“Yep, I read it.”
To find out what BRF is all about, and to read some real reviews, head on over to Run the Earth, Watch the Sky.

BRF: Leviticus 1-5

The first five chapters of Leviticus are pretty much what I expected. Books like this show me what a lazy reader I am. I found myself skimming and have to be more disciplined to read carefully.
What did come through loud and clear was how gracious God is. The definition for grace that [...]

BRF: Philemon

Consider yourself warned. I’m not even going to try to make this short. I want it all written out for my own benefit, and if I’m going to take the time to write it all out I might as well share it in case it will encourage someone else.
This little letter came alive [...]

BRF: 2 Corinthians

It’s been a full couple of weeks here, and although I sat down several times to read this book, I don’t think I ever made it through the designated portion for the week. Several attempts does mean that I read the first chapter for each week a few times, so I did learn a [...]

BRF: Judges 11 – 15

Judges 5:2
I have been reminded once again how much I am like the children of Israel. It is a humbling realization. I am so thankful that God has never deserted His people, in spite of the fact [...]

BRF: 1 Corinthians 13 – 16

My Book Review Friday post. On Friday even. I feel like the one who shows up for church an hour early the day after Daylight Savings ends. That’s what happens when one is habitually late: you feel embarrassingly early when you’re on time.
1 Corinthians 13 is always convicting. When I was [...]

BRF: 1 Corinthians 9 – 12

I learned a lot this week. I just can’t tell you how exciting it is to be reading AND UNDERSTANDING.
(I do want to say that if you read my very long BRF reviews, I hope they encourage you. I don’t always read all of the reviews because sometimes we are so excited and [...]
