I just took the very first book on this year’s reading list off of the shelf, at the library where I work. Guess what? I’m going to be the FIRST person to read it and it was purchased June 7, 2007.
I’m a little scared, to be honest. Yet, intrigued at the same time…
I’m not going to try and gobble this one down. It will be a process and I’m definitely going to read other books while I’m working on this one.
What about you? Have you ever read it? If so, what were YOUR thoughts?

Toni – i read this YEARS AGO (it took awhile) but was a great ‘faith-building read.’ Stay with it!… Last year for Lent, however, i tried to read St. Augustine’s City of God (a bit thicker tome, the kind you have to read each paragraph 3 or 4 times to ‘get’).. it’s still in the ‘reading pile’ (actually, it moved back onto the shelf..kinda weighed the rest of the pile down!)
your blog is so amazing – thanx for sharing your writing gift with us!
Virginia, thanks for the encouragement. I started reading “Confessions” last night. I’m including it in daily “Quiet Time” and enjoying it so far.
