Mary gave to: The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal by Jim Loehr	My rating:
This book reinforces the importance of rest. The authors speak of managing energy rather than time and eschew the benefits of taking strategic breaks all day long. When I do this, I am more productive, more energized. When I plow through a day from m...more

Mary gave to: The Passion of Mary-Margaret by Lisa Samson	My rating:
I adored this book. Why? * It reminded me of Marilynn Robinson's Gilead. * The voicing of Mary-Margaret and each character was completely distinct and beautiful. * Though not necessarily a suspenseful book, I couldn't wait to turn the page. * The language...more

Mary gave to: The Hole in Our Gospel: What Does God Expect of Us? the Answer That Changed My Life and Might Just Change the World by Richard Stearns	My rating:
I love the availability and accessibility of this book, love how it helps me see Jesus, His world, and the plight of most of the people populating it. Richard Stearns, the president of World Vision, pens an almost memoiresque book, sharing his journe...more

Mary gave to: Columbine by Dave Cullen (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
If you're after a truthful, well researched and compelling book about the Columbine tragedy, I highly recommend this book. Why? * Dave Cullen did his research. He read hundreds of thousands of pages. He interviewed witnesses and law enforcement. He at...more

Mary gave to: Stone Crossings: Finding Grace in Hard and Hidden Places by L.L. Barkat	My rating:
I consider it a privilege when I finish a book like Stone Crossings. L.L. Barkat's stark, evocative prose wormed its way into my heart, and her unflinching honesty caused me to consider life more deeply, to run to the God who made it all. I love her...more
