The first two books on my list were "What Did You Expect?" (marriage) and "The Father Connection" (parenting). They were both good and I'd recommend them to anyone interested in learning more or being challenged in these areas.
When I finished reading those books, I looked back at the Table of Contents. That's where I put my name in the book and the month and year I began reading it. I was not pleased with how slowly I progressed through those books. Even though I began well, by reading a chapter a night, most nights, I did not persist long enough for that to become a habit.
My hope this time is to hold myself accountable to reading a minimum of a chapter per day. Last night, while Matt worked at home for a while, I managed to get a few things done around the house and still had enough time to read two and a half chapters. :)
After choosing another marriage book ("The Four Seasons of Marriage") and a new parenting book ("A Mom After God's Own Heart"), I was beckoned by another. Yes, I am currently reading three books. The third is another parenting book ("The New Dare to Discipline").
It's hard to find time to sit still and take time to digest what I'm reading. I do believe it's one of the most important things I do all day, so I intend to persist this time and hopefully make this a habit for life.
