Marli Swanepoel | 2 comments I'm stuck with this one, looking for something good and worthwhile! Any ideas please?

Laura (Book Scrounger) (bookscrounger) | 22 comments None that I've actually read yet, but I'm going to read Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God by Francis Chan because I've been wanting to read something by him. At some point I'd also like to read Peace Child: An Unforgettable Story of Primitive Jungle Treachery in the 20th Century by Don Richardson because I've heard good things about it (though that would also count as "Book by or about a missionary.")

Marli Swanepoel | 2 comments Thanks Laura! I'll check the Francis Chan book out, haven't read any of his!


message 4: by Bob (new)

Bob I actually wanted to find something creative for this instead of just going with the cliche "Love" in the title, because that would be too easy, but I searched and searched and could find nothing that interested me. There just aren't that many books with "Patience" or "Self-Control" or any of the others in the title. I ended up just giving up and I'll pick a book with Love in it: I'm planning one of Gary Chapman's "Love Languages" books, or maybe a marriage book with love in the title.

Although "Peace Child" is a good option that I hadn't thought of.

Sue House | 3 comments Couple more:
Surprised by Joy, by CS Lewis
Peace Like a River, by Leif Enger (a GOOD read!)

Heather My choice was a little unconventional, but I had been wanting to read this book: The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark for the Ivy League

Thanks for the suggestion of Peace Child. I was going to read that for my book by or about a missionary, but there were some other books that I was hoping to put into that category instead. Now i can read both!
