Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Baking Cookbook
This is a must-have cookbook for anyone with a soft spot for baked goods, from New York Times bestselling author of Amish fiction, Wanda E. Brunstetter.
My Thoughts: I admit that I love getting a new cookbook especially one of Wanda E. Brustetters' cookbooks.
This cookbook has some great, unknown recipes or also called recipes I've not heard of.
There are easy and delicious recipes or there are intricate and delicious recipes. So many great new ideas.
I am especially interested in the bread recipes right now. After all that has transpired in our world the past two years I've decided to learn to make an easy but good bread. I found two recipes in this book that I'm going to try. Pumpkin bread and Unleavened bread. There's also a recipe for Friendship Bread but that's like taking on a new family member so maybe at another time for me.
This is a fantabulous cookbook so be sure to get a copy while they're flying off the shelves.

Joyful Surrender (7 Disciplines for the Believer's Life) by Elizabeth Elliott

Book Description: In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Yet it may be one of the most important lost virtues of our time. In Joyful Surrender, former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot offers her understanding of discipline and its value for people of all times.
My Thoughts: I've always enjoyed Elizabeth Elliott's comments on the radio and her books.
This book is quite interesting but I was a little taken aback at Mrs. Elliott's comments at times. She seems a bit harsh in her "dealings" with humanity. I realize that as we grow older that we, sometimes, see the world in a different way. It seems that Mrs. Elliott views 7 Discplines for a believer:·
* discipline your mind, body, possessions, time, and feelings
*overcome anxiety*change poor habits and attitudes
* trust God in times of trial and hardship
*let Him have control in all areas of life
I agree with Mrs. Elliott that we need disciplines in our christian walk. BUT we can't do all of these things on our own. I'm not real sure but she seems like she's reformer/reformed...a person who makes changes to something in order to improve it.
It seems to me as Mrs. Elliott has aged that she has changed...she rambles in her story telling. I'm not sure the reader needs to know just where she is at each time she writes.
To be honest I was bit disappointed in this book. Guess I was expecting a more biblical view.
