There
is something eternal about a really good book. No doubt some
books are as spiritually fulfilling as skimming the TV Guide,
but there are others that stir you, and keep your attention long
after you’ve
closed the cover on their final page. Religious or secular, fiction
or non, special books can carry us beyond ourselves and offer
a glimpse of another way, another reality. Great writing hands
us
a shovel and helps us unearth possibilities where before we saw
only wasteland, or perhaps didn’t bother to look at all.
The
five book titles listed below come from various genres. Their
authors tell different stories, with voices formed from diverse
experience.
Yet they all reflect a creative spark that can ignite the reader’s
imagination. Perhaps from this short list you will find a book
to accompany you on your last days of summer, one that will stay
with you through the fall, helping you see in ways that open
your eyes anew.
