10 Day Challenge: Four Books

1. A Love Worth Giving by Max Lucado. I love his books! This one is probably my favorite, though. This book is based on 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8,
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
He gives each part of this verse its own chapter, so it's a lot to think about! I got this book for $3 at a used book store and I am now reading it for the third time. I think I got my money's worth.:)

2. Owl Babies. This was my favorite book when I was little. If you've never read it, this lady on youtube will fix that. Ignore her creepy, creepy voice and enjoy!

3. Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew by Ellen Notbohm. I had to read this book for my Intro to Speech Pathology class my freshman year at Southern. I picked this book because it was the shortest book on the list of options, but I guess that strategy worked because it was so good! Before I read it I did not know much about Autism and it kind of intimidated me, but when I was done I couldn't wait to start working with children with Autism in my career. It completely changed my attitude about the disorder and there are so many principles talked about in the book that I think of often. It's an easy read and, of course, short. :)

4. Tips for Story Tellers by Archa O. Dart. My Grandma gave me this book sometime last year and I have loved reading it. It's filled with good stories and useful tips. It talks about how powerful stories can be. Everyone loves a good story. They are fun, but they also have a simple way of touching people's hearts and changing your typical way of thinking. It's an oldie, but definitely a goodie.
