Books with meaning..

Hi all,
     As I journey through Lent I am constantly reevaluating my use of time.  What am I doing with my time? What am I reading? Does this bring be closer to God? I have played numerous online games in the past and I recently started playing Farmville 2. I was having fun but it was using up so much of my free time and I kept getting sucked in and could not manage how much time I was spending on it. I know I can still have fun but I want my fun to have the ultimate purpose of leading me closer to God that is one of the reasons I have this blog. I love reading but what good is it if I do not share what I have learned with others. I have mostly wanted to focus on sharing books that I have enjoyed and not just writing reviews of everything I have read. I want focus on the positive and not the negative. The church I attended growing up had a library that I would faithfully visit after mass to look for new reading material. Two of the books I remember clearly were biographies aimed at younger kids about Abigail Adams and Mother Teresa. I have been trying to locate them for many years and I have recently found Mott Media LLC, which published the series containing these books  in the Sower Series. They are definitely Protestant in their tone but are a good introduction to biographies for younger readers. As mentioned above I really like the Abigail Adams and Mother Teresa books. I hope you are having a good Lent.
                                                     Have a good read,
