I am still alive. some days I do not feel like it...but alive I am!!! I have spent VERY little time in my craft room and almost zero time sewing or doing ANYthing very productive. BUT the last couple of weeks I have FINALLY gotten back to reading. I REALLY like looking back at what I have read in 2010, so I want to make another list for 2011. BUT I need to finish off last year FIRST.
The last two books I read in 2010 were from the same series, THE KINGDOM AND THE CROWN. I read the 1st book a while back and decided to continue on. These books are FICTIONal accounts of the life and times of Jesus Christ. Book 2 followed many fictional characters as they accepted Jesus as their Savior and began to join him. Jesus is a character in the book, along with the 12 Apostles. It is great to read the events of the New Testament (healings, miracles, teachings, etc), in an easy to read manner. It combines all of the gospels too, making the timeline flow in a way I had never known.
Book 2, BEHOLD THE MAN, is not as easy to read. This book continues to story of ALL of the characters, but it focus on the last days of Christ and the death of Jesus. Even though it was a great experience to read through these events and learn more about the Savior, it was hard to take at some times. Sometimes I had to put the book in time out and take an emotional break. It may have just been been because I was pregnant though =) If you are a Christian, these books are amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. I think we can all stand to learn more about Jesus, and these books help make it easier.
