books i’ve read in the past couple of weeks…

“teaching with your mouth shut” – i know, you should complain that i haven’t done this too well yet:) actually, i really agreed with the book – something i’d found through Christianity Today – it’s just very true that we tend to overtalk things – this book was designed more for college

“secret sheriff of sixth grade” – okay, thanks to Ms. Beth for lending it to me:)

“simon biles” – definitely a good read – and in our library – so recommendable

“humanizing the education machine” – the guy doesn’t like public education – bad experience with his kids – beyond that, the book was okay – he just proposes that “the machine” become something new – and i get that – but giving transportation to Uber isn’t going to solve everything – in other words, privatizing things doesn’t always make them better

“silence” – great book – sad book – made into a movie last year – about the silence of God – so what happens – or how do you make sense – of when bad things are happening and it seems like God is asleep at the wheel – you have to read all the way through to enjoy it

wait, what?” – asking the right questions – i tried to do a bit of that friday with some of you – good insight and a very readable book

“you can do anything” – the importance of a liberal arts degree – not that i have one:) but it made the case – albeit, again and again beating the same theme home – could’ve been much shorter
