Books! :)
I dont think I have any pics to go along with post- which is usually what determines what I write about. This post I just wanted to write about a few books I have read as of late. I have read some really great things lately and I am so excited to share them! The first one that I read recently was called " The Debt" by Angela Hunt. Wow!! Such a good read!! I was so blown away by this book- it had to have been the Lord that made me pick this out of all the others at the library- its exactly what I have been feeling about ministry and church- we need to start thinking outside our four walls and get our eyes off of our needs and look at the needs of others!! I guarantee you will not regret reading this one! Also if you like non-fiction, I read, a long time ago, the book about the Jewish Dr who was forced to work in the concentration camp in Auschwitz- it is called "Auschwitz" by Miklos Nyiszli. A hard read in the fact that its just very descriptive, but a pretty short book- only about 200 pages. Also, I have to bring up "The Hunger Games" series. I usually never get secular fiction, just b/c sometimes it can be just as bad a rated R movie. But I had heard so much about this series that I wanted to check it out- it was actually the first book i bought on my nook last year. I couldn't put it down and within like a 5 day period I had bought and read all three and have read them all a few more times each since. These books are pretty gory- in a war- like way, not in a blood and guts, scary movie way. I am really looking forward to the movie adaptation of the first book, but kind of dreading it at the same time- as we all know the movie never does the book justice, and I have a feeling this one will definitely fall into that category. I am currently reading 3 books ( eeek!! what am I thinking!!) one that my father in law gave me called "Comes a Horseman" which is pretty good, but kind of creepy. I am also reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe- a classic, that I finally got around to picking up. And lastly, Thad and I are reading "Mein Kampf" by Adolph Hitler. I am so interested the the world war II era for some reason and love reading things from that time period. I can tell this is going to be a hard read- its long and he was a very intelligent man, and writes that way, but I have always wanted to read it- so here it goes! Anyways, hope one of you guys will pick one of these up and enjoy them!! What are you all reading now- what books do you recommend??
