Four of the most excellent books I’ve read recently and whether or not you should read them too!

Jayber Crow, by Wendall Berry

Read this book if...

• You want to feel like you’re sitting on a rocking chair with your grandpa who is telling you stories that make you question your whole outlook on philosophy, religion, community, and empathy. 
• You want to re-read passages over and over again because they’re written so beautifully.
• "Faith puts you out on a wide river in a little boat, in the fog, in the dark."

Theo of Golden, by Allen Levi

Read this book if...

• You want to feel inspired by the goodness or humanity and the power that one individual can have over an entire community.
• “There is no virtue in advertising one's sadness. But there is no wisdom in denying it either."

My Friends, by Frederick Bachman

Read this book if...

• You love stories about chosen family and the power of friendship to change your life
• "The trick time plays is to lull us into the belief that everything lasts forever."

The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah

Read this book if...

• You enjoy Historical Fiction
• You want to bawl your eyes out
• You want to be immersed in the chaos and fear of WW2
• "Love. It was the beginning and end of everything, the foundation and the ceiling and the air in between."
