BOOK PREVIEW: Demon: A Memoir by Tosca Lee 

Mrs. Reid (the Children's Librarian) from the Susquehanna County Library in Montrose, PA rec'ced (reccommended) this book to me yesterday.  Now, I know what you're thinking.  "That's not a book a "Christian" ought to be reading.   Au contraire, my friends, you should never judge a book by its cover.  Quite the opposite.  So long as its not what my husband calls "girl porn," its fodder for me to read.  (And let me assure you, it happens to be my own decision to abstain from that particular genre.)

I am super excited when authors who claim Christ put out interesting things to read.  Life is not all about hurt, disappointment, depression and anxiety.  This might be the case for some, but some of us lead fairly healthy lives and enjoy reading fiction that doesn't leave you bawling your eyes out for two weeks omw, never read Jeanette Oake and T. Davis Bunn, EVER straight

The first chapter totally has me hooked like a fat kid on bacon!  Not only did the mood and tone open in a dark and dismal way, the author allowed herself to step outside the normal physical description of a demon!  Bravo, Lee!  I cannot wait to download this onto my Nook!

At first, I thought maybe this week's blog post would end up more along the lines of bashing Creflo Dollar.  However, I was once again reminded that my thoughts about his recent visit to the Joint are irrelevant and how, really, I was not there, nor do I have all of the facts.  It would be within my and my readers' best interest to refrain from commenting on how I view this latest altercation and smear on Mr. Dollar's character.  So I actually listened to myself this time!  Good on me!

If you have any really GREAT reads, please forward them to me!  I intend for this newest to captivate me like those old Frank Peretti books did.  (Speaking of, have you allowed your children to read his Cooper Kids Adventure Series?  Please do!)
