![]() The struggles they both experienced in life to reach their goals had one common thread. ![]() Yet, their differences were only one facet of this great story. Archer's tale is one of two men, born at the same time (early1920's) but worlds apart physically, emotionally, and financially.

This poor, plain, arthritis ridden heroine is saddled with the callowest cad in H-dom and a future snobby SIL from hell. ![]() The author wrote, in an October 26th, 1813 letter to her sister, Cassandra, “I am not at all in a humor for writing I must write on till I am.” The best writing advice, Donna believes, comes from the letters of Jane Austen. A long walk is her favorite exercise, and a fruity merlot is her drink of choice when the tea is all gone. Karaoke offers her the chance to warble Dionne Warwick tunes, and nature is a constant source of comfort and inspiration. ![]() Besides writing romance and mystery novels and reading the same, Donna has a long list of passions: cats and tea, cooking and vintage cookware, cross-stitching and watercolor painting among them.

To Lewis, Christianity is more than a fairy tale it is a perfectly reasonable conclusion for a thinking person to draw in the face of moral questions. Even though I came to disagree with some of his theology, I still find a lot of value in his moral arguments. Why you should read it: This was one of the first Christian books I read as a child, and many of the points Lewis makes here have stayed with me into adulthood. It’s a philosophical step-by-step journey from moral knowledge to faith. Lewis tries to convince us that there is a God and that Jesus is His revelation to humanity. Here are five that are definitely worth picking up and looking into.ġ.

The copy was the forbidden fruit of our Catholic elementary school, conservative in its approach to sex education in the 1990s. The copy was dog-eared, tattered, and its spine and cover had been taped back together at least a dozen times. My elementary school library shelved one copy of Judy Blume’s Are You There God?
