I’ve gone and gotten myself interested in several books at once again. I tend to struggle when my attention is divided this way and it usually takes me forever to finish anything so I thought I would post an update.

I am about halfway through Tender Grace by Jackina Stark. It’s a story about a  woman whose husband passes away and her struggles to find herself and learn to live without her husband.
I am reading this one for the Christian Reader’s Challenge which ends Thursday. It’s my last title and I should be able to finish with no problem.

Yesterday, I received Lord, Save Us From Your Followers: Why is the Gospel of Love Dividing America? by Dan Merchant from PaperbackSwap. The relationship between Christianity and Culture is something I love to study and this is one book that I have eagerly anticipated so I was very excited to get it. So far I am finding it to be a humorous, relaxed,  man-on-the-street discussion(with the author dressed up as bumper-sticker man ) about the way Christians are perceived and the author’s search for a way to dialogue, not to force his faith on people but to truly hear and be heard. I just started this one while I was waiting to pick my kids up from school.

I also started listening to The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan which is an eye-opening book about the things that happened during The Dust Bowl. I think that The Dust Bowl often gets overshadowed by The Great Depression. I know it does in my mind. I thought that it was a brief event that just happened during the same time. It was actually a horrific event that lasted several years. I am finding this one fascinating because I love learning about history.
I have been listening to this for the past few days while I walk. I am enjoying it a lot but it’s a long book and so far I have only been listening during my exercise time so this one may take a while too. However, I just woke up and realized that the Themed Reading Challenge ends July 31 rather than December 31(what was I thinking???) and since I am listening to this book for that challenge, I need to get a move on.

Finally, I am reading The Secret Keeper by Paul Harris for a TLC Book Tour which I am hosting in June. I have barely gotten into this one but have been hooked by what I have read so far.

That’s where I am. So what are you reading?
