Practical tools to navigate life.

Kate Bowler is great. No saccharine words about having God in your life fills the hole in your heart from grief and unfulfilled desire. Profound sentences mixed with laugh-out-loud gems. Wisdom.

Funny, interesting, quirky novel about an artist, his friend and lover, and his life.

Schmatzy, but well-written, clever, and feel-good.

A book of letters from and to a woman of 87 years. I was surprised what a good story I found in the correspondence.

Funny, insightful, and fun to read.

Full of gems.
