7. Crossing Oceans by Gina Holmes

8. Ransomed Dreams by Amy Wallace

9. She Walks In Beauty by Siri Mitchell

What about you? What books did you read last month? Which one was your favorite?

*Making the list does not necessarily mean I recommend the book. You may email me if you want my personal opinion. :-)

One Year Alone With God

I've read the devotional My Utmost For His Highest quite a bit. Dabbled in a few others. Admired the covers of even more. :-) But I'm so excited about the devotional book I've chosen to read this year! One Year Alone With God was written by my friend Ava Pennington. This lovely lady is in my local writers' group. She's a talented Bible study teacher, has been published in a million Chicken Soup books, or so it seems, and her debut book was endorsed by best-selling author Kay Arthur. She also has a co-authored children's series coming out this year! This is one busy and hard-working writer.

One Year Alone With God was published by Revell. It's a study on the names of God, but not just a series of definitions. Ava spends three days on each name, showing it means and how that attribute relates to us and our relationship with others. What I read of it in writers' group was thought-provoking, and I'm so looking forward to reading it in full this year.

What's your favorite devotional? What are you reading this year?
