Here's
two additions to the libary worth your time: First, Maya Angelou's Wouldn't
Take Nothing for My
Journey Now which is available on CD's that you can listen to at your leisure
(taking a trip, cleaning the study). Maya
is a Grammy Award winner and a renowned writer of autobiographical and inspirational
literature. A reviewer says she
speaks from the soul with the wisdom of a lifetime." Angelou reads her
own work sharing the way in which spirit and
spirituality move and shape her life; exploring her experience of service, grace
and giving; about how she celebrates
the spirit of her people and the earthly sensuality of the sisterhood. Maya
Angelou has the heart of a poet and a
beautiful, vulnerable spirit.
A second
addition to the libary is Games Grandma's Play: Life Lessons on Christian
Faith and Grandchildren, by Joan
Jacobs. Jacobs is a wise and experienced grandma. In this volume she reflects
on one of the life's great opportunities -
to be a grandparent. She explores the dynamics of this special relationship
utilizing as a unifying theme different
games she has played with her grandchildren, games that reflect life challenges,
like making choices, working together,
handling problems. The final chapters are a heart to heart discussion with fellow
grandparents about their own life
challengeds. If you are a grandma or grandpa, new or very experienced, this
book will have something helpful for you.
