How Do I Love Thee?

How Do I Love Thee? by Nancy Moser, is a delightfully captivating, well written novel about the romance between Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning. Moser’s balance between her artistic imagination and the actual astounding fairy-tale worthy facts of the story, gathered mostly from Elizabeth’s correspondence with Robert and others, blend together into a novel that will draw you into her world on 50 Wimpole Street. The air she breathed, the air she feared; the room that was her sanctuary, the room that was her prison; the father that she loved, the father who would never love her; the man who loved her, the man with whom she fell in love; all of these can be seen through her eyes as you read her poetical story.

This novel surprised me at every turn, and I believe that women old and young alike will be able to connect to the poet, for she has the innocence of a young woman and yet the mind of someone far older; her childish fears that held her captive were eventually put aside and she bloomed into the brilliant and sunning rose that captivated the hearts of England with her Sonnets From The Portuguese, her love sonnets for her beloved Robert.

You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be

Have you ever been excited about going to work? I think I can hear more people saying “No!” then I can hear saying “Yes!”. Now, have you ever wished that your job was something you enjoyed; something that you loved to do so much, that you could go into overtime and not even notice? I think I can safely say that most people would like to have a job like that, and why wouldn’t they?

Max Lucado’s book You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be is one of the first steps you can take towards achieving the goal of a job that you love. It will not get you the job, you will have to take those steps on your own, but it can equip you with the knowledge you need to move towards that goal. It will also ask questions that will make you think; questions about yourself, your life; questions about God, questions that can help you see God’s plan for your life, and questions that might help you discover who God wants you to be.
