It was good to see you today. :) I was just...Hi! It was good to see you today. :) I was just catching up on your blog and you said a few things on this post that I wanted to respond to. First of all, I thought you looked thinner today, so your working out must be making a difference. :) Also, while I was in the States I read some of my mom's new books by Lynn Austin. They're wonderful historic fiction. I read the Chronicles of the Kings which is mostly about Hezekiah. It really made me want to dig into Chronicles and check out the stories in there, which is saying a lot, I think. Also, I read her series about the Civil War. It's three books, one from the perspective of the South, one from the North, and one from a slave perspective. They were really well-written and engaging too.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119381979690831376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-19516563891156163072008-09-14T07:45:00.000+03:002008-09-14T07:45:00.000+03:00The Shack is great ~ already mentioned a couple of...The Shack is great ~ already mentioned a couple of times.<BR/>I just started Blue Like Jazz.

It's all about his rise to the top of the ladder and what God taught him as he watched his company go through bankruptcy. A fascinating and very honest book that reminds us of what really matters in life.

I would also recommend the book *The Faith Club.* It's a memoir written by a Christian, Muslim, and Jewish woman.
