3 excellent books ...

Several years ago, I (Sherry) was preparing for a trip and realised I couldn't take more than one book easily with the weight restriction on our bags, so I started buying books to read on my Kindle. I love it - it's like taking my library with me wherever I go! In a few weeks we'll be traveling to New Zealand to meet with leaders of the new YWAM Koha ship, so I am thinking about new books to download for the 30+hr trip. There are lots of great titles out there, but these were really meaningful to me so I wanted to share them (as friends often ask what I am reading) and maybe you'll inspire my next read!
