As of late, I have posted a list of books and such on Amazon that if one so desired, they could pick knowing they would be well received. I find it cuts down on shirts and socks under the Christmas tree.
With that in mind, any books or other gifts you would to receive? I have also put a similar post here the last few years, and enjoy seeing good ideas and what you guys are interested in. My big request this year is N. T. Wright’s new overview of the New Testament. Sort of pricey, but may use it for a small group study at church, having been given the blessing of our pastor to do so.
There are still many books on the creation/evolution discussion that I’d love to read, like John Walton’s, and I should read something by N. T. Wright also – “Surprised by Hope” is one that has stood out to me.
Also, though not related to science, Andrew Peterson has a nonfiction book out this year called “Adorning the Dark,” about creativity and faith and I’m sure things he’s learned as a musician too, so that’s definitely on my wish list.
My mom used to say “if you don’t believe, he doesn’t bring you anything.”
I ordered my mom and mother in law Catherine McNiel’s book, All Shall Be Well. After reading her excerpts I thought they would both like it!
As for me…we do Amazon lists too (my husband and his family all want very specific things, the general item idea won’t cut it). My books list is forever long. I’m trying to make my home/kitchen a little more “green,” so I’ve got a lot of things like reusable silicone bags and stuff to replace one-time-use stuff!
Me too! (I ordered them for my kids to give me for my birthday, which is right after Christmas.) I also got reusable mesh produce bags to complement my collection of reusable shopping bags. Here is one other thing that I have gotten (and actually used a lot ) and has been super useful instead of plastic wrap for short-term covering of containers in the fridge and paper towels to prevent spatters in the microwave: Amazon.com
