The Shopaholic movie was so-so but the books are fun. I have to admit my heart started pounding when I saw you were reading the book by the Pearls but I'm relieved to see in the comments that you wouldn't recommend it. I am horrified anyone would strongly recommend their abusive methodology. Elizabeth Esther has written extensively about the damage they've done, if you want to learn more.<br /><br />Food Inc. is so eye-opening, isn't it? I definitely have eaten less meat since watching it a few years back. I love Wicked! I saw it twice when I still lived in Chicagoland and it's definitely in my top 5 musicals.

I definitely recommend the Music Inspired by the Story CD. She wrote the lyrics for all the tracks, and sings on one of them with Amy Grant.

Many people claim that the Pearl's teachings are abusive but I hope if you read it that is not actually the case.<br />Lots of great stuff here, I'm glad you joined the link-up, Rebecca.

In my...I saw the Shopaholic movie and loved it. :)<br /><br />In my very humble opinion (and not having kids yet ;)) there are a lot better grace-based parenting resources out there than TTUAC. :) I have a read a LOT by the Pearls and while they have some good ideas overall I think their belief system is very works based. Honestly, I agree with a lot of their stuff outside of the discipline field. (like letting your kids be independent and encouraging them to pursue their God-given talents and interests, not following the "stay at home daughter" mindset. :)) But, I feel like they are pretty harsh when it comes to "child training". :) My unasked for 2cents. ;)<br /><br />Some of my favorite reads have been "accidental" library finds! :)<br /><br />SO proud of you for the weightloss. I am sorry I was unable to meet my goals, but hey you'll get to benefit from that. ;-)Didi K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14935857073090348210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-14723995496361851832013-05-01T21:48:54.485-05:002013-05-01T21:48:54.485-05:00My sister Beth got me turned on to the Shopoholic ...My sister Beth got me turned on to the Shopoholic series - it's some of my favorite girly mind candy escape reading.<br /><br />I LOVE the book Love and Logic.
