The Gospel According to Starbucks-By Leonard Sweet

This book was a gift from a good friend that thought that I would enjoy it. I enjoy Leonard Sweet, and his writing style. I recommend this one. It made me think about why I love coffee so much and why it is always better with conversation and friends. I finished this in line at the DMV. My stress level remained semi-manageable and I smiled for my license renewal picture.

To Own a Dragon-By Donald Miller and John MacMurray

I am a big fan of Donald Miller and his style of writing. He is a great storyteller and is a master at combining pain, humor and spirituality. This is a book about growing up without a father. Several lines are memorable and quote-worthy. This book will find a nice snug place on my bookshelf beside Blue like Jazz and Searching for God Knows What.

Things We Wish We Had Said- By Bart and Tony Campolo

This is another Father and Son book that is a series of letters that reflect thoughts on parenting and childhood. It is hard to be a parent, and this book shows often how the actions of parents are often misunderstood and underappreciated. Sometimes, a gracious magic occurs and the Dad gets it right. I like that part, as it gives me hope.

Since I read two father and son books--I felt I should include the obligatory pics that I love!
