Wonderful Wednesdays

Good morning everyone :) I hope that your Wednesday has started out well! Today is WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY and I want to share something wonderful with you! I've been trying to use my morning work-out time to do some recreational reading. There is so much reading to do at SEBTS that there often isn't time to fit in any additional reading. However, I just finished a book that I really enjoyed. My roommate Audra let me borrow it and I am so thankful!

In her book, Sunrise on the Battery, Beth Hart displays her knowledge of Charleston well and recaptures the city I love beautifully. However, you don't have to be as big a fan of the lowcountry as I am to enjoy this one. The best part of this book is the way that she displays a radically changed life. Mary Lynn and Jackson are Southern natives who have climbed the social ladder in order to provide the life for their girls that they never had. However, they have an encounter with Jesus that leaves them forever changed. I've copied the description of the book below.

One more WONDERFUL thing (FREE OF CHARGE!!!): If you have a minute, check out this blog, Southern Belle View. Beth Hard and a few other ladies have created this blog to offer encouragement through inspirational books, recipes, crafts and fun little posts about being Southern :)

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
She wanted her husband to attend the town’s society-driven church. God answered her prayer in a radical way.

An emptiness dogs Mary Lynn Scoville. But it shouldn’t. After all, she’s achieved what few believed possible. Born in the rural south, she has reached the pinnacle of worldly success in Charleston, South Carolina. Married to a handsome real estate developer and mother to three accomplished daughters, Mary Lynn is one Debutante Society invitation away from truly having it all. And yet, it remains—an emptiness that no shopping trip, European vacation, or social calendar can fill.

While her husband commits social suicide and the life they worked so hard for crumbles around them, Mary Lynn wonders if their marriage can survive. Or if perhaps there really is a more abundant life that Jackson has discovered, richer than any she’s ever dreamed of.
