I confess since becoming a mother I don’t normally read a lot (I was a bookworm as a child), but this year I did. I am sort of proud of the books I read this year, so I thought I would link up over at Nesting Place. I don’t normally read so many Christian Life books, but you can tell a lot about what I was doing this year by the books on my list. I’ve been writing for a Christian women’s conference.
Books Read in 2011:
- One Thousand Gifts
- The Pressure’s Off
- TrueFaced
- Speak Up with Confidence
- God is Closer than you Think
- The Help
- Craving Grace
- The Pursuit of God (a reread)
- When a Woman Trusts God
- Gospel Wakefulness
hmm, I thought there was going to be more. Guess I didn’t read as many as I thought!
Books that I started and did not finish and perhaps will in 2012:
- Abide in Christ
- Grace Awakening
- The Practice of the Presence of God
- Mad Church Disease: Overcoming the Burnout Epidemic
Some that I have and hope to read in 2012:
- Grace for the Good Girl.*
- Blue like Jazz
*Anyone need a copy? I wanted to give one away. Leave me a comment, and it could be yours. Yes, I know this blog is brand new and a don’t have many readers, but none the less.
Bible Studies read and completed (*two of them I’d already done previously):
- David: Seeking a Heart Like His
- Jonah: A Life Interrupted
- Esther: It’s Tough being a Woman*
- Ruth: Loss, Love, and Legacy*
- One in a Million
God has taught me so much this year. I have to say I really enjoyed all of the books I read, especially The Help, One Thousand Gifts, and Gospel Wakefulness. One I read and did not enjoy was Speak Up with Confidence.
I have heard such good things about this book! Would love one!

Hi Jamie, The give-away may be over, but I enjoyed reading your book list. I am reading One Thousand Gifts and Loving the Little Years. About to start going through The Blessing by Smalley and Trent with my husband. I’m like you, reading has taken a backseat in recent years and I’m definitely enjoying getting back into the books! Happy 2012!
