Behind the Beautiful Forevers.

My Dad gave me this book to read.  It was another truly story about a family living in a dump.  Another fascinating story, one that will make you cry.

Finding Hope

I heard Michael Wicox talk at Time our For Woman and really liked him.  This book was short and sweet.  Hope is really something that you have to have.  He explains why.

2 Kisses for Maddy

I found this book at a Book Fair and it looked like my type of book.  It was (besides the swearing).  I true story of a man who loses his wife after delivering a premature baby.  He talks about love and loss.  I cried.

The Rent Collector by Camron Wright

A friend recommended this book.  It is based off a truly story of a family living in a dump in Cambodia.  Life is simple for them.  You find recycling... you eat.  You find clothes... you wear them.  And then the main character learns to read.  And her life changes.  Loved this story.

A Daughter of Han

 My Mom recommended this book to me.  I love China, and she knew that.  It was a very interesting story, of life back in the 1800's.  Very sad events that happened in her life.  But it was also a slow book.  I would give it 3 stars.

Surviving Hitler by O. Hakan Palm

My mother reccomended this book to me.  She read the whole thing in a few days and couldn't put it down.  My husband and father then read it and so it came highly recommended.  This is the first WWII book that I have read from a Jewish solders point of view.  As well as a rich, privileged Jewish woman.  These two find eachother and find The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It's a love story and a very sad story. 

The Peacegiver by James L. Ferrell

My mother gave me this book for Christmas and I had it sitting on my shelf for way too long.  My sister Josett called and told me that she finished it and LOVED the book.  And now I can say that I do too.  This is a book where you need to have a notebook next to you as you read.  I learned so much about the atonement of Jesus Christ. 
Things I learned;   We all need to forgive.  Not forgiving is a sin, since what we do to other we are in aspect doing to Christ.
We all need never judge.  They who judge are no better then the people they are judging.  For if we were perfect as Christ we would love everyone uncontrollably.
We need love our neighbors.  That is a commandment.  Doing nothing is NOT loving.
