Book: “Belle” by Elizabeth Mills
Both of our girls LOVE horses! Their grandparents gave them several horse books which have quickly become some of their favorites. One of the ones they enjoy is Belle by Elizabeth Mills. The book is about a girl named Emmy who moved from the country into the big city. Emmy loves horses and misses her home in the country but soon finds a stable were she can go riding in the park. The horse she rides is named Belle who helps her adjust to living in the city. If your child is starting to read independently and enjoys animals (especially horses) they will probably like this book.

Free Audio Book: “The Sword” by Bryan Litfin
For the month of July Christian Audio is offering a free download of an audio book . This month the audio book is The Sword by Bryan Litfin.
This novel of page-turning action and adventure poses the question, “If a society had no knowledge of Christianity, and then a Bible were discovered, what would happen?” Four hundred years after a deadly virus and nuclear war destroyed the modern world, a new and noble civilization emerges. In this kingdom, called Chiveis, snow-capped mountains provide protection, and fields and livestock provide food. The people live medieval-style lives, with almost no knowledge of the “ancient” world. Safe in their natural stronghold, the Chiveisi have everything they need, even their own religion. Christianity has been forgotten–until a young army scout comes across a strange book. (information from Christian Audio)
If you have been wanting to a book to listen to throughout the day or while driving then this is a great opportunity to get a book for free when you download it from Christian Audio in July. Make sure to submit your order by July 31, 2012 to get your free audio book. Thanks Christian Audio!

Book: “More Than Enough” by Dave Ramsey
On a recent trip I read the book More Than Enough by Dave Ramsey. I have read a couple other of Dave’s books and have enjoyed them. This book is geared more towards self improvement and motivation. Dave emphasizes the importance of being content and living an ethical life. While this book does discuss money it’s primary focus is how finances relates to your spouse, children, work and every other area of your life. The book makes us pause and reflect on our character, values, discipline, and how we interact with those around us. Some of the areas discussed:
- Discipline
- Goal Setting
- Values
- Accountability
- Patience
- Generosity (both time & resources)
Even though this book was a little different from Total Money Makeover I believe it contains some key components to having a successful life. Having all the money in the world isn’t much if we are not content or don’t have someone to share it with. As with anything we can find ourselves being too extreme when it comes to finances (too frugal or too loose with money). I like how he ties it all together and builds on the importance of family, goal setting, values, generosity, and finding contentment beyond our finances.
Also, included at the end of each chapter in this book are Thoughts from Sharon which is a paragraph or two from Dave’s wife and her insights regarding the topic that was discussed. In the appendix of the book there are several financial worksheets that you can use to help you get started with your finances.
