"This book is about a girl named Gooney Bird Greene. She came from China on a flying carpet. Gooney Bird Greene dresses funny and likes to tell stories - absolutely true stories. My favorite story was the one about Catman, her pet kitty."

"This book is about a tiny family called the Littles. They live in the walls of the Biggs house. The Biggs go on vacation and a messy family from the city named the Newcombs come to stay for three months. The Littles are mistaken for mice. So the Newcombs get a cat, because cats eat mice. But the Littles become friends with the kitty."

Praying the Lord's Prayer, by J.I. Packer
13/60 | Started 01.16.25 • Finished 03.06.25 | 4 stars
This was the women's study for our church for the beginning of the year. While I appreciated the bite-sized looks at each phrase in the Lord's prayer, several of us thought that because it was pulled from a larger book it was missing some of the context and as a result felt choppy in places. Would still recommend it as a short but deep look into this well-known passage from the Bible.
