Book Discussion Group

This summer I'm attending a book discussion group at Irving Bible Church's, through their Tapestry  ministry. http://tapestryministry.org/    Tapestry is a ministry that focuses on serving families as they travel the adoption and foster care journey.

The name of the book we're discussing is the Connected Child by Karyn Purvis and David Cross.   For me this book is/was a page turner, I seriously couldn't put it down from the moment I started reading it.  Believe me when I say I'm not a "big" reader, and I surely don't underline/highlight pages unless something really JUMPS out at me.

But, with this book I was underlining/highlighting like crazy and saying to husband, "Oh wait, I've got to read this to you", or "wait, you've got to read this".  I'm telling you, it's great!

I really do believe this book is a must read for anyone, no matter if your adopting, thinking about adopting or if all your children are biologically yours.  It's just that good.  From those that I've talked to that have also read this book feel exactly the same way.

Another good book is supposed to be.... Anatomy of the Soul by Curt Thompson, but this one is a harder read.  It's next on my list.  I'll let you know what I think.

Anatomy of the Soul: Surprising Connections between Neuroscience and Spiritual Practices That Can Transform Your Life and Relationships
