I'm starting a new "series" where I share what book I am currently reading and my thoughts on it. I love to read all sorts of books. But in this world of electronics, movies, TV and more, I have found that it becomes far too easy for me to put aside reading for another day or simply never finish a book. This will be a simply accountability to both read and reflect. And hopefully it will also encourage others to read. :) Mr. Mays and I plan on reading books together when we're married, so hopefully that will give me even more to write about.
Too Small to Ignore: Why The Least of These Matters Most
Dr. Wess Stafford, President and CEO, Compassion International
This book shares Stafford's personal life (including growing up in a remote African village) and his professional life. He writes compellingly for Christians to "change the world one child at a time." If you know me at all, I would hope that you know that I love teaching and working with children. I spent two years doing children's ministry with Life Action Ministries, I have spent countless hours babysitting children, I have taught children's classes in at least four different churches. Just last night I was sharing with Mr. Mays the excitement I feel when I see little ones understand the story and see their little hearts being turned towards God. I still have a lot of the book left to finish, but already I am challenged and encouraged by Stafford's words.
