I have been reading a lot lately. Mainly books on infant death, grieving, and Heaven. I ordered 3 books on Wednesday that I thought would have nothing to do with grieving, pain, etc. The books that I ordered are "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp, Made to Crave by Lisa Terkeurst, and Organized Simplicity by Tsh (no, I didn't leave out a vowel) Oxenreider. I found these titles on the www.incourage.me website which I stumbled upon while reading Angie Smith's blog, audreycaroline.blogspot.com. All 3 books arrived last night (a day earlier than expected!) and I decided to begin One Thousand Gifts. On the (in)courage website, there is actually a video book club (by chapter) that you can use as you read the book. I am 3 chapters in and I really do think it will be a life-changing book. There is a lot of talk about death (even infant death - a topic I was hoping to avoid) in the first chapter. It has really helped change my perspective on why things happen the way that they do and that we really do have a lot to be thankful for in the midst of some difficult situations in our lives.
You can order the book from the (in)courage website, but I found it on Amazon for a little less $$. Here is the link to the book club for Chapter 1 of One Thousand Gifts. **The woman on the left is Angie Smith who wrote another book that I just read "I Will Carry You".

Enjoy!
