Her.menutics posted this list a little bit ago. There’s still time to get them for Christmas for the bookworms on your list, or for yourself.  And I think at least five of them have legitimate faith-work-discipleship connections, starting with the first one (below) Check out the list (and feel free to send me one of them.) 🙂

For anyone who’s too busy to read: Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time by Brigid Shulte

I started listening to Overwhelmed, thinking it would be a self-help book that guided me in simplifying my life. Instead, I am very grateful for Shulte’s thorough investigation of the social and political forces that have resulted in a culture of overwork and particularly the effect this shift in the way we spend our time has had on women and family. I highly recommend it.
