Here are a few of my favorite things in 2011:
Books
*Deitrich Bonhoeffer:Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Mataxes
This guy is incredible. Bonhoeffer lived in Germany during World War II, and was a well respected pastor. He was eventually murdered for his involvement in a plot to assassinate Hitler. It's a long book, but definately a must read.
*Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard
I feel like this book is one of those hidden classics. It's the beautiful story of Much Afraid, on her journey to follow the Shepherd from the lowlands to the high places. Through difficult experiences, she eventually reaches her destination and is given a new name... Grace and Glory.
*The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis
Kind of like Hinds' Feet, The Great Divorce is an allegory about the Christian Life, except this one is more about heaven then life in general.
*The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Technically, this is a series and not just one book. It is also pretty epic, and I am slightly excited about the movie coming out soon.
*One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
I read a lot of book... rarely has one ever changed my life like this one. Voskamp walks the reader through her own journey of anxiety and the restoration God has done in her life by teaching her to give thanks. Gratitude changes everything, and gratitude always preceeds the miracle. Not everyone can really dive into her writing style, but you feel as through you are in her mind, reading her thoughts. I love it.
