Tad and I highly recommend these titles:

I definitely dropped the ball on reporting each month on what I have been reading!  I think I need to catch up for April, May, June, July, & August!  It’s embarassing to admit how little I actually read this summer ๐Ÿ™ but I think I’m going to blame that on morning sickness, a few weeks of travel, and the fact that I take 1.5 naps a day since I started growing another person inside me!

Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper
Finished this one back in the spring as we wrapped up our seniors Bible study.  It’s a great book, regardless of how old you are and it inspires you to make your life count for God’s glory!

Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Again, finally finished this one last month as we concluded our study of it in our community women’s Bible study. I’ve read it probably 4+ times now and I get something out of it each time!  Highly recommend.


The Help by Kathryn Stockett
I rarely read fiction, but I had heard lots of good things about this book so I gave it a try. LOVED IT. I deeply hate racism, and this book (set in Jim Crow law era Jackson, Mississipi) was inspiring and riveting. There is some language in it, but I felt like there were enough redeeming qualities about the book to make it worth reading.

The Organized Heart by Staci Eastin
This book on organization doesn’t focus on the things most similar books do – getting a planner, decluttering, cleaning schedules, etc.  Instead, the author discusses the heart attitudes that need to change so that our lives can be more organized.  It’s just a little book, but it is packed with so much truth! I really enjoyed reading it and I think it would be great for a short (8-week) women’s Bible study.

The Stay at Home Mom by Donna Otto
This is a great book filled with encouragement for moms who stay at home (or who want to figure out how to make that possible in their families)!  It is full of practical advice and I learned lots from reading it.


Currently Reading

One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
I’ve been reading this one for a while now, as it is one that is meant for pondering. 

And We Are Changed: Encounters with a Transforming God by Priscilla Shirer
This is our new book we are studying for our ladies’ Bible study!  I’ve just started reading in (one chapter in), but already I can tell it’s going to be good.  Our study begins this Tuesday.

Dug Down Deep by Joshua Harris
Tad chose this for our youth Bible study (open not just to seniors this time, but to anyone who wants to go deeper) this fall.  I can’t wait for our study to start Monday!

I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but today it’s chilly and feeling like fall, and it definitely makes me want to curl up and read a good book!  Hopefully this list will give you some ideas. ๐Ÿ™‚

New Ebook: Against the Grain

April 18, 2011 by Aliesha

Modern Alternative Mama has just released a new ebook!  It’s called Against the Grain, and it’s filled with lots of gluten-free and many GAPS-friendly recipes that are created with delicious, easy-to-find ingredients.  I can’t wait to try out some of these recipes.  Until reading this book, I never even would have considered going gluten-free, but I now am starting to think about bringing some gluten-free recipes into our diet on a regular basis.  (With recipes this yummy, my family won’t even notice!) 

Here are a few of the real-food recipes included in this cookbook:

  • Spicy Lime-Marinated Beef Strips
  • Fish in White Sauce
  • Fresh Herb Burgers
  • Garlic-Rubbed Pork Chops
  • Tomato-Cream Sauce with Chicken and Zucchini
  • Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken
  • Baked Potato Soup
  • Italian Chili
  • Onion Rings
  • Salad Dressing
  • Chocolate Brownies
  • Banana Pancakes

Here is some more information about the ebook from Modern Alternative Mama:

Are you grain-free?  Whether it’s due to allergy, weight loss, or doing the GAPS diet, grain-free eating isn’t easy.  In fact, it can get pretty boring: lots of plain baked or grilled meats and steamed veggies.  Who wants to eat boring, bland food forever?  Especially on long-term, family diets (like GAPS), family members are likely to balk and “fall off the wagon” if they’re expected to eat so much of the same all the time.
But grain-free doesn’t have to be boring.  In fact, grain-free can include all kinds of interesting flavors, spices, and even sauces. Grain-free can be delicious and exciting.  It can even include breads and desserts!  That’s how Against the Grain came to be: a cookbook full of grain-free (mostly dairy-free and GAPS-friendly) recipes that aren’t boring, but are delicious and fun to eat. 
Against the Grain is a 55-page guide to delicious grain-free eating.  It contains 30 amazing recipes, including 6 “breads and desserts!”  Yes, you can have dessert, even grain-free!  It sells for just $7.95.
Against the Grain doesn’t use any weird or unusual ingredients: instead, it focuses on fresh, delicious flavors that are easily found at any regular grocery store. It also focuses entirely on whole foods — no weird, science-experiment-type ingredients!  That’s a major complaint among a lot of gluten- and grain-free families: strange, processed ingredients to replace the grains or dairy.  But not in this book!  Everything is based entirely in real food.  That means you don’t even have to adapt the recipes to be healthy!
Not grain-free?  Against the Grain has delicious recipes that are an asset to any family’s kitchen repertoire!  See the Table of Contents for all the amazing foods.
If you’re on GAPS, this book is perfect for you.  While there are a couple of recipes that aren’t quite suitable for GAPS, most are.  In fact, our family was on GAPS during most of the creation and testing of this book!  (Note that not all are suitable for intro, but the vast majority are for full GAPS.)  There are 27 delicious GAPS-friendly recipes!

Click here for more info about Against the Grain.

The first 40 copies sold are 40% off, with code GRAINFREE40!  This offer will end after the 40th book is sold, or at midnight tonight, whichever comes first.  That makes the book just $4.77, a total steal!
In case you miss out on that deal, get 30% off through tomorrow, April 19th, with code GRAINFREE30!  That makes the book just $5.60 — still a great deal!  You won’t find a sale like this again any time soon, so make sure to take advantage now!
Finally, the book will remain at 25% off through Friday, April 22nd, with code GRAINFREE25!  (Simple codes, right?)  That makes the book $5.96 (totally worth it!).

Purchase your copy today!
