recommend me a book!

[bluegreysky]

A spinoff of the ever popular "recommend us a movie" thread!

My birthday falls during Labor Day weekend.
I want to go shopping during the Labor Day sales as my gift to me.
I can take a very small amount of cash and bargain-snatch until
I have a very large amount of loot. It's fun for me, like a hobby.
That will be my b-day gift to me.

My husband HATES shopping. He is going to study that day for school
and I'm going to go solo on this mall trip because I can look and
try on for as long as I want.
My husband wants to give me a present that is meaningful,
that is not tied to the shopping trip.
I told him to get me books.
What books should he get me from amazon.com?
I want Christian inspiration and lifestyle books.

I already own/read:
-Captivating
-When God writes your Life Story
-Dear Jesus
-Jesus Calling
-Sheet Music
-Kisses from Katie

Someone told me to check out:
-1000 Gifts
-1000 Gifts devo
-The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex
(lol cause I got married haha)

What else along these lines should I try out?

 

[Odetta]

I have no recommendations, but I'm going to check out that Good Girl's Guide.

Thanks! I added a few of these. I'll have to research the rest a little more or perhaps go down to Barnes and Noble and read a chapter of each one and see if it gets me hooked and then I'll go order them from amazon.

The Discourses of Epictetus.

I really love books...but can't find the time to read I hope that you find some good reads.

Not a Fan is a really good book
Anything by Max Lucado
My new read is "His Mysterious Ways" which was on clearance at Barnes and Nobles, it contains short stories events in different people lives that were than a coincidence.
Made for More ( I think this is the title)
