This year for every book I read I wrote a quote from it that
I liked. I put all these quotes in a tub. Today I went through all these quote
slips. I read 130 books this year (mostly children’s chapter books from my
children’s literature class). I read so many different kinds of books and I
gained a lot of wisdom from them. So I thought I’d share my favorite books and
book quotes from this year.
My favorite book

“ I hope that men will forgive me for not being
Zooey Deschanel.”
-“Haiku for the Single Girl” by Beth
Griffenhagen
·
“Yes, we are unworthy of this eternal love
relationship, but we are not worthless. The worth of something is determined by
the price someone is willing to pay for it. Look at the price that was paid to
allow us to enter into this eternally secure relationship with God.”
-“A Woman and Her God” by multiple authors
·
“A good book is like a good friend. It will stay
with you for the rest of your life. When you first get to know it, it will give
you excitement and adventure, and years later it will provide you with comfort
and familiarity.”
-“First Impressions” by Charlie Lovett
·
“I wanted so desperately to apologize for the
many ways I had misrepresented the Lord.”
“Passion is tricky, though, because it can
point to nothing as easily as it points to something.”
“The problem is not out there; the problem
is the needy beast of a thing that lives in my chest.”
-“Blue Like Jazz” by Donald Miller

“Life is always uncertain…we cannot let the fear
of what might happen stop us living as we choose.”
-“The Rose Garden” by Susanna Kearsley
·
“Lots of guys only give away their heart if they
know they’re going to get a heart in return, so it evens out. But I think
giving away your heart means more when you don’t know what’s going to happen,
when you might get nothing back…what good is a heart if you keep it to yourself?”
-“Twerp” by Mark Goldbatt
·
“You are
one of a kind, made on purpose, deeply loved, and called to be courageous.”
-“Let’s All Be Brave” by Annie F. Downs

“They say that lightning never strikes in the
same place twice, but the same is not true for courage. As it turns out, when
courage strikes, it almost always begets more courage.”

by Kathi Appelt

“We must dare to show up and let ourselves be
seen.”

with feet like trees and a voice like rushing wind, telling you are His
cherished creation.”

Miller

“Give me
the wisdom to invest in things with eternal value.”
-“Love, Skip, Jump” by Shelene Bryan

“That’s what love does- it pursue blindly,
unflinchingly and without end.”
-“Love Does” by Bob Goff

“We walk into the future in God-glorifying
confidence, not because the future is known to us but because it is known to
God.”

heart in all its messy glory.”
