Jane Harber Has Your Number

"Here...Have a Miracle" by Jane Harber is a real nuts-and-bolts approach to Chrisitianity. She touches on issues that we all struggle with. The sub-title, "Experiencing Rest & Refreshing in This Harried, Hurried World", says it all. It is a book from a woman who has experienced great sorrow and has come out on the other side. I appreciated her openness in the expression of her life. In seeing how she overcame these things in her life, I found hope for mine.

Finding Home by Jim Daly

By
Elaine Littau "author of Nan's Journey and El... (Texas Panhandle) - See all my reviewsJim Daly's book Finding Home was compelling. Although he never suffered physical or sexual abuse the other things he and his family endured were still things that no one should never have to endure. The fact that he grew up as a hopeful boy is remarkable to me. Every day people give up over less than Jim endured on one of his bad days. The part of the book that really resounded in me was his account of his mother's death. I suppose the reason was that my own sister died and left five children, the youngest being six and eight years old. I saw my nephews in that chapter as they suffered over their loss. No one could take the place of their mother. The difference was that Jim and his siblings had no one to hold them and tell them that all would be well. His narrative rang true in that he wrote the way a boy thinks. Boys can squeeze out joy in the middle of hard times as long as they have access to a bicycle or a ball and bat. This book emphasises the importance of people stepping in to make a difference in the lives of people that cross our path. Coaches, teachers, pastors, and friends are necessary for kids. We must be there to lend a listening ear and wise council. This book is a "must read".
