Elantris

Author: Brandon Sanderson
Summary: The once great gods are now damned for all eternity. In days of old, people at random from all over the land were selected by The Shaod to join the ranks of the gods to live with them in the city of the gods; now they are sent to live in the city with the damned.
Review: Begin a book with a bang! or a curse! Sanderson has an intense ability to create nail-biting action and attachment to the characters. If you are like me, always worried about picking up a book that might have racy scenes or just plain and flat-out porn inside, look no further, Brandon Sanderson has the perfect recipe for a clean fantasy book you will not be able to put down!

My Brother’s Voice

An amazing true story of the survival of Stephen Nasser, called Pista, a 14 year old Hungarian boy through the Holocaust. Swept away with his older brother Andris to Auschwitz the two inspire and care for each other. Even after death the older brother continues to look after little Pista, his younger brother. Unable to put the book down I found both inspiration and education as well as a profound gratitude for the bonds of family.

The Hiding Place

The ultimately inspiring story of a Christian family who sheltered Jews during the Nazi occupation in Holland. Because of this, they suffered the worst consequences imaginable ~ incarceration and death in the concentration camps. Corrie ten Boom is my example of extreme courage and extreme forgiveness, because after miraculously surviving, she became even stronger in her faith, faced those who killed her family, and forgave them completely.
