For any of you that enjoy Jane Austen style novels, you will love this book by Elizabeth Gaskell. If you like Jane Austen movies, you will also love the movie by the same name. Don’t be confused by the civil war movie by the same name: Gaskell’s novel involves characters from the North and South of England, not the United States.

Will Medicine Stop the Pain?
Will Medicine Stop the Pain?This is an excellent book that I recently read. It is very bibical, and deals with the difficult, but very real, emotional problems that many women face. The book can be ordered from Revive Our Hearts (follow the link on my blog roll.) You need to get this book whether you are suffering from troubling emotions, or just needing resources for bibically counseling others. A must read!
Choosing Forgiveness
This is a new book by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. It is very challenging and convicting, but also very comforting, because not only does it deal with our responsiblity to forgive, but the book very cleary reiterates what we probably all know already – that God has forgiven those of us who have placed our faith in Jesus Christ of so much! How can we not forgive others when we realize just how much we have been forgiven of? The author also makes a very important point about the notion that so many people have that we need to forgive ourselves. In reality, we need to realize that our forgiveness comes from God and God alone; we do not need to forgive ourselves, but rather, we need to receive God’s forgiveness.
