It's been so long since I've done a meme, but when Alana tagged me, I couldn't refuse. After all, it IS about books...one of the loves of my life!
BOOKS THAT HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE:
~Just Give Me Jesus by Anne Graham Lotz...a study of John. This woman can teach the Word! She's honest, thought-provoking, and obviously desperately in love with Jesus.
~A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. If you haven't read it, find it.
~Shopping for Time: How To Do It All and Not Be Overwhelmed by Carolyn Mahaney. Now I'm a member of the 5:30 a.m. club...definitely the most life-changing thing I've done in a VERY long time!
~The Bible. Perhaps this sounds trite, but it really is true. When I really met Jesus in my 20's and started reading His Word...I get chills just thinking about it.
BOOKS I'VE READ MORE THAN ONCE:
~Pride and Prejudice. My favorite novel. Ever.
BOOKS I'D WANT ON A DESERT ISLAND:
~The Bible. I'm afraid I wouldn't remember enough Scripture otherwise.
~Pride and Prejudice
BOOKS THAT MADE ME LAUGH:
~Green Eggs and Ham
~If You Can't Lose it, Decorate It by Anita Renfroe
BOOKS THAT MADE ME CRY:
~Get Out of That Pit by Beth Moore
~Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy
~Let's Roll by Lisa Beamer
BOOKS I WISH HAD BEEN WRITTEN:
~How to Have Your Cake and Eat it, Too
BOOKS I WISH HAD NEVER BEEN WRITTEN:
If I can't say anything nice...
BOOKS I'M CURRENTLY READING:
~The Book of John
~Sacred Parenting by Gary Thomas
~The Choice by Nicolas Sparks
~Simplify Your Space by Marcia Ramsland

Oh, goodie! You had lots on your list that I have never read. I am always looking for a book recommendation.
Thanks for sharing your favorites. I hope to tackle this today or tomorrow.
Have a great Saturday!
Hey girl..
Have you ever thought of maybe just having your own little library and we could come and "check-out" books? You have so many! But at least you do donate to the church library, which is pretty cool.
How is The Choice? I was surprised I didn't get that one for Christmas, but I haven't been in a Sparks mood anyway.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for the tag; I'm seeing we'll have a few duplicates on our lists!
Oh I have a few to add to my 2008 list.
Now, 5:30 AM club...what time do your require yourself to go to bed?
Ooo!I just did this one! http://thegoodflea.blogspot.com/2008/01/theres-always-time-for-good-book.html
Thanks for the heads up on Beth's book. I love her studies but haven't read any of her books.
BTW - found you on Family Friendly Blogroll. :)
Great list, Melissa. I've read several of those, but there are a few I still need to read!
Thanks for the tag Melissa! I am working on my list. Although, I think my "books I've been meaning to read" list will be huge. I have high hopes for this year.
I have just ordered "Shopping for Time" from amazon. I am excited to read it!
Thanks Melissa, I'll put on my thinking cap. xoxoxo
