Glory Days is the first book by Lucado that I read. He is an amazing author with a gift from God to encourage believers based on biblical scripture that we can apply to our daily life. One thing I was able to clearly see was that even in Old Testament times, the battle was spiritual. You can't fight an impossible (not impossible for God) physical battle without fighting the same battle in your mind.
“Many who are working among the suffering…thought they were going as the benefactors but they invariably found themselves being helped and liberated themselves.”
(Just one of the insights from this book that resonates with me. This little book is one of my favorites as well as the book of Job in the Bible is my favorite.)

A great nonfiction read that shows just how important it is for kids to get outdoor free time to play and use their imaginations. I really learned a lot reading this eye opening book. The number of kids that are becoming weaker and having more problems with health due to lack of outdoors time is truly sad. I remember spending a LOT of time outdoors as a kid. Growing up running around my backyard making up elaborate play schemes.
pickThoroughly enjoyed this one.
You see we like our illusions, we like having enemies, and we are quite accustomed to our wars and prejudices, as much as we insist the contrary. They make us feel morally superior, even heroic.

pickI read Richard Rohr a lot, but he just has a refreshing insight into many things that government, institution, religion and society have so poorly mishandled.
The reality is that this book is an essential read for our current day, but it is not filled with the whimsical romanticisms that pull our minds away into La La Land, it is a very rare and eye-opening look of honesty at the world and at the self.
Okay, that's annoying! You guys could have told me 😁
