Books Books Books!

Currently i am reading three books. None of them are amazing, but still able to read. One of them is Journey to Nowhere. I have read this book about five times, i don't know why, it isn't that amazing, but i just seem to keep reading it. Every time i start it over, i find a new detail that i never saw before.
Another book i am reading is, The Kidnapping of Christina Lattimore. It also is not too exciting. It seems like they are repeating everything they say two or three times just to call it 10 pages.
And yesterday i just started a new book called, Divine, by Karen Kingsbury. For being on page 41, it has a powerful beggining. It is about a lady who was once a drug addict who was abbused everyday by her hushband, she owns a shelter and tries to save other mothers that she was once like from wanting to kill themselves. Not only does she make a difference, but she also has started a chain in schools on the topic of abstinence by convincing kids to think twice.
On the back of the book, there is a phrase that really catches my attention. It reads,
"At the crossroads of her life,
only one power set Mary free
and gave her a lifetime of love and hope.
A power that could only be Divine."

This is one of the strongest few sentences I have ever heard in my life.
She really knows what she is talking about. She has suffered the pain and hardships that half the woman in America have, but instead of keeping quiet...she has exposed everything to the world. I respect her for that, the fact that she is strong enough to save other lives as well as her own makes her The Idol for all women.

I will keep you all updated on what happens. ;)


Bye-Bye :D
