A Great Book


Would you like to read a great, and I do mean, GREAT, book? Read Safely Home by Randy Alcorn. I can't put the thing down. It's WONDERFUL! Not to mention, a great eye-opener. It really makes you stop. and. think. Do read it. By all means, DO READ IT! I haven't enjoyed a book more. What's amazing is, I bought it at our Homeschool Conference in Winston-Salem. Out of the thousands of books, I was just browsing by a jumbled mess of books laid out on a table. A black cover with Chinese writing on the front caught my attention. Making my way through the packed area, shouldering, slipping and sliding to avoid hitting anyone, I got there, picked it up, and flipped through it.
"Hm...looks interesting."
I wasn't sure if I should buy it...it was probably boring anyway. Finally, I shrugged, tucking it under my arm and heading towards the stand to pay for it.
"Who cares. Let's just try it. If I don't like it, I can sell it on E-bay."
After I bought it, I went out into the bustling convention center and found myself a little corner. Dropping the back-breaking bag from my shoulder, I slid down against the wall, pulled out the book and my water bottle, and began to read, ignoring the blur of people rushing by and the humming chatter of voices. Within the first two and a half chapters, I was hooked! Please read it!!!
