Question

My Answer: Yes, I've read both, and if you haven't, I highly recommend them! I read Choosing to See a few years ago and Between Heaven & the Real World a few weeks ago. 

I love that both of these books are raw and real. Steven and Mary open up and share their lives with us. Not only do they share their stories - their backgrounds and what makes each of them tick - but they share their human struggles and how they dealt with one of the worst things that a parent can experience. 

Steven's book is freshest on my mind, and let me tell you, both my husband and I breezed through it. It's really good. And the best part is seeing how God held the Chapman family together with His steadfast love and how He blessed them with some pretty amazing signs. Warning: make sure you have a box of tissues handy. You will definitely need them by the end.

Last Week’s Top Clicked Post!

12 Things You Should Know About Caring For the Elderly

By Barbara at Stray Thoughts Blog

Barbara offers heart-felt advice on an important issue we all may face one day as our parents age. My mother is still very independent and loving. I am so blessed with her. Her "12 Things" really touched and moved me as I think about the future.

My Favorite Post of the Week

12 Things You Should Know About Caring for the Elderly

by Barbara at Stray Thoughts

 

Yep, I did it again! My favorite is the same as the most clicked. :) While I haven't had to care for aging parents yet, this post struck me since several ladies that were in my spring Bible study group are dealing with this very issue. I think Barbara has some great advice on how to help care for elderly people. If you or someone you know is currently caring for someone who is older, Barbara's post is helpful and encouraging.

Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop! 

Linkup Rules:

1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger's post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone's posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
5. Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
6. Tweet about the link up too.
