Read more on the rails...

This is my official book review (the books I have read so far): I own all of these books if any one wants to borrow them...

The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion & Purpose - Matthew Kelly
It exposes the lifestyle challenges and problems that face us in this age obsessed with noise, speed, and perpetual activity. The message: Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do, or what you have. Are you ready to be the best version of yourself? Great stories, good sense of humor and has extraordinary insight on life.


A Christmas Promise #5- Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer

A minister who runs a mission in Central America decides to spend the holidays in Cape Light. But when he collides with another car, a hint of trouble befalls this close-knit community. No one is hurt, but lives are changed. Two unexpected people fall right into each others lives. Secrets, relationships and more. I cried, laughed and smiled a lot.


A Christmas Angel #6 - Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer

The spirit of the season is spreading through the rustic seaside hamlet of Cape Light, as residents prepare to celebrate the joy of the holidays. The town major receives an unexpected and precious Christmas gift when she finds a baby girl tucked away in a decorative cradle set up outside the church, with a note begging whoever discovers the child to take care of her. I cried, laughed and smiled a lot.


The Shack - where tragedy confronts eternity - William Young

Who wouldn't be skeptical when a man claims to have spent an entire weekend with God, in a shack no less? And this was the Shack. Four years after "the Great Sadness" happened to Mack he receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to the "shack" for a weekend. Ok I know it is a theme...but really I cried, laughed and smiled a lot. Very touching book and it made me feel so awesome...I love it. Many people I know loved it too. I even gave copies for Christmas.


Dewey - Vicki Myron

Ok I don't care what you say about me...but I really loved this book and laughed soo very much. Having a cat really makes you appreciate this book. How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library, save a classic American town. The story starts out so sadly...only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library. He wins the hearts of everyone and it just gets better. Give it a chance...really.


3:16 - the Numbers of Hope - Max Lucado

A twenty six word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything of the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder. The heart of human problem is the heart of the human. And God's treatment is prescribed in John 3:16

Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
Just starting this one tomorrow...I'll let you know about this later.
