Love this book....I can pick it up at any time and just read one or two of the parables along with the commentary, which helps to uncover the content and layers of meaning that are in each parable. After the commentary the author has included a section called personal application in which we can apply in our own lives, the principles or spiritual truths of the parable. I learned quite a lot from just the Introduction of this book. ]]> 19896388 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 03:42:34 -0700 Review18362628 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18362628 Night (Paperback) by Elie Wiesel

Liked it but had a few mixed emotions about Mortensen. Fantastic guy with a big heart, giving, didn't give up, loved those he served, gave everything he had. I couldn't help but wonder about his family back home though. It also took me awhile to get through it and felt like some of the words that were used to describe things were just kind of weird. ]]> 19895574 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 02:13:00 -0700 Review18027480 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18027480 to: The Invisible Wall: A Love Story That Broke Barriers (Hardcover) by Harry Bernstein
I love reading about the life experiences of others and really enjoyed this book. The author was 96 when it was published! It's a memoir of his childhood and his experiences growing up in England, being Jewish and living on a street where Jews and Christians lived. It's about his family life, the lives of those who lived on his street and their interaction. I really felt for his mother, but then I was surprised at some of her behavior. I felt frustrated and wished things would have turned out different at times but thats the reality of life I guess. ]]>
