New books to read

I have just finished reading two books -Phillip Yancy’s The Jesus I Never Knew and Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace.  Quite different books but both good reads. 

A couple of friends and I are going to read and study The Jesus I Never Knew together.  I’m glad I’ve already had a chance to read it through once since it is full of lots of stuff that I can stand to read over more than once.  Sometimes it seems that I need more than one reading for things to sink in.  Discussing it with friends is bound to help too.

So I guess it will still be one of the books I am reading.

I am also going to start another book by Madelaine L’Engle Sold into Egypt  Joseph’s Journey into Human Being.  I enjoy M. L’Engle’s works so am expecting that it will be good too although it is less of a novel than her time trilogy’s.

  1. Our church’s women’s group is getting ready to start Yancey’s book. Maybe you should blog your study sessions! =)

    That would be a lot of fun and it would be good to have a larger group to bounce things off. I will no doubt have insights from our study – or else it is not much use studying I guess.

  3. Two great reads indeed and one of them a Canadian πŸ™‚

    I am almost always readings more than one book at a time and always fiction is in the mix. What happens by divine serendipity with any of those combinations is always insighful for me.
