Teaser Tuesdays (Feb.12)

February 12, 2013

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

GerthHolley_YoureMadeForAGodSizedDreamMy Teasers:

“What we’re doing may seem like a ‘waste of time’ when we can see the vision ahead so clearly. Yet, where we are today may be the exact training you need for the place where God wants to take you tomorrow.”

~ p.32, “You’re Made For a God-Sized Dream” Holley Gerth



PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! :D

    I don’t have a Tuesday Teaser today but I do have a review up of The World Without You – I think I teased that last week? Have a good one, MizB!

  62. Interesting teaser. You read a lot of self-enrichment books! :)

    I have two teasers today, from The Hobbit and The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: http://anothernovelread.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/teaser-tuesday-the-hobbit-the-story-of-edgar-sawtelle/

    • Yep, I do. Can’t get enough of them. I’m like a sponge. ;)

      It’s putting into practice what I learn that’s the hard part, usually. ((grins))

      • Yes, I agree! They make it all sound/seem so easy when you’re reading the book, but then a couple weeks later, it’s hard to remember all of the advice, and it’s even harder to STICK to all of it! However, I wish you the best with all of your self-enrichment pursuits. :)

  63. I love that teaser! Today is training for tomorrow…here is mine: http://jo-jolovestoread.blogspot.com/2013/02/teaser-tuesday-feb-12.html

  64. I believe we can always learn from both the best and worst of times. It’s funny how we know we have to learn from our challenges but we forget to examine what it was about the best that made them so special.
    I’ve been thinking about ultimate questions this week: when I wanted to read John Green’s first book I went Looking for Alaska. http://notexactlyblogging.blogspot.co.uk/
