Book #1: The Secret Garden
I love this book for a couple reasons. First it's one of the first books I remember reading. Secondly, I remember reading it and then watching it with my cousin one summer. It was our obsession for 3 whole months. This one and A Little Princess were our life that summer.
Book #3: Pearl Maiden
This such a wonderful book, set during 70 A.D. and the fall of Jerusalem. It's about a young Christian woman who falls in love with a young Roman Soldier, and it follows their story from just before the siege of Jerusalem through the siege a little bit after. It is a historical fiction, and you do have to wade through the first couple chapters before it starts getting exciting, but I highly recommend it.
Book #4: Joni and Ken
Hands down one of my absolute favorite books. Not only for the great message and inspiration that the Tadas are, but because of who gave it to me. Every summer for the last 4 years I have gone to Joni and Friends Family Retreat and last year one of my campers gave me a copy of this book, with a special note inside.
These are only a few of my favorite books, I hope you liked them. Check out my other list of books that I really enjoy on my other blog Thoughts From Oakdale. What are some of you favorite books?

Book #2: End of the Spear
Books about real people especially missionaries have always been high on my list. This particular book is no exception. I love the story and how God's providence and grace shines through it. Another one that I share with my cousin, thug in its movie form and during a different summer. Well needless to say I started to cry and so did my cousin. It's a remarkable story.
