The greatest book I have ever read, and the handbook of my life, is the Bible. It is THE must read book.
But I love to read, and if you’re looking for some other good reads, the following is a list of great books not to be missed, not in any particular order, and from any category. I’ll keep adding more as I think of more, and as I read more:

Hi there, Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I was just perusing your bookshelf and link list. We have a lot of the same favorites-including Winnie the Pooh
Beautiful week to you, Gena
Anna, I just ‘found’ you via Shelly Miller’s place. I’m new-ish to blogging land (since January of 2012) and so happy to see your site and content. Awesome, God-filled place.
This booklist is very similar to favorites I would pick. You can tell a lot about a person by what’s on their ‘list.’
God bless you.
