Not Another Book?

As promised I have come back to share my concluding thoughts about the Shack By William Young. It took me over two months to read this book. Yet, I must admit that it is not because it is a poor read or even poorly written. Instead, this book has a deep message and many times I found my brain working in overload to understand all that I had read in just a single page. Often I re-read paragraphs trying to get the full context of what the author was sharing. Powerful. Insightful. Inspiring. Challenging. Although I don't agree with every thought or concept devised it has provided me with a great desire to hold a new perspective and to work hard to find the meaning outside of what I have originally thought. A look outside of the box, so to speak. Before you go out an pick up a copy here is my advice in regards to this book. Take your time. Prepare your mind to let go of what you have heard about this book. Believe that if you are meant to read this book it is because you need to learn

Please no series! Yes, there are great titles of books out there that are singles . For example if you are ready to explore and have time to leave your daily responsibilities idle Karen Hancock's "Arena" is your next read. I enjoyed the characters, found myself drawn to the possibilities, and was waiting on each turn of the page to know more. I know that there are those of you out there that skip, or even those that read the end of the book first. I urge you to avoid even reading the backcover . Venture in and let Karen take you on a journey that at times will bring you to tears and other times will make you read with all of the lights on! Then, as always, come back and share your view here with other readers and myself. James Scott Bell wrote a great paperback drug store read "Presumed Guilty " . Why call it that? Because it has all the findings: sex scandal, murder, mystery, and more. It is a Christian fiction read and one that keeps you guessing who is good

In the mood for a quick read? Need a little something that you can open the first page and just jump right into? Christy Barritt delivers this option in her new series "Squeaky Clean Mystery Series." The first book Hazardous Duty is a fun read that has you singing and hoping for more romance. I can hear the groans from those of you who are worried that this is a "chick" read. Christy offers much more than just romance in this novel. For more details visit her website: http://members.cox.net/christybarritt/index.htm. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, please return to notanotherbook and share your findings with me. Happy reading!
