I recommend Standing on the Promises by Christina Whitaker. You can find it on amazon.com. Very excellent book to read and have in your library of books.

Hi everyone! I'm Connie from Northern Virginia, but originally from Cali. So many books and authors, so little time! I like Jodi Piccoult, John Grisham, Carol Joyce Oates, David Baldacci, & Paulo Coelho just to name a few. I look forward to discovering new favorites here.
Hello, all! My name is Ericka. I reside in Columbus, Ohio. I have a lot of favorites, but my all-time favorite are all books from J. California Cooper.
Hello All, my name is Courtney Taylor. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I couldn't wait to get this book in my hand, and I finally did so today! I love to read...anything, mainly non-fiction, but this upcoming year I plan to expand my genre of selections.
Hello! My name is Crystal, and I am from Guam, originally from California. The Bible is the most important book in my life, but I love all types, especially Asian literature and Christian nonfiction.
Hello! I'm Mitsy from Greenville, SC. My favorite author is Ted Dekker. My favorite book depends on the genre. Right now my favorites would be Evan Burl and the Falling and Chanel Bonfire.
Hi.I'm Dee from Newcastle upon Tyne UK.

Hello! My name is Nikki. I love immersing myself in a good book. I enjoy lots of different genres, but tend to read a lot of non-fiction. I'm excited to finally be a part of a book club & meet like minded book worms! Please feel free to add me :-)
My name is Yolanda and I am a Floridian.
Hi,My name is Ashleigh, I'm a Zimbabwean living in London and pining for the sun.
I love to read (obviously) and will usually try anything once. This has lead me to discover I do not enjoy science fiction and am too cowardly to read horrors.
My favourite authors are too many to mention but I love Philip Roth, Margaret Atwood, John Irving, Kate Atkinson, Maggie O'Farrell, Rohinton Mistry and V.S Naipaul.
I am so looking forward to meeting lots of like-minded individuals with exciting book recommendations.

..." Hi, Vicki from Champlin, MN
hi I am Sarah, from the south wales valley's.u.k. I don't have a favourite author but I do have a passion for reading. I am currently reading Hunger Games
My name is Karri and I'm joining from Dallas, Texas. My favorite author is subject to change, but I'm currently loving the dark and twisty stories that Gillian Flynn can dish out. ("Gone Girl" inspired me to read everything of hers that I could find.)
Hi, I'm Malik from Brooklyn, NY. My favorite author is Ngugi wa Thiong'o of Kenya, currently a professor at the University of California. I have long been inspired by the way he melds the personal and the political and shows our lives to be so much more than many of us consider them to be. I was fortunate to spend a year in Kenya and meet Mzee wa Thiong'o before he was forced into exile. His personal story is truly inspiring as well. I'm looking forward to sharing with the members here.
Hi, I'm Kerstin from Hamburg, Germany. I don't have a favorite author (they change quIte a lot), but at the moment I enjoy crime and historical fiction.
Hello My name is Tanesha Hampton and I am an author of erotica, Its called "Marcella's Sexxual Lava". I live in Atlanta,Ga. I love to read Romance Novels and also self help books...Powerful, Inspirational books helps get my day started... any suggestions would be great! Thank You
My name is Heather and I'm from Worcester, MA (about 40 miles west of Boston). My favorite author is a toss up between Stephen King and Chuck Palahuniuk, but I will read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. My favorite book is Shoeless Joe by WP Kinsella.I've been a book worm since I first learned how to read and used to read 3 or 4 books at a time when I was kid - literally, I would sit on my bed surrounded by the books and read a few pages at a time from each one. I had to stop "fun" reading for awhile during grad school, but now that I've graduated, I think I'm making up for lost time!
Jessie wrote: "I'm Jessie from Worcester, Massachusetts. Like many bibliophiles, I can't pick one favorite book - but there are three novels that I will go back and re-read many, many times - Jane Eyre by Charlo..."I'm from Worcester too!
Carol from Vail, AZ. I'm the mother of two daughters and wife. I work more than 40 hours a week. I love to get some reading done when I workout before work in the morning and on the weekends. I'm excited to be in my first book club and look forward to discussing this book with you all.
My name is Marianne and I am also a good-reads author!I am a reader and writer from Manitoba, Canada.
I used to read books to escape reality, now I read books that can teach me something. My favorite genre is memoir, or anything that is based on a true story. I have read most of the books on Oprah's Book clubs and hope to finish them all.
My inspirational memoir actually begins with one of Oprah's comments that she made during live television a few years ago. Her comment made such an impression on me that I began to look at my life different, which is why I ended up writing my story. I hope that one day she will honour me by checking out my survival story, but i also recognize that there are many other people just like me, and as long as I make a difference in the average day person's life (by inspiring them), than that is more than I can ever hope for.
BTW - I cant wait to read Twelve Tribe Hattie
Hi guys, my name is Nicole, and I currently live in Portland, Or. My favorite author would have to be Jodi Picoult, I am always sucked into her complex plots and thought provoking topics, as well as the great quotes and writing she providea. I am also in love with the book, The Poisonwood Bible.
