I ended 2018 with wonderful reading and somehow (must be subconsciously) this series of books all match the color scheme of my house! Apparently I was SUPER nesting. Haha!
Hope you take some time to scroll through and maybe pick up some of these to enjoy!
Imagine Heaven by John Burke
Everyone I have ever known has questions and ideas about Heaven, what it is & what it isn't, who will be there, how will we know, and on and on. So many people/leaders are afraid to give answers, while simultaneously afraid of admitting they may not know. John Burke bravely enters the world and research of Near Death Experiences (NDE) with an open mind to see if what the Bible teaches about Heaven lined up with the testimonies of the hundreds who have had documented NDEs. This book is thrilling and had me crying, cheering, smiling, and in total awe. I have to admit, I was a little (read: A LOT) skeptical about NDEs going into this book, but the stories in this book made me so excited for what is to come. If you have ever lost a loved one, been afraid of life after death, wondered what the Bible actually taught about heaven, this book is for you. Having gone through so many significant losses in my life, this book was a sweet balm for the grieving parts of my soul.

A Million Little Ways is beautiful and thoughtfully written. Emily Freeman, an artist herself, opens your heart to the artist with in you. With a little whimsy and a some wonderful story telling, she shows you how being made in the image of God, a creator Himself, makes you in your very essence, an artist. What ever your art may be, it is beautiful and significant. She helps you take the mundane and see it as the important elements of the beauty of your life.

Almost Everything: Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott
Anne Lamott is one of those authors that makes it hard to write a review. I mean, how do you review such a writer! In Almost Everything, Anne talks with such candor about just about every topic you could imagine, taking you into the depths of her despair and back out by offering her timeless inspiration. As a 7, (enneagram talk, hope it makes sense to you!) I ALWAYS have to read Lamott along side an light hearted author, not because she is a downer, but because she is such a candid realist that it makes my 7 heart wince. Her works always grow me and give me eyes to see things in a new light and her prose is, as always, impeccable.
