What could be more encouraging for an author than to start the New Year off by seeing their book nominated as a “Best Book of 2010“?! Now I know I’m not the New York Times Best Sellers List or anything, but I thought I’d start my first Journey Thoughts list of ten of the books that I have really enjoyed over the past calendar year. So here are my ten favorites for 2010. I invite my readers to add to this list by telling me some of their favourites in 2010 too. Just leave a comment below.
Lynn’s Top Ten of 2010:
1. Outlive Your Life : You Were Made to Make A Difference – Max Lucado
2. Between a Rock and a Grace Place: Divine Surprises in the Tight Spots of Life – Carol Kent
3. Her Daughter’s Dream (Marta’s Legacy) – Francine Rivers
4. Embraced by the Father:Finding Grace in the Names of God – Susanne Scheppmann
5. Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider – Ellen C. Maze

Ellen’s book was a wonder – I still shiver (in a good way).
@ Lisa — THANK YOU MY SWEETS!! 🙂
Nice list to start my new year with
Of course you are allowed to add your own book to the list, especially when it is so deserving. The only thing I would add is that your book should have been closer to the top of the list than you placed it. 🙂
God bless your continued writing for His glory!
Thanks Jan Marie!!
Just started reading Mary Beth Chapman’s book – Choosing to See. Stephen Curtis Chapman’s wife. They lost their daughter and it is a wonderful book – I’m only beginning it and the tears are flowing!
WOOT WOOT WOOT!
I like your list, Lynn 🙂
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Ellen C Maze
Author of one of those books!
Got the Judging in the mail yesterday, Ellen. Am itching to start reading it! Blessings to you!!
I love Francine Rivers. No Christan book list is complete without her. 🙂 Congratulations on the nomination!!
Wow – you write books! That is so cool. I look forward to reading the second of River’s Marta series. Thanks for the list, and Happy New Year!
