I spent many hours in used book stores with my dad. He would take me there on father/daughter dates and we would just get lost in the books.
I love the smell of them...the feel of the different pages...it's just so comforting to me.
So, when I found out Gussy's Inspiration Workshop this week was about inspiring books, I was really excited.
I have read many, many books...but there are some I have been so moved by.
One of my favorite recent books is Nicholas Sparks's The Last Song (the book is 10 times better than the movie). It's a beautiful story of redemption...and the power of faith. The book focuses a lot on the faith aspect...where the movie barely addresses it. It's a must read.
The Chronicles of Narnia
I have seriously read these books so many times. I first read them in my elementary years (maybe 4th grade?). I loved the imagination of the stories as a kid...as an adult, I love the comparison to Jesus and His love for us. The movies are good...but the books are definitely better (seeing a pattern here?).
Harry Potter
Yep. I am one of those people...and I'm quite proud of it. While there is controversy revolving around these books and their content...I find so many values of God throughout them. If you haven't read the last book (or seen the last two movies) and picked up on the comparisons there, you're really missing out. The stories are so good...and I enjoy the books (better than the movies) and the movies so much.
