August Book List

I'm posting my book list early this month. I've already read the two books I planned on reading and have decided to commit the rest of this month to solely reading Gods Word.  So here is my short list.

Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me; Ian Morgan Cron.  A memoir ... of sorts. This was a really good book, it was hard to put down.  It made me laugh and cry.  It's Ian's story of growing up with an alcoholic father and his journey of becoming a man and father himself, and building a relationship with God.

The Help; Kathryn Stockett.  This book is set in the early 1960's and tells the story of black maids that work for the white families of the South. I LOVED this book!! And I can't wait to see the movie. I read it in 3 nights. It made me laugh, cry and everything in between.  I didn't want it too end, I wanted to know more about the characters.  And after learning about the author, you realize this story is based on her own life growing up during that time.  She did a great job writing this story and I highly recommend this book.
