OPPOSITES ATTRACT...
...BOOKS THAT THIS HUSBAND AND WIFE BOTH LIKE.
Folks that know us in real life can testify to the fact that my hubby and I are very different. Over the almost 20 years of marriage, we've rubbed off on each other a bit and have smoothed away some of the differences, but over all, we're still pretty opposite in many ways.
He's an introvert, I'm an extrovert.
He's task-oriented, I'm people-focused.
He's strong, I'm a wimp.
He's a hard worker, I'm fairly lazy.
He's self-disciplined, I'm self-indulgent.
He's a former paratrooper and green beret, I'm a former preschool teacher and mental health case manager.
He's an engineer, I'm a stay-at-home-mom-and-homeschool-educator.
He's a native Californian, I'm a Southern Belle.
He's excels at math and science, I'm prefer art and music.
And if you know anything about the Myers-Briggs Personality test, he's an IN/STJ, I'm an ENFP.
But despite all our differences, we do have a lot in common. We both are followers of Jesus We both are committed to serving in Swaziland. We enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. We love our big, crazy family. And we both love reading...a lot.
Of course, opposites that we are, our reading tastes are usually very divergent. But over the years, we have come across books that the both of us have liked.
Here are some of those mutually admired tomes:
CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY --- Alan Patton
IRRESISTIBLE REVOLUTION --- Shane Claiborne
ZORA AND NICKY --- Claudia Mair Burney
FOUR SOULS: A SEARCH FOR EPIC LIFE --- Sklar, Medefind, Peterson, Kronberg
THE GREAT DIVIDE --- T. Davis Bunn
THE LIST --- Robert Whitlow
THE MESSAGE --- Eugene Peterson
JERUSALEM VIGIL --- Brock Thoene
THE EMPEROR OF OCEAN PARK --- Stephen L. Carter
THIS PRESENT DARKNESS and PIERCING THE DARKNESS --- Frank Peretti
THE VISITATION --- Frank Peretti
THE LAST JIHAD --- Joel C. Rosenberg
BABY BLUES --- Rick Kirkman
SHADOWMANCER --- G.P. Taylor
