(and so glad that I feel like I have a new "e" friend via the West Point Moms (in my case , hopefully some day West Point Mom,) The story about the books...well, last Fall I gave my 14 year old "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall...and asked that he read a chapter a day so that we could talk about it...it was AMAZING!!! The conversations tha we had are priceless and I will forever remember them! I don't know if you've read it but it's one of those "forever etched in my memory" moments with my son! Keep writing!!!

The story is wonderful and the characters are lovable and unforgettable. Plus, you'll love all the big, super-spiffy-vocabulary words too.<br /><br />I didn't want it to end.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy it too!<br /><br />Geralin Thomas (@metrozing on Twitter)gthomas@metropolitanorganizing.comhttp://www.metropoitanorganizing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350347085643474067.post-70218467237424536092009-06-23T12:30:07.033-04:002009-06-23T12:30:07.033-04:00Sounds like Aaron is letting his appetite speak fo...Sounds like Aaron is letting his appetite speak for him.

I read Three Cups of Tea earlier this year and also liked it.

I have been on the waiting list for that at the library for stinking ever. <br /><br />Part of me would say read the book about Afghanistan. After reading the Khaled Hosseini books, that country has made a little nest in my heart.<br /><br />I have followed the story of W. Hodding Carter on NPR, and his book does sound really interesting. I read an excerpt in a magazine and thought of getting it for Tim.<br /><br />Any book about travel AND cooking makes me salivate.<br /><br />But, if I had to choose only one, I would go with "Peace Like a River." I have been wanting to read that one, too. I mean, if someone says it's the best book of their lives, you should probably go with it. <br /><br />Please let us know which one you do read next. (And I can't believe I beat Meredith to commenting on a post about books!)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867554371115672431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350347085643474067.post-32327257539301733812009-06-20T14:41:20.047-04:002009-06-20T14:41:20.047-04:00Thanks Jules!

It was encouraging to me. You can get it at the library. I'm also still on my 5th reading of Created To Be His Helpmeet by Debi Pearl. Have you seen any of the books at Lamplighter Publishing? Awesome books - not cheap, but GREAT books. I'll loan you some on the condition you give me your credit card to make sure I get them back! :o) Do you know about the ladies at Proverbs 31.org? One is a friend of mine from my college days. Their devotionals are so encouraging to me. Most have books out as well. Happy reading! <br /><br />Juliesweetteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416813753776467750noreply@blogger.com
