Minestrone soup is one of my favorite soups that my mother-in-law makes, and since moving out of her home and into our own again, I need to figure out what went inside hers so I can make it myself.

I'm not sure if I'd enjoy Plain Faith or not, although it does sound unusual. I'll have to read more about it before deciding.
ReplyDeleteEeep, that's a long service.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an interesting book.
Really? 3 hours.....who can manage to do that....well yes when I'm reading a book....
ReplyDeleteMy BB and 56
3 hours! I don't think I could sit still that long!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard enough for a child to sit through a normal church length church service. I know, my Mommom was a minister. Love her tons, but she could talk forever. :-) But 3 hours? You're going to get a lot of squirmy butts!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds intriguing! I hadn't heard about this but I will definitely have to look for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat cover art. I think I would like this one. Looks very interesting!!
ReplyDeleteInsightful comment. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing to get kids to sit still for a 3 hour service. Sounds like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteI just found myself a book on Amish community last week! When I told my kids that Amish services were 3 and almost half a day long they just about died....not sure if I should be concerned or tickled by their reaction ha ha ha XD
ReplyDeleteLove the cover art and the 56!
ReplyDeleteHere is my POST.
Reminds me of whole morning services back home ;)
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by the Amish, so this sounds like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI used to live near an Amish community so this sounds interesting to me! Our church has services that are hours long too!
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice of book! I have read some Amish stories before. I've always been fascinated by them.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Bookish Memes post.
Three hours long??? I could never sit in church that long. My feet would hurt. I would want to giggle. No way for children to do it. Have fun reading this week.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds really good, I'm really interested in the Amish :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Friday 56 :D

A service that lasts three hours. Even I would be squirming. ^_^
