January Book Review

The Path of Lonliness by Elizabeth Elliot- Not a good book to read alone in public or you'll get the "ohhh SAD!!" look from everyone around you. Best book of the year! It's about dealing with singleness and how to view it as a gift from God and not a curse. I really liked Elizabeth's opinions and scripture references. Amazing!

A Single Shard - This children's book is about a boy who lives in like 5th century korea. It starts out really slow and boring, but turns out to be like a Shawshank Redemption-- Great ending.

The View From Saturday- Children's book. It was alright. Nothing to write home about.

Prince Caspian- I love C.S. Lewis so of course I loved this book. It's part of the Narnia books and in it the kids from the wardrobe return to Narnia to find it completely different from when they left. Lots of good Christian undertones and hidden references to scripture.

Caddie Woodlawn- kids book- Sounds like it was going to be the most boring book of all time, but was great. Much better than Little House on the Prairie.

The Penderwicks- kids book-- was alright. About 4 crazy sisters who chase rabbits and boys; my sisters are much much much stranger so I thought these girls were kinda boring.
