Bookworm

I love to read. Before my 10 day vacation I asked a friend for some book recommendations because I wanted to "get lost in a story" while I was on the cruise. Based on her recommendations, I decided to read "Same Kind of Different As Me" by Ron Hall. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loved the movie or book "The Blind Side" as it is a somewhat similar TRUE story about a family welcoming a homeless man into their family. It will touch your heart. This was just the kind of book I wanted to read while on vacation.

Another book she recommended was "Little Bee" by Christ Cleave. I read reviews on the book and was very intrigued by it even though it didn't give hardly any detail about what the story was about but everyone spoke very highly of the book so I decided to read it. Amazing book! I can't really share any more than that except it's about a little African girl. That's all I'm saying. I thought of my sweet Ruth the whole time I read it.

 

Yesterday I started reading "Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families & Churches" by CJ Mahaney. It's a book that has been on my Amazon wish list for a long time. I am so excited about reading this book. I think this is probably a must read for ANY Christian. One line that stands out to me so far was this, "It struck me that this question betrayed what most of us tend to view as really important when it comes to sonship: traceable genetic makeup." This was in regard to people asking his family if the boys they adopted from Russia were "really" brothers? I think David Platt got a lot of his inspiration for his adoption messages from this book so I'm looking forward to reading it.

 

Anyone have any books they would like to recommend to me, recommend away!
