    1. Purpose For The Pain par Renée.
    2. Grace For The Moment par Max Lucado.
    3. Le Grand Meaulnes par Alain-Fournier.
    4. Love On A Dime par Cara Lynn James.
    5. Un bouquin pour les enfants qui a sur la couverture un dragon et une tortue qui ressemble à Benjamin.

    Je ne connais aucun des titres, mais ma liste préférée serait celle de Megan, avec Walking On Water, Words et Sabbath.

    Vous faites bien de lire beaucoup de livres, comme le fait Alex et Brett! :)

    Right now I've been reading Uncle Tom's Cabin as well, The Ballad of the White Horse by G.K. Chesterton, and Story Craft by John Erickson. I'd highly recommend all three!

    Uncle Tom's Cabin is one of my favorite books of all time. I also love To Kill a Mockingbird. My mom read Love, Lucy, and she liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing!

    Wow, great books! Tori, I just had to say that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books ever. Grace, those books look amazing. I might have to check into the one by Chesterton especially :)

    and alex - well, we figured there was no reason not to post your comments :) And no, actually, my internet doesn't translate it for me, and I've never taken French in my life - but it's a romance language and I've had enough of Spanish that I at least was able to understand some of it!

    Stopping in again now that I've got a bit of time. Here are five I've read lately/am reading:

    1. David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens.
    2. A Return to Modesty, by Wendy Shalit
    3. The Lost Art of True Beauty, by Leslie Ludy
    4. Beautiful Girlhood, the version revised by Karen Andreola
    5. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis. But I'm always in the middle of a Narnia book. :)

    I'm not quite far into 'David Copperfield', but I'd recommend the four others fervently! I particularly enjoyed reading 'The Lost Art of True Beauty' for the first time just a bit ago. I've actually read it again since, working and thinking through a chapter a day.

    Lost Art of True Beauty is definately worth reading. I've read through it multiple times and always find a new refreshing thought!

Farewell

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

The Art of Spiritual Journaling

By Jessina -

- And we're back! Thanks for your patience while we took a brief hiatus. We're back to posting regularly and we have some exciting new stuff planned for the weeks ahead (including a few book giveaways!), so check back again throughout the week. - Also, a note: if you're a reader and would like your blog added to our sidebar, please leave us a comment or e-mail us. We're hoping to start a list of links on our sidebar of all of our readers' blogs. - - I have never been much of a journaler. I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No
