101 Cups of Water

101 Cups of Water by C.D. Baker

For every time you’ve tried too hard, fell too far, or struggled too much, the refreshing cups in this book–or reminders of God’s infinite grace and mercy–will renew you like cool, clear water after a long, dry walk on a dusty, pitted, uphill road.

“I’ve been a believing Christian since childhood,” author C. David Baker explains, “but it’s my personal failures that have led me to the deep well of Grace.”

David poured his dashed hopes, broken dreams, haunting doubts, and paralyzing fear down that well and found all that’s collected here, all he, like you, needs for living with peace, joy, and purpose: cool cups of relief, comfort, revival, and sustenance.

Because Water Is Life.
And 101 Cups of Water Will Quench Your Thirst.

Courtesy of Waterbrook Press, I have two copies of this book to give away! So, if you're interested please email me at pattie @ dcwblogs.com (delete the spaces around the @--spammers troll this site so I can't post a direct link).

I will be drawing for the winner on Jan. 30.

How many books did you read in 2007?

I read a grand total of 148 books in 2007. See how many you can read when your husband is deployed? (ha ha!)

Seriously, though, I read a LOT. I read in the morning, and I read at night. I read when my girls are at dance, when they're at gymnastics, when I'm eating...you get the idea.

My goal for 2008 is the same as 2007: minimum 120 books, which is an average of 10 per month.

I've also entered several reading challenges again this year, and I'm being much more realistic with my lists this go-round. I didn't finish all 12 of the TBR challenge from 2007; however, I substituted alternate books for the ones I didn't tackle, and I'll get to those another time.
