Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions
A very good read and since knowing friends with dementia and seeing the pain of not being able to remember or be taken seriously I have appreciated it even more. Well worth the time spent reading.
Elizabeth Is Missing: A Novel - Emma Healey
I enjoyed this novel because it was clean! Too many books nowadays like to shock and wade through a shallow story line with bad language and too much intimacy. We don't all appreciate this. The scarlet thread has a fairly typical story of family life...
The Scarlet Thread: A Historical Christian Novel
Having been recommended this book I went in search for it which I seldom do. I like to pick up books quite randomly usually and wait to be surprised. Now I have read three of Victoria Hislop's novels and have one waiting to be read. A good mix of sto...
The Island: Gripping Family Saga on Greek Isle
Another great book by Victoria Hislop. I've just finished it. It isn't just a typical novel but contains lots of cultural imagery and history although the boy meets girl element was a little predictable 😀. I loved imagining the Greek scenery and cul...
The Figurine by Victoria Hislop
Christian teaching
This book changed my thinking a lot. I was slow to get into it but by the end I thoroughly enjoyed it and underlined several statements and thoughts. Highly recommend
Finding God's Life for My Will: His Presence
An excellent book where Christine uses her own story to show that we shouldn't give up when it gets tough. Look for and pursue your God given purpose in life.
Undaunted: Daring to Do What God Calls You
I treated myself to this book not knowing anything about the author. I found it just right. Just enough to read every day to get me thinking but not overload my brain. If you're looking for a daily dose of Christian wisdom and insight, certainly try ...
You're Not Finished Yet: 100 Devotions
I heard the author of this book being interviewed about it on the radio and immediately went on Amazon and bought it. I highly recommend it. Anyone who is searching for answers or feels let down by their faith or a failure because of dark times...rea...
The Night Is Normal: Guide through Spiritual Pain
A good book using personal experience, biblical examples and lots of useful everyday examples to get the point across
Don't Look Back: Getting Unstuck & Moving Forward
Great book. Having to read it slowly because I want to take it in properly not just skim read. Really making me think about how I do everyday encounters with people and what is the reason I do what I do in church. Definitely don't read this book if y...
Passion: Pass It on
Non fiction
Loved the TV series, loved the books. Definitely a fan. Social history and drama and real stories told with feeling and understanding. For anyone who likes all the above in a medical setting.
The Midwife Trilogy by Jennifer Worth - Goodreads
I have recommended this book to many people. It not only shows how social attitudes and norms have changed over the decades regarding death but it illustrates beautifully how we shouldn't be afraid of death and that it is as natural as birth and life...
In the Midst of Life by Jennifer Worth
