Yes. It's thought-provoking and moving, I found myself with tears in my eyes towards the end. But it is full of hope and I've underlined lots of paragraphs that contain great theology and beautiful expressions of God's love. It'll be one of those books I'll need to read again (and maybe again and again) to let it soak in. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to give it a try!

I was encouraged that a book with such an obvious Christian theme won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction (2005).

wow. Ok, I will check it out. Thanks!

His Beloved Melody, looking at the phrase under your forum name you might like this quote from 'Gilead' ;

"There are two occasions when the sacred beauty of Creation becomes dazzingly apparent, and they occur together. One is when we feel our mortal insufficiency to the world, and the other is when we feel the world's mortal insufficiency to us. Augustine says the Lord loves each of us as an only child, and that has to be true.'He will wipe the tears from all our faces.' It takes nothing from the loveliness of the verse to say that is exactly what will be required."

neat. I saw that quote on a t shirt in the mall and loved it! Thought it was great.

How "Not" To Live Abroad by Shaun Briley
The experiences of this British couple in Spain are very funny,but also much food for thought,for those who may be considering a move to another country.

Done with Bluest Eye...
Now completing The Polished Hoe by Austin Clarke...Amazing story.

Polished Hoe was great. Sad, but great.

I read Love in the Time of Cholera after that and I'm trying to go through the Purpose Driven Life.

I missed a few days...

Other wise I borrowed HeMotions from my bf since I didn't read it after I bought it for him.

I'm reading those two alternately.
