| Read for our local reading group. I think the idea behind the story is very good: putting a totalitarian regime in a European country at some unspecified time in the future. It shows situations that are horrifically similar to real events currently h ...more | |

The focus of the book is the song of the same title. Sung by Michael W Smith, it moved Brennan Manning deeply, and he wrote this as a devotional study of the words, and the theology behind them. The writing is inspiring and encouraging, with a few pe ...more |

| It took me a little while to get into this book, which is about a young woman who has a heart transplant, and her journey of emotional and physical recovery. The style feels a bit disjointed at first: Ailsa Rae writes blog posts, and these are altern ...more | |
