Last month Susan Hanson talked about a number of ways that we choose books to read. The library staff likes when you come to the library and choose a book. Any book of your choosing, COME and LOOK, we have great books. Last week Susan got comfortable in the chair by the Art books. Time flies when you get involved with a book.

This month the library staff hopes you will be into books that are recommended by the folks that dust the shelves, they are up close and personal with the books and they find some very interesting books to read. Their recommendations are.

Char Weidenbach recommends, Grace of Silence by Michelle Norris.
Michelle Norris, who grew up in south Minneapolis, has been a co-host on NPR's All Things Considered. In the book she reveals some family secrets and writes of the struggles of her black family fitting in the white population. It's a good read.

Darla Maijala recommends, If God is Love by Phipip Gulley & James Mulholland.
The authors attempt to answer one question. What would our world look like if we took seriously God’s love for all people?

My question is: “What would our world look like if we could love all people as Christ asks us to?”

Marilyn Linquist recommends, Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall.
An art dealer meets a black man at a soup kitchen. This is a story of how and why they became best friends. Each able to help one another. From strangers to brothers.
Mrs Barbara Bush writes about Same Kind of Different as Me.
A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream. A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it. Denver Moor and Ron Hall’s story is one that moved me to tears. The friendship that forms between these two men at a time when both were in great need is an inspiration to all of us to be more compassionate to everyone we come in contact with. This is truly a wonderful book!

Susan Hanson recommends, Still Alice by Lisa Genova.
An Intimate story of Alzheimer’s disease with highly accurate and useful information. Many questions and concerns are answered that accompany unexplained memory difficulties, to the diagnosis and the impact and changing needs on relationships with family and friends. Still Alice is told from the point of view of Alice, who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s while a professor at Harvard. The book tells how she manages, with great difficulty, to hang on to herself.

Mary Peterson recommends, Take this Bread by Sara Miles.
Sara is a professional writer and an atheist. She becomes a christian in middle age and discovers a calling to become a serious activist for the poor. She saw a need and started several food pantries. This is a biography of a changed woman.

I also recommend, I am Bonhoeffer by Paul Barz, a well research novel.
I bought this book at the Holden Village Bookstore last summer. After attending classes on Bonhoeffer during the week visit at Holden.

Stop in the library and check out a recommendations.
