<p>Writer and editor Julia Roller joins Nate to talk about how God uses books to guide us into transforming ideas and encounters and shares about the book that changed her life.</p><p>Julia Roller is an author and editor living in San Diego, CA with her husband and three children. She is also the MomCo Coordinator at Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church. Julia's most recent book is <em>Mom Seeks God, </em>but some of her other books include <em>A Year with God </em>(with Richard J. Foster), <em>A Year with Aslan</em>, and <em>25 Books Every Christian Should Read. </em>Connect with her at her web site, <a href="http://juliaroller.com/">juliaroller.com</a>, or on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/julialroller/">Julia (@julialroller) </a>or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JuliaLRoller/">Facebook</a>.</p><p>Julia's suggestions for continued reading:</p><ol><li>In “How Should We Read?”, <a href="https://renovare.org/articles/how-should-we-read">Christopher Hall discusses some ways to slow down our reading</a> and ruminate over the text. I love that although Hall’s thoughts are inspired by a desert monk (of course they are, Chris!), one of his suggested techniques involves his smartphone.<a href="https://renovare.org/articles/how-should-we-read"> </a></li><li>I can’t think of anyone who’s written as much about spiritual reading as C.S. Lewis, and <a href="https://www.cslewis.com/a-reading-life/">Zach Kincaid’s “A Reading Life” post</a> on the official C.S. Lewis site is an admirable compilation of some of Lewis’s best thoughts about reading.<a href="https://www.cslewis.com/a-reading-life/"> </a></li><li>Lyle Smith Graybeal and I wrote “How to do Spiritual Reading”, <a href="https://renovare.org/articles/how-to-do-spiritual-reading">an excerpt from the introduction for <em>25 Books Every Christian Should Read</em></a>, to offer some practical ideas for spiritual reading as well as some reasons why we should all engage in it.</li><li><a href="https://renovare.org/articles/how-significant-books-become-good-friends">Richard Foster reflects on the books that shaped him as a young man</a> in this article from <em>Leadership Journal, </em>“How Significant Books Become Good Friends.” Many of these books made the cut for <em>25 Books Every Christian Should Read.</em><a href="https://renovare.org/articles/how-significant-books-become-good-friends"> </a></li><li>My discussion with Nathan inspired me to look critically at my own all-consuming reading practice. In examining my lifelong love of reading, <a href="https://www.juliaroller.com/is-reading-bad-for-you/">I had to ask the question: “Is Reading Bad for You?”</a> (See if you can guess my answer.)<a href="https://www.juliaroller.com/is-reading-bad-for-you/"> </a></li></ol>
