A good read

So, I was stuck without reading material. WHAT???

I really enjoy Patterson, Koontz, Johannsen, etc., but every now and again, I completely change things up and look for a good, uplifting, cleansing sort of book.

I was a little hesitant about the book suggested by a very young salesperson at the local Christian book store. It looked a little 'simple,' but she was truly enthused about it, so I figured I would brush aside my pre-conceived stupidity and give it a shot.

Sometimes, God truly works in wonderfully mysterious ways.

This is the first paragraph of the foreword of the book. If this does not sum up what I am all about and what I believe, I don't know where else I'd find it. Absolutely SPOT ON!!

"People who really want to make a different in the world usually do it, in one way or another. And I've noticed something about people who make a different in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren't determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they're satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world."

Oh how I adore a good read!
