The best book I couldn’t put down…well, 2: (I reviewed some books I read this year.)

or jellybeans??…
Remember, as you begin your journey in 2014…
Philippians 3:13-14 No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven. (NLT)
This is an invitation to share your Best of Everything 2013!
