Book List-Recommended Reading
There I was, sitting on the train reading: “Blue Like Jazz” by Donald Miller and thinking “HEY maybe we can have a discussion on recommended books to read?” With 2 hours of commute time, reading has become more prevalent to me and I am always looking for great books to read.
The aforementioned “Blue Like Jazz” has been an AWESOME read so this is the first book I can recommend. How about everyone else? If you love to read - please share your favorite books that entertain, inspire, excite, and cause you to contemplate …
How Starbucks Saved My Life
Is an awesome book! The book club is just starting this book (plenty of time to start reading it before our next meeting on 10/21). It is an easy read but more importantly, it is hard to put down! I have just started it but I am already loving it! An amazing story of a man who lost everything and then his life gained meaning. Really well written.

Randi Wiesner gave me this book to read and I couldn’t put it down! The author has a unique way of writing from many different people’s perspectives. It would be a great book for Book Club—and I am pretty sure it had discussion questions in the back.
Between Two Worlds
“The inner lives of children of divorce” This is a remarkable book about the rise of the divorce culture and what happens to the children involved and how to deal with it. I come from an intact household but this really helped me to understand others.

Infidel
This autobiography gives a detailed picture of tribal african culture and Islam. Ayaan worked her way from Somalia to Amsterdam where she eventually was elected to the Dutch Parliment. Because she became disillusioned with Islam and started to speak out publicly against it she has had to live in hiding and under guard at all times. It is an amazing story that made me weep for women imprisoned in Islam.
By Ayaan Hirsi Ali
