Books Take Us Places


A more apt title for this post might be “We Take Books Places.”  Allow me to explain.

For some time now Carolyn has been reading to me as we drive.  This is one of the great joys of our marriage.  It is a shared event and provides us with wonderful conversation moments as we dissect the characters and thoughts provided. 

We catch reading moments every chance we get.
~On the way to the gym – 15 minutes each way
~On the way to church 30 minutes each way
~Driving to our Friday night date-night location
~When taking a drive around the beautiful countryside of the northwest
And just about any other time we are in the car

At the beginning of November we were searching for our next read and decided to start Christmas a bit early.  Just last night we finished The Christmas Train by David Baldacci.  I must say, this is by far one of the best, most entertaining and memorable books we've read together.  I would highly recommend this to you.


Look at some of the books we've read in recent months and years.
The Christmas Train – David Baldacci
The Harry Potter Series – J K Rowling
The Chronicles of Narnia – C S Lewis
Jobs – Biography of Steve Jobs
Jefferson – by Brodie
A book of Christmas stories
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Adventures of the Three Musketeers
Angels and Demons – Dan Brown
The da Vinci Code – Dan Brown
Partners for Life – Dave LeShana
The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
A Severe Mercy – C S Lewis
Help Thanks Wow – Anne Lamont
Daring Greatly – Brene Brown
Ragamuffin Gospel – Brennan Manning
The Furious Longing of God – Brennan Manning
Ruthless Trust – Brennan Manning
What’s So Amazing about Grace – Philip Yancey

And many more.

It’s sort of like reading to your kids at bedtime.  You create memories and you tell great stories

Never underestimate the power of a great book, especially when shared.
