My opinion on books I am curently reading
Harry Houdini, the greatest escape artist, was able to get out of every jail they put him in.
In order to get publicity when his show goes into a town, he would go to the town’s jail and have the police lock him up. He breaks out within minutes, without fail.
I like to read biographies written for children. They give me a quick overview about famous people.
The latest one I read is about Johann Gutenberg. He changed the world with the movable type, the father of modern printing. He gave the masses access to books.
I, along with a few from my church, went to a family conference at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills a couple of weeks ago. I learned a lot plus got this free book!
The book is not theological and it’s not theoretical. It’s meant to be very practical by laying out some very specifics things parents…
I remember reading Joni’s life story when I was in high school. She was an inspiration to me to be more committed in pursuing God.
I saw Joni & Ken live in person last year when she spoke at Mandarin Baptist Church. She was amazing and continues to inspire.
I like to read biographies of famous people from the children section of the library. The easy reading highlights interesting facts about well-known people that are not so well-known to me.
At dinner one day, while my family was talking about games to play in the swimming pool, we asked the question, “Why is that…
Whenever we go to the library, I look for a mystery book. I picked up Mistletoe and Mayhem because the setting is the 1800s in the UK. The cover drew my attention; it says, “Never Before Published!” Aren’t most books never before published? Is it a good thing to be never before published?
I’ve read this before, but The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis is certainly worth reading again, and again.
I took it off my shelf because my friend mentioned that Max McLean did a sketch of one of the scenes from the book. I started to read the book again, and couldn’t put it down.
It’s time to read another mystery for my entertainment, so I picked out The Nine Tailors from the local library.
I was not disappointed. Always loved Sayers writings. However, I don’t understand a lot of the cultural context. For example, there are many references to bell ringing of church bells – pealing. I just skip the parts that give details of the art of ringing.
I needed some mindless reading, and my genre of choice is a good whodunnit mystery.
Remember that old TV show Murder She Wrote? I read one of the books “Domestic Malice”. The writing is not particularly great, but the basic storyline is decent. It’s easy reading, and while it is not a page-turner, it at least kept my interest. The ending had a bit of a twist but nothing very intriguing. Wishing again that Agatha Christie was alive…
The full title is “Since nobody’s perfect… How is good enough?” This is a small booklet that is packed with great stuff, much more than I expected.
“The logic behind good people go to heaven is seemingly impenetrable on two accounts. First, it is fair. By fair, I mean people who do good deserve good…
