Same Kind of Different as Me

Without a doubt, Same Kind of Different as Me is one of the most moving books I have ever read.  And, as a result, one of the best.  Most of what I read is fiction and those can be moving as well, but since this is a true story it makes it so much more real and tangible.  It is also an amazing testament to God’s plans for us even through the most difficult times in our life here on...

Book Review Roundup

It has been a while since I have reviewed a book here, and I have read a few recently so I thought a round up was in order.  For those of you who don’t know, I read mostly science fiction and fantasy for pleasure although I occasionally throw something else in there to mix things up.  I also read what most book stores would label “spiritual growth”.

One of my favorite...

Elantris

Last night I finished a book that I haven’t been reading on too long.  I bought it a couple weeks ago to take with me on one of my trips to Canada.  It’s always nice to have something to read on the plane.  The fact that I finished it within a few weeks is amazing considering my lack of time for reading recently.  Life has seemed really busy.  This was one of those books that...
