Married Reading

I realized that I haven't posted about the books Matt and I have been reading as a couple for almost 10 months!!

After reading Tuesdays with Morrie, Matt and I moved on to reading "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown. It took us months and months to finish! We listened to part of it on audio when we went to Rexburg in April and then we had to take a break until we got another copy from the library. However, it was a really good read. There is so much information in the book, it's hard to sum up, but here's a glimpse of what the book can teach you to do:



We also read "The Best School Year Ever" by Barbara Robinson. It's a great sequel to "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and focuses on looking for the good in others, even when they seem to be the baddest people around.

As part of our Scripture Study this year, we read the "Infinite Atonement" by Tad R Callister. This took a long time, because sometimes we would only read a page a day. We had a lot of good discussions about the different theories it puts forth. I loved how he quoted scripture frequently to support his points. I could probably write a whole blog post on the book, but for now I'll just recommend that you read it.

Rhetorically,
Rebekah

  3. I love couple reading! Sam and I are on our second book of 2016. Our reading list doesn't look as deep as yours. We'll have to check out some of these.
