I'm a bit late on last year's book recap, but there were a lot of good ones. Thankfully I was able to get through a hundred books again this year (it was my fourth year hitting that goal). For my fellow book nerds, I've also recently switched from Goodreads to The StoryGraph to keep tabs on my readi...
The third reading list post of the year usually begins with me talking about how the brutal heat in Arizona has finally turned, and we are finally enjoying the weather. Except Arizona is acting like a jilted ex and decided to keep three-digit temperatures going way longer than it has any right to do...
I enjoy playing video games with my kids and by myself to relax. Playing Fortnite has allowed me to experience them "on their turf" in a unique way. It's also a very humbling experience as two of them are far better than me. I contribute best to our squad through encouragement and carrying heals ...
It's freakin hot in Arizona and those of us living here are currently surviving in pools and air conditioning. This also means it's the halfway point of the year and time to check in on the reading list.
Below are the 48 books I have read so far this year. Click the link on any title to see the Ama...
I recently had a chance to join a good friend of mine on the "Space for Faith" podcast. In addition to being a kindred spirit, my friend Mike Goldsworthy was one of the early guests on my "Cabernet and Pray" podcast (Episode 4: Moving Beyond the Medium), so jumping over and spending time on his podc...
I got in my vehicle recently and immediately needed to crank the air conditioning. Winter has left us. That means it's time to check in on our reading lists.
Below are the 23 books I have read so far this year with my rating for each (5 being the best) and a brief review. Most books get a three as...
If you had told the twenty-something version of me that I'd do a podcast with Rob Bell, I likely would not have believed you. Or, I would have envisioned it happening in a much different context (for both of us). But life is funny.
Rob recently released a fictional sci-fi story called "Where'd Y...
I just finished a book called Know My Name by Chanel Miller. This was recommended to me by a blog subscriber (thanks Caryn!). And holy cow is it a powerful read.
It's not a fun read, but it's incredibly moving and much-needed. I found myself tearing up numerous times. Chanel writes about her experi...
Another year is in the books. As I shared recently, it was tough for our family (see: The Fierce Capacity to Endure). We didn't get to travel as much as I wanted to, but as my vision board for 2024 says, "That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet." Thankfully, the re...
In the most recent episode of my podcast (Cabernet and Pray), I sat down with Dr. David Gushee. Dr. Gushee is the author, co-author, or editor of twenty-eight books (one of which was a textbook for an ethics class I took for my Master's degree). In the podcast episode, we dove into his recently r...
