The Top Five Best Books of 2012~~~Non-Fiction edition
Looking back over 2012, there have been many books that have challenged my heart, brought tears to my eyes, made me laugh, and I must admit occasionally got my feathers a little more than ruffled. Here is my top five list (in no particular order) of non-fiction books that have done all of the above to me and then some:
One Big Thing: Discovering What You Were Born to Do by Phil Cooke
You can read my review here.
You can go to the author’s website here.
This one really gives you a lot to think about and some opportunities for direction in your life. What were you created to do and can you be happy doing it? Those are the questions!

A Season of Giving for Children by J.A. Zilske
You can read my review here.
You can go to the author’s website here.
This is the perfect Advent devotional for kids. My kids are 12 and 10, and although this book is set up for a little younger thinker, both of them are loving it. Twenty-five days focusing on giving. What could be more needed??!

We All Married Idiots: Three Things You Will Never Change About Your Marriage And Ten Things You Can by Elaine W. Miller

You can go to the author’s website here.
Passages: How Reading the Bible in a Year Will Change Everything for You by Brian Hardin

Do you keep trying to read the Bible but it keeps ending up as a dust collector on your nightstand???
Brian does a great job of inspiring you to try again and this time succeed. Brian’s site also has a daily audio Bible that you can listen to, daily, duh!!!

The Anger Workbook: An Interactive Guide to Anger Management By Les Carter and Frank Minirth
You can read my review here.
You can go to the Les’s website here and Frank’s here.
This one really surprised me.
Me, anger….. no way.
Way, people!
This will open your eyes to maybe why you or someone you love acts the way they do. Someone you know needs this book, and that someone may be YOU.

That’s my list and I’m stickin’ to it! Any you’ve read and loved for 2012? Have another to add to my must read list?
