Last year, I read a total of 45 books, almost double the number I read in the previous year. It was a good year for reading. Here are some of my faves.
I don’t know that I had a favorite in the fiction category. It was a year of reading new authors. Francine Rivers is now a favorite of mine. I love her style. Her novellas were particularly enjoyable. They gave me a different perspective on characters from the Bible and made me want to go back and study.
There are two books that stick out in the no-fiction category. The first is “Shattered Dreams” by Larry Crabb. I don’t necessarily agree with everything he writes, but God used the book to teach me some lessons at a crossroads in my life.
The second, is “Seeing in the Dark” by Gary Kinnaman. Gary is a pastor and collaborated with a doctor to talk about the spiritual and medical aspects of depression. It is a short book that is very helpful for understanding depression.
Complete list of books read in 2008.
