Little Women (Signet Classics)
Louisa May Alcott
Signet Classics, 2004
The Sticking Together Sisters
Little Women is a story about four sisters who live with their mother. I thought it was a great story because it is really easy to figure out what they are doing in a jiff. The best part of this book is that it shows the characters have feelings and emotions that are ...

Sherrilyn Kenyon
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008

Devil May Care (James Bond)
Sebastian Faulks
Doubleday, 2008
Good to read you again Mr Bond
Certainly a page turner and Bond's enemy is reminiscent of the Goldfinger / Oddjob combination. It harks back to the 60's but with issues that are still prevalent today. It would be interesting to see if this got made into a film as certain aspects that draw the ...

Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith (Cover Image May Vary)
Rob Bell
Zondervan, 2006
A Great Mental and Spiritual challenge
It's funny how something that seems to be stating the obvious can seem so new. It's also unique to have a book that so firmly kicks you out of your comfort zone, yet somehow makes the landing soft and the flight - dare I say?- fun. This book has my small group ...

Ravi Zacharias
Thomas Nelson, 2008
Beyond A Doubt
I first came across Ravi Zacharias on TV conducting one of his Q&A sessions at a college. BEYOND OPINION follows the flow and substance of one of these sessions but with the kind of elaboration and elucidation that a series of 60-second sound bites does not allow. ...
