Simply Books

Crystal — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:50:51 +0000

One of the greatest treasures in the world may be used bookstores. In a little town called Baraboo I discovered the Village Booksmith. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had fallen in love. Run by beautiful golden retriever, it was full and full of books. Now I’ve been to bookstores before – [ Read More ] Related posts:

Relational Youth Ministry?

Crystal — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:06:57 +0000

Two days ago I read Relationships Unfiltered by Andrew Root. Dr. Root was so kind to offer a free copy of this book and I quickly took him up on his gracious offer. A professor at Luther Seminary, Dr. Root is one of those people I’ve kept a close eye on for advice and guidance [ Read More ] Related posts:

Book Review: The Help

Crystal — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:05:52 +0000

This is one of those books that captured me from page one. Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, it highlights what life was like for whites and blacks, and their relationships between each other, during that time. It’s beautifully written in the first person – which makes for fun reading, especially out loud. The characters [ Read More ] Related posts:

Suddenly I See

Crystal — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:25:11 +0000

Almost exactly 4 weeks ago, I was sitting in my office talking with an incredible group of youth when I received a frantic phone call from my baby sister. My aunt was being helicoptered to Atlanta because of a severe illness and the doctors weren’t sure what was wrong with her. Her heart rate had [ Read More ] Related posts:

The Biggest Hurdle

Crystal — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:46:55 +0000

I’ve discovered that the biggest hurdle to writing is starting back up again after you’ve stopped. I guess it’s like anything – the more you write, the easier it is to write. When you put writing on hold for a few weeks, it is terribly hard to pick it back up where you left off. [ Read More ] Related posts:

A New Kind of Youth Ministry by Chris Folmsbee My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a good introduction to many of the ideas that are out there about what youth ministry in today’s culture needs to look like. So many of our churches need a reculturing, not only in the realm of youth [ Read More ] Related posts:

Virtual Book Club: Don Quixote

Crystal — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:49:38 +0000

I have to be completely honest – Don Quixote’s craziness got the best of me and I never finished the book. I tried…REALLY hard. I’d pick it up and begin reading and 5 minutes later would end up asleep. Every single time. So my first attempt at reading a “classic” failed. Epic fail indeed. I [ Read More ] Related posts:
