Family Reading :)

Kyle and I have both been doing quite a bit of reading lately:) At home, we're reading the third Harry Potter book, and the book of Acts together:) Both are exciting and entertaining:) Having taken a class in Roman History, Kyle has a bit more context for the book of Acts than I do. The bit of background knowledge makes for some neat discussions:) Surprisingly, bus rides, and slow times at work offer more reading time than we get at home! So on the way to and from UCLA, Kyle has been reading Mere Christianity, and seems to be thoroughly enjoying it:) C.S. Lewis is a brilliant Christian philosopher, and has an amazing sense of logic!:) Kyle recommended that I read "The Case for Faith," by Lee Strobel, and I'm loving it so far:) There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter, for people who are reading it for a small group or something, so I have started using those questions as 'homework':) It's a good way to pass the time at work when things are slow, and makes me feel like I am not letting my brain turn to mush, being out of school for now;) It's neat, reading books that the other has read, because we can talk about the part of the book we're at, and not have to explain the whole chapter to each other:) Needless to say, four books at once offers plenty to read and talk about. And all four are great books that I'd highly recommend!:)
