Book Smarts

A Year of Biblical Womanhood, Rachel Held Evans (Thomas Nelson) 
For readers like me who hate the dry tone of so many non-fiction books, this is really a great book. It's funny, relatable, well-written, and interesting. If you're drawn to navel-gazing books of stumbling self-discovery like The Happiness Project and Julie and Julia, this is sort of a mash-up of those two, only much more church-library-acceptable. Take a break from the novels and gain a little insight into what makes you special as a woman, and how you really can fulfill your potential to live Biblically without exiling yourself to a tent and calling your husband "Master"....


Lifted by Angels: The Presence and Power of Our Heavenly Guides and Guardians by Joel J. Miller (Thomas Nelson)
Miller incorporates historical reference with modern accounts of angels in both the everyday lives of people and in momentous events, tracking them through the Bible and showing just how much influence they are given. Check it out if you enjoy books that explore the role of angels and demons.
