The Reading Corner: Suggesting Books I've Read and Enjoyed

Peace Like a River by Leif Enger

      It's a story about a young boy, Reuben Land, who witnesses miracles through his father during a time of searching for his brother, Davy, who has recently gone on the run after committing murder. This novel covers the topic of faith, miracles, and family strength during moments of hardship and struggle. This novel is well-written and definitely a great novel that demonstrates the message of real miracles and the eternal love of a father. 




The Brother's Keeper by Tracy Groot

      It's a story about James, the half-brother of Jesus, and his siblings having to deal with the changes that Jesus' mission has brought on their lives. They care about Jesus, but they don't know whether they should accept that He is the Promised One from God, or some radical. It's a beautiful story that really brings out the personality and emotions from each individual person in the story (especially James). It's dramatic in certain parts, but there is also comical moments that brings a smile out. I love this book. I don't think I've ever read a fictional book as detailed as this author has done for this story.
