Yesterday was the first day of Spring. Isn’t it wonderful to look outside and know that the days will remain longer for quite some time, plants are blooming, and everything feels new and beautiful? Here are some of the books I’m hoping to read this quarter:

• Awaking Wonder: Opening Your Child’s Heart to the Beauty of Learning, by Sally Clarkson
• By the Shores of Silver Lake, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
• The Imperfect Disciple: Grace for People Who Can’t Get Their Act Together, by Jared C. Wilson
• In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart: Hope for the Hurting, by Ruth Graham, with Stacy Mattingly
• The Life Giving Home: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming, by Sally Clarkson and Sarah Clarkson
• Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
• Perelandra, by C. S. Lewis
• Sensing God: Experiencing the Divine in Nature, Food, Music, and Beauty, by Joel Clarkson
