On the two loves of my life (music and books)

So I missed the veep debates last night...because I was out singing Vivaldi. I've decided that he (Vivaldi) doesn't much like contraltos... But whatever. I still love him anyways. I'd much rather sing than watch TV...

Right now, I'm reading a book about revolution (the Spiritual kind, of course!) in Asia--they were giving it out free at my church last week, and anyone who knows me knows that I will NEVER turn down a free book! So I took it, and it's been amazing, especially after just reading The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun... that book literally changed my life.

Hmmm... Which brings me to a thought... There are only a few books out there that I've read that I can honestly say changed my life--I encourage anyone reading this to pick up one of these books, and dig in: I promise it'll be a painless experience, and, hey...it might even... change your life... ;0)

Here they are (in the order that I read them):
The Bible
She Said Yes; The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall~Misty Bernall
I Kissed Dating Goodbye~Josh Harris
In His Steps~Charles Sheldon
My Utmost for His Highest~Oswald Chambers
No Compromise~Melody Green
The Heavenly Man~Brother Yun
Do Hard Things~Alex & Brett Harris

I'm sure there will be more to come... So consider this list "to be continued".

Is that free book Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan? b/c they were handing them out free at the missions conference here at GCC! So we both have one, if we're talking of the same book. :)
