#GRADE 5 BEST READS 2017 HOW TO#

It was helpful for us to read it while in the midst of weddings/engagements/lots of friends in relationships. Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot: My friend Jordan and I read this together during August/September, and I’m so glad we did.

I think this will become a yearly tradition for me to use this devotional each advent season. His writing is kind and understanding, yet convicting but also gentle as He leads you back to the cross. This advent devotional is written in a similar style to his New Morning Mercies devotional, another favorite of 2017. Anyway, I am a big fan of (I refer to him as PDT) PDT and his devotionals.

Come, Let Us Adore Him: A Daily Advent Devotional by Paul David Tripp: Very quick side note, for those of you who are followers of PDT, what do you refer to him as? Paul Tripp? Paul David Tripp? PDT? I have all the questions about this.

If you are looking/wanting/desiring to have deeper friendships (or even just friendships in general) with the women at your church, this is a must read! However, that wasn’t always the case and I know friends come in and out of seasons. I think–no, I know–that sweet friendships are rare and unique, and I am so incredibly blessed to have more than one close friend. It was everything I wanted in a book about navigating friendships in the church–as adult females. I got it and read it and posted practically every page on InstaStories because it was SO.

Messy Beautiful Friendship by Christine Hoover: Carrie, my pastor’s wife and good friend, mentioned this book to me in the spring.

And I’m a sucker for any type of “year-end” post, so here are my best reads (in no particular order) of 2017: I say all that to say that I haven’t read that many more books since the summer, but I have read some. I think it was around Veteran’s Day when I finally felt like I could emerge from the work hole I’d crawled into and have a social life again (that’s a bit dramatic, but it did feel that way some days). I’ve noticed that pattern develop over the last three years of teaching, and I’ve come to terms with it this year. That’s because the fall semester is the BUSIEST time of the year for me. However, patients and carers may find useful information in this version to help understand the processes their treating health professionals are following.I feel as though this post won’t have too many different books than when I posted about my best summer reads earlier in the year.
