Why Frozen was so captivating.

15 Comments / January 21, 2014

I watched Frozen with my kids over the Christmas break. It was hands down the best Disney Movie they have produced in decades. Why? Because the story was compelling. One of the most frustrating things that Hollywood does is make movies where they throw a bunch of animated animals on the screen saying a few […]

      I did. I started off well and got a bit off track towards the end of the year missed my goal by 9. How many you read doesn’t matter as much as the fact you do read. Stats show most people never pick up a book after they graduate.

    Great job Sam… what an inspiration. I knew that you were going to try to hit 40 by the end of the year, I was wondering if you were going to make it… and you blew past it!

    I haven’t heard of a few of these books (and haven’t read most of them), but it looks like a great list.

    I think “Knowing God” should count as at least 5 books, by the way.

      Ha! Knowing God was great not the easiest to read but well worth it. Center Church should count as at least four. Lol it was amazing but very deep and very indepth but took a bit of time to read.

    I read Unbroken this year too. I almost quit reading it two times it was so disheartening in parts. Boy am I glad I finished it. It was one of the best books I ever read, and well worth the trek through the darkness.
    Endurance was a close second, which I also read for the first time this year. I liked Unbroken the best, but Endurance is also a narrative well worth reading.
    I always enjoy looking over your lists because I get ideas from it for my own (which is much shorter!) I was pleasantly surprised to see I had already read a few of the ones on “the list.”

      Mitch really enjoyed it thanks for writing it. I read it as part of my prep for a sermon series our church did on the essential attributes of God.

    […] I recently released my list of books I read in 2013. One of the questions I received most often is how did you read 44 books last year. So I thought I would blog my answer since it’s a bit lengthy. Hopefully something I do will resonate with you and help you read more this year than you did last. […]
