What I'm reading

Diary of a Rabbit: I found this sweet book at the library the other day. It was published in 1982, written by Lilo Hess. It begins with the birth of some bunnies, including Daisy, the main character. It has some very sweet pictures of a growing rabbit and the story concludes when Daisy becomes a mother. Factual yet fun. I love it.

Prodigal God: by Timothy Keller. I read this for book club last month. It focuses on the story we think of as the Prodigal Son, but Keller explores the depth of the parable. The prodigal was lost, the elder brother was lost, I was lost in sin. But our Heavenly Father seeks us out and draws us to Himself. I never really understood this parable before- I am an older sister and always thought the elder brother was justified in his anger. I am grateful for Rev. Keller for writing this book and explaining the radical nature of this parable.
