    You need to read Quench. A book about being dehydrated and how to get quenched. A MUST read. I love the book of Romans. If I could only have one book of the Bible, it would be Romans. Love your channel. So diverse in topics.

    I retired in December…was never a big fiction reader, but thought I might enjoy reading more in retirement. Some ladies at my church recommended the Mitford series. I am currently reading the third book and have truly enjoyed this series so far! (When I was watching this video today I got so excited when you mentioned this series).My husband and I will celebrate 40 years of marriage next month, and we will be staying for 3 nights in Blowing Rock, NC. We will also take a tour of the Mitford Museum in Hudson, NC. Also, I rarely read a book more than once, but The Shack was an exception. It is such a wonderful picture of the Trinity and of forgiveness ❤️

      Oh...I envy you right now reading those for the first time. I wish I could read them again for the first time. Enjoy! Congratulations on 40 years, we just pasted 30. I didn't know there was a museum...that's going on my list of places to visit. Thanks Laura!

    I LOVE MITFORD!!! I have read most of them but every year, just about, I have to listen to the entire series on audio ( R and B Digital has the first seven I think) through my library and listen on my phone. The narrator is John McDonough. Superb he does all the voices!! Emma Newland, Miss Sadie, Uncle Billy, Louella, Dooley of course Father Tim and Cynthia. Gotta try them if you can!!

    Favorite book is The Hiding Place, by Corrie ten Boom. I've read it many times and now I'm reading it to my 16yo daughter and 14yo son. It's about her family hiding Jews during WW2. Highly recommend.

    Bobbie, I know this is as 2 years ago and you may not see this, but I have to tell you that I read The Traveler’s Gift after watching this video Friday. It, and The Noticer, had so many things in them that I need to “hear”. Thank you for sharing this. I need to read it/them every day for awhile until I can memorize the steps I need to take to get out of this funk I am in of unworthiness and being unloved/unliked. I have so much to be thankful for but I need a new perspective and a new attitude.

    Oh Bobbie, you are describing my experience of prayer time. It is so frustrating and sometimes I just feel like giving up. At 75 you would think I would know how to still my mind for prayer but I have always struggled with this. Anyway, I will check out your recommendations because they all sound wonderful. Thank you♡

    • @MindfulMidlife

    @FourJaysFour 3 года назад

    In yoga meditation I learned the same concept of what your author calls "bouncing brain". The main thing is to not become judgemental or frustrated with yourself. Just notice your thoughts have wandered, then gently bring your mind back. Like a muscle, the more you practice returning to the present, the stronger your mental discipline becomes. This is the essence of mindfulness.

    I saw a post on FB the other day and thought of this video and your prayer comment.
    It said:
    "Feel guilty falling asleep while praying? Let me ask you...How do You feel when your child falls asleep in your lap? So glad that's settled. Your Loving Heavenly Father💗💗💗💗
    This brought me to tears sweet sister. Hope you can gain the same comfort I did when I read it and thought of our struggle.
    Love & Prayers, Sweet girl😊

    this was a great uplifting book review. I too read the Mitford books and continue, she keeps writing a new one every so often. Another series is Elm Creek Quilters by Jennifer Chiaverini. Yes it has to do with quilting but she ties in so much history and family drama and she keeps adding new books. Love this one for sure and it got me back into quilting. I too hate when the story ends, feel like my friends are gone but then you can always go back and revisit. Thank you!

The book is “Gift of the Sea”, by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.

    Educated is non fiction. It's the true story of a woman who was raised off the grid in a religious extremist family where she was miseducated and abused. It's about how she entered the real world and learned to fit into society.

It's about ten years old. Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick. I am buying several as Christmas gifts. I can't stop talking about it!

    Thanks for sharing your life with us, Bobbie!
    I loved all Corrie ten Boom's books, and more recently I highly recommend these 3:
    --A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, by Donald Miller; how to change your life's direction
    --The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg; truly life-changing
    --The Insanity of God, Nik Ripken; a profoundly different perspective on suffering and belonging to Christ

    Two books that changed my life..Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. I finally understood who I am to God..how much he loves me..and who he wants to be to me. The second is Redeeming Love (a novel) by Francine Rivers. I love anything by Francine Rivers..This book is based on the book in the Old Testament..Hosea. She sets the story in California 1850 gold country. The characters are. Michael Hosea and a young woman Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child. It's an unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love story.

    Recommend reading the biography-memoir 'Life is so Good - by George Dawson & Richard Glaubman. It's a feel good book and provides boundless life lessons - promise you'll ♥ it.
    Excerpt from book jacket -> 'What makes a happy person, a happy life? In this remarkable book, George Dawson (the grandson of a slave), a 101 year old man who learned to read when he was 98, reflects on the philosophy he learned from his father, a belief that; "life is so good" - and he offers valuable lessons in living and a fresh, firsthand view of America during the twentieth century.

    Thank you for sharing your books. I am new to your site and enjoyed it. One of my favorite books that has really helped me throughout the years is: Hinds Feet On High Places By Hannah Hurnard. It is the story of Much Afraid who escapes the valley of her fearing relatives and goes with the Shepard ( Jesus) to the high places where she had been promised she will be transformed and not be lame anymore. It is an allegory of our walk with Jesus and his transforming love. Very very good!!
