Men of Valor . . The Miracle of Forgiveness . . In the Name of Honor
So it has been a busy few weeks. Never a dull moment :) But I have been reading! And so far it has been amazing.
Men of Valor by Robert L. Millet was a book I enjoyed reading. It teaches a lot about what a man of God really is, and how we can all reach our full potential.
The Miracle of Forgiveness is a HEFTY read, but it is worth the journey. It talks about the real power of forgiveness and who it comes from.
In the Name of Honor is a book that I found while browsing the many book selfs at my parents house. I was nervous to read it because of the nature of its content. The authors explore a story deep in the heart of Pakistani culture. It's story of a woman who stood up for true honor even when everything was against her. It is a powerful story of how one woman is trying to get rights for Pakistani women. "Every hour in Pakistan, a woman is assaulted, beaten, burned with acid, or killed in the 'accidental' explosion...The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has recorded 150 cases of rape during the last six months in Punjab alone." Although hard to read at times, this book opened my eyes not only to the importance of womans rights, but also to how grateful I am to live where I live.
SOO...Four weeks down and four amazing books read! With my new Madison county library card hot off the press, the sky is the limit for summer 2011.
