Thank you for the suggestions. I quickly wrote them all on my TBR list. I have a couple already in my shelf! Lately I have been reading through some Karen Kingsbury novels. They have been wonderful novels to dive in to, I remember for years growing up my mom always had one in her stack of books being read. So I get to connect and reminisce with her over them. Like a time traveling book club.
I downloaded the Complete Works of Dickens on my Kindle and read them. I have the Brontes and Austen too. So cheap on Kindle. I read Agnes Grey a few weeks ago.
Denise, you read Michel Foucault? He was a detestable human being. You do know what he used to do in Paris?
I read a book on Lamenting - by Mark Vrepgop. Quite good but read it during covid and don’t want to remember being under house arrest and but off from family.
Keller is good on prayer. But my favourite is Alistair Begg on everything. He is accessible and down to earth. Andrew Murray is always worth returning to. The Heart in Pilgimage by Leland Ryken is worth having as a source to return to .
Andrew Gibson’s Be Thou My Vision - a 30 day liturgical book which can be used to make personal devotions better is excellent too. One to use forever.
But at the moment I am reading The Homefront Detectives by Edward Marston. A brilliant writer about Victorian and Edwardian times in a crime fiction genre. I have so much to get through on my kindle.
Yeah, Michel Foucault was assigned reading as part of my Master's degree. I haven't read anything by Alistair Begg. Thanks, I'll have to check him out. I do like Leland Ryken. Thanks for the great suggestions!
I have read the book by Michael Card a few years ago. So good!
I recently read The Counterfeit Countess by Elizabeth B. White and Joanna Sliwa. It takes place during World War II.
Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar. It was well-written. I have never followed the Duggar family but would hear things about them and this picqued my curiosity.
I’m actually reading the book you wrote with Cheri G. - Sensitive and Strong right now and enjoying it very much. I like your very real and personal stories along with the scientific basis for the trait. It’s very validating. Thanks for the book list. You’re the second person this week who recommended All the Light We Cannot See. I’ll have to go check it out.
Thank you for these recommendations. After losing our son to suicide, we couldn't find any Christian books to address our condition. Michael Card's book sounds really valuable--thank you for the recommendations!
I think of you often, Dr. Allbaugh. I always appreciate your pieces. The writing you bring into the world will be the words that people will need most in that moment. Keep writing.
Hi Denise! I recently read All the Light We Cannot See and couldn’t put it down. It was so good. I enjoy reading about what you’re reading. I had to smile because I am also reading books that I have on my shelves this year instead of buying new ones. I was running out of space! I’m currently reading The Red Pony by John Steinbeck. I’m actually not enjoying it so far. Maybe the end will redeem it for me? We’ll see.
I admire you, Jamie. I reread "Of Mice and Men" a few years ago with my daughter when she had to read it for school, but other than that, I haven't ventured to read Steinbeck except when it was a school assignment either for myself (many moons ago) or an assignment for one of my kids. :-)
These books and have read them many times Scott M Peck -such a great read and it really makes you look at yourself and what type of person you are really -my husband Scott and I read it in 1983 yes 41 years plus

I am currently reading David Copperfield for the first time; I’ve been on a bit of a Dickens kick lately and I am loving it.

Love it! What is your favorite by Dickens??
Great Expectations and Oliver Twist. I quite liked, Little Dorrit and Dombey and Sons. Pickwick Papers is good too.
Dombey and Son is a favorite of mine but I haven’t read it in nearly 20 years; I should read it again sometime!

Douglas Murray in The Madness of Crowds wrote about Foucault’s activities.
I just finished "Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy" by Mark Vrepgop. It was really good.

So many good recommendations here! Love the quotes you shared from A Sacred Sorrow.
