Below are some of the books I’ve been reading this month; note that the following may contain spoilers:

Sounding the Seasons: 70 Sonnets for the Christian Year, by Malcolm Guite – A few weeks ago I decided to purchase this book I’d been hearing about and I’m so glad I did. The sonnets are lovely and invoke a sense of reverence. I’m looking forward to reading these sonnets through the rest of the Christian year as well as some of Guite’s other work.

The Life Giving Table: Nurturing Faith Through Feasting, One Meal at a Time, by Sally Clarkson – This book is full of anecdotes, encouragement, recipes, questions to ponder individually or as a family, and activities. It expands on what The Life Giving Home: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming mentions about eating together. There is a companion workbook, The Life Giving Table Experience: A Guided Journey of Feasting Through Scripture, that she wrote with son, Joel, and daughter, Joy.
