia Series by C.S. Lewis. I know this is a series but it is so good. 

3. The Bible. I know this is cliche. However, it really is more than just a book. It's like a road map and a guide on how to live and how to love.

2. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I've read this book through only a total of two times so far BUT each time I have learned something new and different about myself. It is also a wonderful reminder of how much God loves and and how he would do anything, ANYTHING to reach us and bring us back to hime. 

1. Marta's Legacy Series (Her Mother's Hope and Her Daughter's Dream) by Francine Rivers. This series I have read through a few times. It is is about 4 generations of women and their lives. I see myself in each of these women in different ways. Just seeing how they relate to each other and how things turn out is amazing. 

If you are looking for a good summer read consider any of these options. I highly recommend all of them as excellent reads!
