What are you reading?

November 6, 2018 By Tamera Alexander

What are you reading now? And what’s next in your To-Be-Read (TBR) stack?

Me? I recently finished reading Jolina Petersheim’s March 2019 release for endorsement, and it was a real page-turner! Jolina’s turn of phrase and descriptions are simply stellar.

Joe and I are part of a community group, and this past weekend we began reading The Church in Babylon by Erwin Lutzer. I’ve only read the first three chapters thus far, but I can already tell you…it is powerful! And SO “on the mark” for our current times.

I’m currently finishing the latest novel that our own Deb Raney is writing as we speak—Chasing Dreams, a Chandler Sisters novel #2. And it’s touching, moving, heart wrenching, humorous, hopeful—everything you’ve come to expect from a Deborah Raney book. Unfortunately, it’s early in the process so there’s no cover art to share yet. But I can share the first novel in the Chandler Sisters series, Reason to Breathe—that just released last week!

Lastly, I’m currently reading the book of I Samuel in BSF’s (Bible Study Fellowship) People of the Promised Land I 2018-2019 study, and I found myself moved yet again by Hannah’s faith. And her prayer of praise in chapter 2! How she could do what she did… Such trust in the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, as she calls the Lord God.

If you’ve never been involved in BSF, I highly encourage you to check it out today. This is my seventh year in BSF and, as I told Joe the other day, this study is one of the top 5 blessings in my life.

The organization of this study keeps me in the Word. It offers me accountability I sorely need. Because I know me, and I simply would not be as deep into the Word, nor would I read it as regularly, without BSF. So if you long to know more of God’s Word too, if you want to better hear His voice—and you need accountability like me—consider joining BSF.

So tell me, what are you currently reading? And what’s next in your TBR stack? 

Blessings on your Tuesday—and if you haven’t already…GET OUT AND VOTE! : )

    I just finished Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus – so good! I am currently reading The Little Paris Bookshop for a book club, it’s ok. Next up is Murder at the Flamingo by Rachel McMillan, then An Hour Unspent by Rosanna White, and I am hurrying through my current read to get to those books. I am in a Precept study on Revelation, which keeps me accountable and studying God’s Word. I think I will put The Church in Babylon on my TBR pile too!

    I am currently reading Esther (in the Bible), Warfare by Tony Evans, Emily Dickinson (Harold Bloom’s BioCritiques). I just finished All Made Up by Kara Isaac, so I probably won’t read any more fiction until this coming weekend.

    On my TBR stack are: Send Down the Rain by Charles Martin, Wait for Me by Susan May Warren, and The Lady of Tarpon Springs by Judith Miller.

    Finishing “The Lost Queen” by Signe Pike–it’s the first novel in a new trilogy about a forgotten early medieval Scottish Queen.
    Next up are a few history books about the UK and one about a French medieval city.
    I’m looking forward to reading the concluding novel in the “Ivy Hill” series by Julie Klassen. The cover for it is lovely.
    I read “An Hour Unspent” by Roseanna White not long ago. It was a satisfactory conclusion to the trilogy.

    I’m currently reading (and enjoying very much) Jen Turano’s Caught by Surprise. Her books are so fun. Next up is a re-reading of your book for book club, A Note Yet Unsung. I enjoyed it the first time so I’m sure I will again. It will be fun to discuss it with the other ladies in my book club.

    I LOVED The Church in Babylon! I read it recently as well. The first chapters were definitely my favorite but I think it’s an AMAZING resource for people read and really think about when considering their attitudes and methods of ministry.

    I’m currently reading Brentwood by Grace Livingston Hill. I’m on the fence about whether I enjoy her writing. I think next up for me is A Sparkle of Silver by Liz Johnson.
