Christmas Vacation.

I've decided to use my Christmas vacation to polish off four books. I'm really excited because I think one of my New Years resolutions will be to read a New York Times Best Seller every month. Blog post to come on my resolutions for 2011.. until then, here are the four books that I am going to read during my Christmas vacation:

The Autobiography of St. Ignatius
by St. Ignatius, obviously.
My mentor in Troy bought me a book based on St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises. So, before I delve into that book.. I decided I wanted a little bit of background information on this St. Ignatius guy. Luckily, I found this book for free via iBooks and am excited to read it. (Actually, I'm already 1/3 the way through.)

Table for Two
by Amy Kendrick Pierson and Mona Corwin
This is a book I read about online for mentoring girls. I'm really excited to read through it because I've already set up my first victim... I mean youth... to test it out on. I'm hoping it will be great. The subtitle is "doing life and savoring Scripture together". More to come on this for all my girls ministers out there.

The Prodigal God
by Tim Keller
A friend of mine used this in his small group and he raved about it. I hadn't given it much thought until my roommate said something about giving it to new members in her church. I thought I should check it out so she let me borrow a copy. I really enjoy Keller so I'm excited to read this one.

Unafraid
by Francine Rivers
A part of her Lineage of Grace series, this book is about Mary. I was hoping to finish it before Christmas but I got lazy and never did. :/ So, I'm going to finish it this week. I may get on a reading high and finish the whole Lineage. I've read Tamar and Rahab.. but I never got to Ruth, Bathsheba, or Mary. Let's see how overzealous I get about Francine Rivers.. I really enjoy her stuff!

So there you have it. My goals for the week. I have a lot of free time so I'm excited to finally get a chance to read again. I've been slacking so much.. stupid tv.. so this will be a great week to rediscover my love for reading. :)

What are you reading during your Christmas vacation?
