Too Busy Not to Pray was a 15-week study with my women's bible study group. This study challenged us to slow down in our busy lives & take the time to pray. We learned about God calling us into his presence, inviting us to talk with Him continuously, methods to use to break down the barriers that prevent us from praying to God, recognizing how God speaks to our hearts, and most importantly listening to & taking action when God prompts us. In one of the lessons we contemplated on The Lord's Prayer & rewrote the prayer in our own layman's terms to make the prayer more meaningful to us as individuals. If you are looking for encouraging words to improve your prayer life, Hybel offers practical ideas on slowing down to pray. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77949205 to: Don't Cry: Stories (Hardcover) by Mary Gaitskill

As a young girl I remember my family sitting together enjoying the Andy Williams Show. Williams life so far is well told here sharing his humble beginnings & hard work instilled by his father which eventually led to his great success. I learned many interesting things about his life & the many close friendships he had such as Bobby Kennedy & John Glenn. Andy Williams speaks frankly about the ups & downs he has experienced in his life & the contentment & pure pleasure he has regained as an entertainer now living & working in Branson, Missouri. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77455066 to: A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog (Hardcover) by Dean Koontz
