J'ai Lu, Juillet 2009

My reading habits have begun to lack. But not in quality, simply in quantity.
In July, I read only one book. I read it in about 4 days. And then simply didn't hammer through another one for the rest of the month of July. I really, still, cannot conceive how this is possible, but this is just how it happened.

The Poisonwood Bible (Kingsolver) – A fictional novel about a family who are missionaries to The Congo. Written like journals from the perspectives of the mother and four daughters, Kingsolver effectively transports you to a different place and time, and leads you to connect with these women. This is not a happy ending. But I dare you to read it and find the Gospel in the unexpected places, not where it is expected. And that is what makes this book beautiful. (10)

Read this. You can borrow it from me. You may not like it. We can talk about it.
