Books We've Read

  • C S Lewis: Surprised By Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

    C S Lewis: Surprised By Joy: The Shape of My Early Life
    "Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul," wrote Herman Melville, "I get to sea." Whenever it is November in MY soul, I reread C.S. Lewis. This November I'm rereading Surprised by Joy, and once again, it is a welcomed tonic and delightful surprise. Lewis is articulate, transparent, and so human; I always come away refreshed and encouraged to give whatever I'm currently facing "one more college try." This book is the story of his conversion, and re-reminds me: if there's not joy in my life, I'm not finding Jesus on a daily basis. Highly recommended. (*****)

  • Jacqueline Winspear: Maisie Dobbs

    Jacqueline Winspear: Maisie Dobbs
    On the lighter side, history buffs who have enjoyed the BBC's WWII series "Foyle's War," (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, order it TODAY on Netflix!) will enjoy a similar written series by Jacqueline Winspear on Maisie Dobbs, also the title of the first book. Dobbs is a former WWI nurse turned detective. Intriguing, enlightening and well-written. (****)
