This is a little bit of a different book – but brilliant especially since this is kind of how I write! Wow, I didn’t think anyone else had chains of thought the same way I did. Hilarious and a tear jerker within a page – I am not nearly that talented unfortunately, but Don, you [...] Continue reading more about A Million Miles in a Thousand Years | By Donald Miller She had been married just short of 40 years when he died. I know we all deal with grief but she writes quite succinctly about the way her mind worked or didn’t work in different situations; how she would avoid areas of town where they had lived or restaurants they would frequent.

The author is honest and writes of some great teaching moments even though his black and white attitude to everything, for me, was annoying and prideful. He does acknowledge that his parents were the reason [...] Continue reading more about The Last Lecture By Randy Pausch When I first read the parable of the prodigal son I always felt more drawn to the older brother. Conventional wisdom told me that I was wrong and that the story is about the younger brother. Well Mr. Keller has helped me further define it all. It is a story about redefining sin, hope and [...] Continue reading more about The Prodigal God – Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith By Timothy Keller |
