Book Blogger Hop #1 - October 22-25, 2010

Book Blogger Hop

It's Friday...T.G.I.F. Thank God It's Fun time! Time to discover some new book blogs and the authors behind them via the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer at http://Crazy-for-Books.com. This is my very first hop with this blog and I'm ready to discover some new "family".  So if you're surfing in on the Book Blogger Hop, please don't be shy...say, "Hi!"

Today's question is courtesy of Becky who blogs at Becky's Barmy Book Blog:


"Where is your favorite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden?"

My answer: In bed, of course! Is there anywhere else to read? When I was younger  it was the bathroom, the library, under my covers, under my house, (I lived in the West Indies, some houses had stilts because of uneven terrain) or anywhere else I could find.  Now that I'm an adult and I have my own bedroom...I look forward to ending the day with some quiet time and a lovely read...in bed.

Till next hop,

True love ignites their passionate pursuit of His call. With violent crime on the rise and the political climate changing throughout certain parts of Mexico, the opportunity for open Christian witness, particularly in some areas of Chiapas State, is rapidly decreasing.

Forbidden romance, an unlikely martyr and an even more unlikely hero. Orphaned four years earlier when their parents, active in the African National Congress (ANC) movement against apartheid, were murdered—16-year-old Chioma and her 15-year-old brother Masozi now live and work on an Afrikaner family’s farm.

When Chioma and Andrew, the farm owner’s son, find themselves attracted to one another, tragedy revisits their lives. Chioma escapes to join an ANC rebel band in her effort to survive and gain revenge for her family and culture. When cultures clash in life-or-death struggles, Chioma must choose between violence and revenge—or forgiveness and selfless love.

Weekly Devotion: It's Not All About You

Kathi Macias
“At the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me” (Daniel 4:34, NKJV).
Nebuchadnezzar was a great king, but like so many of us, he thought it was all about him. As a result, God humbled him in an amazing way—driving him from the palace to live with the beasts for seven years until, at last, he “lifted [his] eyes to heaven, and [his] understanding returned to [him].”

I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer to understand things from God’s point of view without first having to endure such a drastic experience. And yet, when we fail to lift our eyes to heaven and look to God for wisdom and understanding and direction, we truly are no more than beasts who go about our lives with nothing more than the desire to fill our stomachs and meet our other physical needs so we might continue to exist from one day to the next until our time on earth is done. How pitiful and purposeless an existence!

And that, of course, is exactly what God wanted Nebuchadnezzar to see. Whether a king or a pauper (or anything in between), when we fail to look to the heavens for our strength and understanding, we elevate ourselves to the position of god, and we fail every time, at everything we do.
