Knitting Knee Highs by Barb Brown

I have always been intrigued by the idea of learning to knit.  Recently, I bought myself a few sets of knitting needles and taught myself to knit.  Knit socks are always the warmest and most comfortable so when this book became available to review, I grabbed it!  Knitting Knee-Highs is full of beautiful pictures and clear instructions.  If you love the look of knit socks and have the time/energy to put in to make the socks, this book is a great option for patterns.  There are intricate designs and the author clearly explains how to make the socks to fit your feet/legs perfectly.  I highly recommend this book!

Sabbath by Dan B. Allender

In his book, Sabbath, Dan B. Allender does a wonderful job of challenging us to keep the Sabbath holy.  And, as if we need yet another person in our lives telling us what we "should" be doing, he does it in such a way that makes it something that we want to do.  Because, after all, the Sabbath is a gift from God, given for our own enjoyment and restoration.  Allender's writing style is easy to follow and the book is a moderately fast read.  Allender lays out what he believes the Sabbath to mean (with biblical references of course) and gives helpful suggestions for how to transform the Sabbath into what God intended it to be.  If you feel that you could be getting more out of your Sabbaths or wonder if there's just anything more to this holy day, I recommend this book.  At 194 pages, it is not overwhelmingly long, plus it has a study guide in the back, making it a good choice for both personal study as well as group studies.
