Detours and Standing Stones

Some friends and I were conversing about how our lives had not followed our original "plan" but had been full of detours as God changed our plans to fit His Plan.  Afterward I started thinking about some of the authors and books that helped me see and accept these detours as a good thing.  I decided to write them down as 'standing stones' - a record of God's faithfulness to future generations.  (Joshua 4:1-7, 20-24)

Here are a few of titles that I came up with:

• Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
• Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard
• When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric & Leslie Ludy
• When God Writes Your Life Story by Eric & Leslie Ludy
• Moulder of Dreams by Guy Rice Doud
• Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by C.S. Lewis
• Authentic Beauty by Leslie Ludy
• A Man Called Peter by Catherine Marshall
• A Rose In Bloom by Louisa Mae Alcott

There are others but these are a few that have challenged my faith, gave me a new point of view and/or gave me an example to follow.
