    If you are a Casting Crowns fan – Lifestories is great – even if you aren’t, you’ll never listen to a Casting Crowns song the same way again.

    Same Kind of Differnt as Me – great book- I really learned so much about how God can work in peoples lives to further His kingdom. You would never think and art dealer and a homeless man could come together to change a community – and so many other people as well.

    Marley & Me. It will make you appreciate Puma.
    Ordeal By Sea. It will make you appreciate boats.
    And, there is always the classic the Bible. It will make you appreciate God.
    His Needs, Her Needs. It will make you appreciate Mike.

    There, I have covered your life. You will be set forever.

    I just ordered:

    The Art of Possibility: Transforming Personal and Professional Life

    and

    A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix

    and

    Chasing Cool: Standing Out in Today’s Cluttered Marketplace

    and

    The 4:8 Principle: The Secret to a Joy Filled Life

    I’m sure they’re all good. Not so sure how fun they’ll be!

    i think you should read that pole vaulting book i have at the house. you might be able to do that too, since you can shoot guns and pull up carpet.

    i am so unspeakably impressed with your list. wow. when in the world do you have time to read? you must be like an insomniac or something.

    mandy :) I sleep a lot. But I have no kids and I live 2 minutes from work, so I have a lot of free time. I read in the evenings ’cause I’m not really into TV (especially now that the office is gone for the summer) and because i don’t want to suck at my job.
