Marilla of Green Gables: a novel by Sarah McCoy
my rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Sweet, wholesome, and decorous!! Sarah McCoy heeded Lucy Maud Montgomery's spirit in writing. I am honored to have read this novel. McCoy seamlessly writes of Marilla the way we are introduced to her in the Anne books. I thought it intriguing how the U.S. turmoil was added to the plot. Even more delighted that the twist reached a satisfying conclusion.
The Street Children of Brazil: One Woman's Remarkable Story by Sarah De Carvalho
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jesus is alive and He works through those who obey His call. I am enamored of Brazil and this book ended a slump of dreary books. It stirred such optimism in me to know that the street children of Brazil have a refuge. The transformations! I think when life becomes truly desolate, that's when the Lord shines even brighter. Many visions of heaven (and hell) were described in this book. Heaven, a gorgeous place full of eternal love, peace, and joy. Hell fit the expectations: people screaming and full of blood. I pray that the boys in this book have continued to prosper. All of them should be over 30 if they're still living. May the readers of this book endeavour to crusade for Christ!
I am proud that I read 123 books in 2020.
It saddens me that I have only completed 3 books so far in 2021. That's all right, hope has not surrendered.
Just move quicker!!
Hope Dies Last: Keeping the Faith in Hard Times by Studs Terkel
I don't know why but this book didn't engross me as I had anticipated. I am down for reading the anecdotes of obscure people but I am not certain as to why this book seemed unfascinating.
Maybe it was the wrong time to read it?
