Musing Mondays (Aug.16)

((My apologies for being late, today, but I was away all weekend, and didn’t get home ’til late last night… I normally would’ve had Internet access while away, but this time I didn’t)).

This week’s musing asks…

What books are you wishing for MOST right now?

I’m currently wishing most for the following:

“More” by Simon Ponsonby
Publisher: David C. Cook (July 2009)
Description: Many Christians have emphasized the experience of the Spirit and neglected the Word, while others have emphasized the Word and neglected the Spirit. Either way, we’ve become so accustomed to living in the shallow waters of Christianity that we’ve forgotten the depth of that promised power, and the depth of the love that gave this power to us.

In More, Simon invites you to journey with him into the deep waters of God’s love. While both biblical and practical, what he says also has the power to inspire in you a new love and a new understanding of everything we’ve been given in Christ. Are you ready? This journey may not be comfortable or easy, but it will bring you more joy and more of God than you can even imagine.


“Made to Crave” by Lysa Terkeurst
Publisher: Zondervan (Dec. 2010)
Description: Made to Crave is the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isn’t a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the “I’ll start again Monday” cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isn’t a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal – and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the “want to” in making healthy lifestyle choices.
