Latest Read

A friend casually mentioned this book, then in a phone conversation my sister raved about this book, AND then as I was reading it, I noticed it’s my book club’s book for February.

I LOVED the book!  Stephen came home late last night from playing volleyball and I was doing the ugly cry trying to read in between tears.  I think I freaked Stephen out because I’m not a crier.

It’s about a very wealthy man and a homeless man whose lives intersect.  

LOVEd this quote in it, “You never know whose eyes God is watchin’ you through”.  We are surrounded by so many people that God is using.  Sometimes WE are the means of helping others and answering their prayers, and most times we are the recipients of others’ love and service.  I can’t even count how many times others have answered my prayers through their actions.

Anyway, here is the Amazon link –Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together 

Really a GREAT book!
