"The Last Lecture" was written by a man dying from pancreatic cancer. It sounds sad, and it is, but the lessons he shares are so heart-warming and worthwhile.
"The Hiding Place" is a true story about a women trying to survive during the Hitler years--I won't give too much detail in case you would like to read it. I was inspired and enjoyed it enough to rent the movie. I hope to watch it tonight. I'm on a roll, so if any of you have read some great books lately, please let me know. I would love to read them!!Be Nice to People,
Julie

Thanks for the review on The Last Lecture. I've never read that. I love The Hiding Place book and movie.
Blessings,

I haven't read either of those, but will put them both on my list. I haven't really read to much lately that was really note worthy, but if you haven't read the Shack, you must! I also like Greg Iles and Dan Brown.
Love, love your background! Hope your daughter is feeling better!
Loved The Hiding Place. When the movie came out the main character was played by Jeanette Cliff George. She now has a Christian Theater Group in Houston and we've been fortunate to see several of her productions. I think you will enjoy the movie.
The only thing better than a good book is TWO of them!
I've read a bunch so far this summer as well and it's so restorative. Some recent favorites include a few Karen White titles, anything written by Jodi Picoult, The Widow's War (think colonial ere coastal New England), Emilie Richards books, Galway Bay (about potato famine era Ireland and one family's epic journey to America...
Two old favorites about women and their friendships: Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons and The Saving Graces.
Happy Reading, Julie!
I'll have to read The Last Lecture. Haven't read that one. But the Hiding Place?????? I think I've read it a million times over and never cease to be amazed at the strength shown there! Haven't seen the movie, though, and will have to do that!
Thanks so much for your encouragement today in your comment on my blog!!!! It was such an inspiration to me!
Can't wait to see those finished projects, especially the pin cushions!!!!!
I recently reread The Hiding Place. It's a wonderful book. When I was about 14 the author Corrie ten Boom came and spoke at our church. She was quite old and feeble looking and I thought (in my teenage mind) that she would be pretty boring, but she captivated the attention of everyone in the room, and I definitely learned that day not to judge a book by it's cover (literally). :-)
Blessings,

I've heard of both. I've been wanting to read "The Hiding Place." I should make it a point to do so!
