I finished another book

Thursday, July 29, 2010
Everyone in the book challenge is aware that this is the final week.  I have managed to read 3 books that fit the challenge criteria, although they weren't the only ones I read.  My final book is a First Year summer read Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom.  It would be a quick read if it weren't dealing with some very tough issues.  But the author handles them with sensitivity and compassion.  The book purports to be about two men, but it's really about three.  Even though it's short, Have a Little Faith, abounds with those themes which we have all wrestled with at one time or another and which keep popping back in our lives in different shapes and sizes even when we think we're through with them.  The themes include, acceptance, forgiveness, faith, death, dying, poverty, God.  In otherwords, this book will not be dated in 10 years, unlike other popular nonfiction. If you liked the author's earlier works, this book fits snugly into that pattern.   At our library, you can find this book at BM 729.F3 A496 2009.  Read it fast or slow, but read it.
