Crossing the Bridge Between You and Me by SUSAN LENZKES
Friendships just aren’t built the way they once were—event by event over a lifetime. Making friends today requires that you consciously do things that allow others to get to know you.

As one who’s had friends to share the joys and the difficult times of life, Susan Lenzkes offers helpful suggestions for building sturdy bridges of friendship and ministry between you and others.

Who Calls Me Beautiful? by REGINA FRANKLIN
From the magazines at the grocery store checkout to home shopping, from billboards to TV shows, it’s hard to escape the world’s idea of a “beautiful woman.” The seduction to be beautiful is strong, but rarely is the question asked, “What is God’s ideal?”

Who Calls Me Beautiful? helps you to identify the forces that influence your life and affect how you understand “beauty,” and encourages you to embrace a biblical and spiritual balance that honors the God who created you.

“I am an ordinary woman who has faced the same struggles that other women face,” says Regina Franklin. “But we have an extraordinary God who sees us as His beautiful vessels.”

What do you like to read?

Yesterday, on Twitter, I asked what books people like to read and why. It’s amazing how attached we get to books and authors, who become like old friends.  The responses were each different. There were classic books like On Walden Pond and The Hiding Place, newer books such as Blue Like Jazz, Two Days Longer, 3:16, and a 70s book, The Calvary Road. The reasons for liking each book were also different:

• Description
• Shakes you up emotionally/theologically
• Challenging and full of truth
• Helped me through tough times and inspired me in good times
• Style is practical and easy to understand
• Deals w/ waiting on God.

What do you read that excites you? What makes you share the book and spur on your friends to read it? Please leave a comment and let me know.
