December’s Books in 25 Words

Summarising in 25 words what was most noteworthy to me from the books I finished this month. Not many books finished this month, a combination of busy days, several partially read non-fiction books and this month’s 997-page fiction read.

The Evening and The Morning – Ken Follett

Another epic tale told from multiple characters’ viewpoints. This book has inspired me to learn more about England at the end of the dark ages.

Creating a Missional Culture: Equipping the Church for the Sake of the World J. R. Woodward

Focuses heavily on the five roles in Eph 4:11-13. Reminded me how I should be looking to serve as I settle into my new church.

  1. The Evening and the Morning was so good and I adore Ken Follett and his Kingsbridge series and that is all I have to say about that. It’s a strange combo of historical fiction and soap opera that really appeals to me.

  2. I loved The Evening and Moring too. He is such a great storyteller.
    Have you read anything else besides the Kingsbridge saga?

    1. I’ve read code to zero and the Century Trilogy but it was a while ago and the details are a bit foggy but I remember enjoying them.
