Oh how I love to read!
 
I have to save up my fiction reading for the school holidays... I get so lost in the story I need bigger chunks of time than are possible through the terms.   Our oldest daughter calls non fiction "smart books".  Those I read in term time as they can be taken and chewed on in smaller chunks.
 
I've recently cleaned out box loads of these smart books as I have come to the conclusion that a great many of them - or perhaps the way we use them - are more about human efforts at righteousness than they are a revelation of God's power, love and ability to work in us.  These days I want to know Him more - not just to know more stuff about Him, or about how to better myself.  Our own righteouseness is "as filthy rags".  I want the real thing.  His righteousness.  His garments.
 
My two best used websites for buying books are:
 
FREE postage worldwide from the UK.  Arrives at our door in the hills of Perth Western Australia within a week.  Need to check a currency converter on the internet for exchange rates but is usually about 2/3 of the regular price anywhere else.  Fabulous!!!
 
Expensive postage and 4-6 weeks delivery.  VAST range of Christian goods from books and music to candy and door mats (hilarious!).  Has some great bargain prices.  Very good reviews and information.
 
 
 
MEGA FAVOURITE BOOKS and THEIR AUTHORS
 
When I 'get' a favourite author (or one that I just enjoy) I do tend to exhaust everything they write.  I've read pretty much everything the following authors have written but I'm only recording here the ones that were something between fabulous and life-changing.
