I thought I would share a list of books that I am currently reading to hopefully inspire some of you to consider some of these same issues that I believe are important as a wife and mother.
#1 The Omnivore's Dilemma
"A national bestseller that has changed the way readers view
the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan
asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from
source to table each of the food chains that sustain us--whether industrial or
organic, alternative or processed--he develops a portrait of the American way of
eating.
The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications our food choices have for the health of our species and the future of our planet."

#2 The Hour That Matters Most
"Dinnertime—It’s More Than Just a Meal. Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott have
discovered the surprising impact that something as simple as sharing a meal
together can have on a family. And they aren’t alone. Researchers across the
board are finding that an hour around the dinner table can really tether a
family together and help you raise up healthier, happier kids. Featuring
the inspiring story of Stephanie Allen and Tina Kuna, the founders of Dream
Dinners, The Hour That Matters Most shows you how to nourish and nurture
your family through regular meal times. An inspiring, practical book
packed with everything you need to help you make the most of the dinnertime
hour, The Hour That Matters Most includes

#3 Captivating
"What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be."
#4 Bringing Up Boys
"Sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys from the nation's most
trusted parenting expert, Dr.James Dobson. With so much confusion about the role
of men in our society, it's no wonder so many parents and teachers are at a loss
about how to bring up boys. Our culture has vilified masculinity and, as a
result, boys are suffering. Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping
the character of boys have lots of questions. In Bringing Up Boys, Dr.
Dobson tackles these questions and offers advice and encouragement based on a
firm foundation of biblical principles."All descriptions and photos were taken from Amazon.com
