Ragamuffin Gospel

So many of my friends have read this book and reread this book. It has taken me till now to read it. It was well worth the wait. I have read many, many, many, Christian "self-help" books, and many i have questions and went "huh?" or "what did i just read?" or "seems i've heard all this before..." But this book was a challenge. It was hard to dig deep inside of myself and admit certain things to myself. But I did it. In order to have a better relationship with God, there are some things that I am going to have to understand that are difficult. But with God's grace and mercy, I can get through them, and this book helped me see that. No matter how broken and torn we are, God's grace and mercy is ALWAYS enough for us.

Cloak of the Light

I normally don't read books like this often. I don't read "sciency-y" or "supernatural" kind of stuff often. I seem to gravitate towards the "romance" novels or ancient egyptian-esque stuff. I know. call me weird. honestly, i was more drawn to the cover of the book than the title and the description, but i decided to give it a chance.  i was a little apprehensive at first, because, like i said, i normally don't read these kinds of things, but once it got into it, i actually enjoyed it. the story took a little bit for me to 'get' in to, but once it got going, the story started to take on a different dimension in a good way.
