So I told you last week I was reading a book called Rena's Promise. I am incredibly intrigued by World War II. I think it is the idea of our country working together for the cause, the clothes and maybe the fact that my Pappa was a veteran of this particular war. At any rate, I find myself constantly reading books from this time period.
Rena’s Promise is the story of a Holocaust survivor and her sister. The two spent almost the entirety of the war in Auschwitz. This type of WWII book tends to be depressing, but this one was more of hope and the endurance of the human spirit. While there were definitely devastating portions of the book, it was nice to read about not one but two survivors. If you are going to read a book about the Holocaust, I would definitely recommend this one.
After finishing a book like that, I felt like I needed something a little more upbeat. So last night I started reading It's All About Him by Denise Jackson wife of country music superstar Alan Jackson. So far it is refreshing to read that one of my favorite men in country music is a believer. Not only does this book cover the ups and downs of the couple’s marriage, but so far it has had quite a bit of emphasis on the relationship with the Holy Spirit. I am excited to read it and will definitely share my thoughts on it once I am done.
I am so excited to be able to share with you all what I am reading. It has been so long since I have been able to read for fun that I feel like a drug addict, I just can’t get enough. HAHA!
