What I’ve Been Reading while Sheltering in Place

What I’ve Been Reading while Sheltering in Place

April 23, 2020 Posted by Stephanie R. S. Stringham Uncategorized 2 Comments

Anyone who’s known me for long knows that I’m a prolific reader—whenever I can find the time.

The past four weeks have been hard for me physically and mentally because, in addition to our state’s shelter-in-place order and my husband’s temporary unemployment, I’ve been experiencing a mysterious ailment that we’re still trying to find the cause of. I’ve been feeling better every day for a couple of weeks now, thankfully, and I’ve been able to perform the basics of self-care, and even to do other tasks, which helps me feel even better. (Sitting around and doing “nothing” for more than a day is very uncomfortable for me.)

At first, though, I tried to fight through the discomfort and work as usual–until my guides finally managed to get it through my stubborn head that the best thing I could do for myself was sleep and rest. So for close to two weeks, that’s what I did exclusively: sleep, and sit around doing nothing but read, watch TV[1], or let my mind wander. Even while I’ve been feeling better, I have to take frequent rest breaks, which often includes reading. On my feeling-better days, I read nonfiction and spiritual work. On the days of low energy and mental power, I’ve read feel-good and entertaining books.

So, here’s what I have been reading over the past four weeks, in case you’re interested:

Your Life Is Your Prayer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Urantia Book

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bringers of the Dawn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Labyrinth: Your Path to Self Discovery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Breath of Snow and Ashes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earth: Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What have you been reading lately, and what are your thoughts about it?

 

Note

[1] In working our way steadily through our Netflix DVD queue (no streaming speeds at our home), our entire family (impressive, considering we have a four- and a seven-year-old) has fallen hard under the sway of the Netflix series Stranger Things. My husband and I have also been enjoying a former SyFy series, Defiance.

We’re in a storm that I have no control over, and so I’m angry. My guides tell me that I should control what I can, to help myself be less fearful and angry. If what I try isn’t successful, let it be, as something I can’t control.

    Thank you! I love book lists. I read Urantia last fall. Fascinating, though I found it rather skewed to a male, heterosexual point of view. I longed to hear more about how women held positions of power. What did you think? I didn’t get through the whole thing, but loved the overview of the epochs of earths’ creation.

      You’re welcome, Manda! I’m not very far into Urantia; I’m having a bit of difficulty with it, to be honest, because it absolutely does have that skew toward the male point of view. In what I’ve read so far, it also seems to have almost a Christian POV. Of course, I’m not sure if that’s because the supposedly channeled beings were working from the frame of reference of those to whom they were speaking, and this being in the ’50s, if I remember correctly…
      I have only just started into any text mentioning women in positions of power, so I don’t have thoughts on it yet. I think it’s one of those books that I’m going to have to read very slowly, digesting small bits at a time.
