Anita’s Christmas Favorites
December 3rd, 2010
It’s Christmas time and I’m starting to think about gift giving….actually I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. I’m making a number of gifts, though I think I need another month and a half to get them all done! I’m a big book lover….so let me recommend some of my favorites that might make good gifts.
These won’t be brand new, except for my book “What Women Tell Me“….but it wouldn’t be cool to put that on my recommended gift list.
So here are my gift suggestions: The Feminine Soul by Janet Davis; The Real Mary by Scot McKnight; The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo(children’s book that will make you ‘ugly cry’); Spiritual Rhythm by Mark Buchanan; Windows of the Soul by Ken Gire(possible ‘ugly cry’ associated with certain chapters); No More Christian Nice Girl by Jennifer Degler & Paul Coughlin; Jayber Crow(a novel) by Wendell Berry(more potential ‘ugly cry’ moments); Days of Deepening Friendship by Vinita Hampton Wright.
When in doubt, give an amazon gift card, or do what my friend Shayne Moore is doing, giving fair trade coffee along with a book and all you need is some nice Christmas ribbon to tie them together and their’s your gift. To get some good coffee and benefit two ministries head to www.breakthrough.org and click on the ‘Drink Coffee. Do Good.’ icon on their home page. Merry Christmas!
Anita,
Thanks for the great ideas! I’ve let Dave know that you’ve listed some good ideas for gifts. I hope he gets the hint!

I am a new listner of your program, its the only station i can get. its been a real joy to hear your program each day at work. it takes me right there with you. and i enjoy every bit. I a 49 year old wife and mom of two teens 16, and 19 teen. i can relate to almost everyone program you have especially, No more Christian nice girl. I can tell you what i think made me that way, but you don’t have enough room in this space. its been a real eye opener for me. One thing it has done is make me start to see who i really am at 49 can you believe. any way i love all your guest and i love the show. please don’t stop doing what you do. fan for life
Karen,
I’m just 50 and I’m right there with you. The past 10 years have been a real journey of self knowning and in the process it has transformed my view of God. Be encouraged!
I love Jayber Crow!
