Perhaps it’s a little early in the morning for bonfires… but still. The weather is changing (slower in these Southern states, but it’s changing), and reading by the fire is nothing but cozy!
5 Favorite Western Books
I actually haven’t read many western books that give me the western feel I’m looking for. I love the era, the genre, but when I think about “western books,” it’s hard for me to suddenly list five. But here are some that I enjoy nevertheless.
2) Shane by Jack Schaefer
3) The Boy Who Became Buffalo Bill by Andrea Warren
5) A Treasure Concealed by Tracie Peterson
5 Favorite Inspirational Books
Maybe I did a little cheating in listing “five” below (er, maybe I’ve been cheating all week…). 😉 You be the judge, but I enjoy this genre…
1) Lady in Waiting by Jackie Kendall and Debbie Jones
2) The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
4) Louder than Words by Andy Stanley
5) A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 and The Good Shepherd and His Sheep by W. Phillip Keller

Ooooh. Everyday Life in the Wild West looks good! I've heard about Lady in Waiting. Those two books I now want to read. 🙂 And The Hymns of the West series is one I have wanted sooooo badly to read. I read Life and Salvation, and it was so good. This party is so much fun! Thank you for sharing your favorites. :DHave a good and godly day!Love Ashley

I'm related to Buffalo Bill. Fourth-great-grandfather… or something like that? So that's cool. 😉 And have you heard of Pawnee Bill? (He was Buffalo Bill's show partner for a while.) We were able to visit Pawnee Bill's ranch out in Pawnee, Oklahoma last Saturday! 🙂 //PeculiarOnPurpose.blogspot.com//ModestOnPurpose.blogspot.com

It's not actually my highest rated book because of language and such.@ Ashley – it's a very informative book!Oh yes, you need to get into the Hymns of the West series! 🙂 @ Kimberly – huh, that's pretty cool! Hadn't heard of Pawnee Bill.@ Raechel – I really liked it! I'm not big into \”books for singles,\” but that one was different.@ Faith P. – oh, you should!
