I wanted a book on the Sabbath, and picked this one partly because I heard it was good and partly because one of my relatives wrote it! Although it could have been half as long, I enjoyed it and appreciated her views on Sabbath keeping. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77568790 Plum Spooky (A Stephanie Plum Between the Numbers/Holiday Novel, #4) by Janet Evanovich
A fun, light read about the adventures of a bounty hunter named Stephanie Plum. Odd characters, impossible situations, happy ending. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75739366 to: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Paperback) by Jonathan Safran Foer
This was a pretty weird book, but a really interesting storyline! From the perspective of a boy who loses his father on 9/11, finds a key in his dad's closet, and spends over a year searching for the lock it opens. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73636348 to: Searching for God Knows What (Paperback) by Donald Miller
]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64319734 to: The Robe (Paperback) by Lloyd C. Douglas
A cool historical fiction book about the Roman soldier who won Christ's robe after His crucifixion after how that changes his life. It's an older book, so reads a little slower and you should have a dictionary in your other hand. But like the Mark of the Lion series, you learn a lot about the time period immediately following Jesus' death and resurrection. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72420495 to: Hansi: the Girl who Loved the Swastika (Unknown Binding) by Maria Anne Hirschmann
My aunt sent me this book when she cleaned out her bookshelves when moving from Washington to Alaska. I have always enjoyed reading books about Christians who stood up for what they believed in during WWII (fav is The Hiding Place). This book was different because the heroine was a Nazi girl, who met Christ after the war ended. She was an amazing person who went through incredible ordeals and God protected her and saved her for His own. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16425105 Chrissy's review of The Pilgrim's Progress (Dover Thrift Editions)
by John Bunyan

Wow, maybe I need to reread this book. I read it in college because Earl Palmer at UPC always preached about it, but I thought it was super boring! :( ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72420518 to: Gilead: A Novel (Paperback) by Marilynne Robinson
]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64319265 to: The Right Attitude to Rain (Sunday Philosophy Club, #3) by Alexander McCall Smith
I bought this in Tanzania for the airplane ride home since I finished my other books. I adore his #1 Ladies Detective Agency series, but haven't really enjoyed his other books. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64319141 to: First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria: How a Peace Corps Poster Boy Won My Heart and a Third World Adventure Changed My Life (Hardcover) by Eve Brown-Waite
A light read, kind of fun but without much weight or spirituality. I picked it solely based on its title, which I love! ]]>
