I Am A Follower

I Am a Follower: The Way, Truth, and Life of Following Jesus by Len Sweet is quite thought provoking. I think that most people are comfortable with the word and concept of leaders and leadership, but this book really is focusing on the followers. Whether you agree or like it or not, it is an interesting book, well written and well researched. The best thing about Len Sweet books is how he really challenges the status quo and one's own thinking as well. 


I think you'll either love this book or hate it.... but you will definitely emerge more informed and challenged by it. 


I liked it.

December 1941

I love reading books on history and this one did not disappoint! Each chapter tells the story of a single day of ..... well, as the title suggests, December, 1941. I couldn't put this book down, but when I did, it was eagerly snatched up by my 12 year old son and I had to wait a bit to get it back. He also (he reads books well beyond his grade level) enjoyed this and learned so much about the war, the over 500 pages really didn't scare him away at all since it was such an interesting read. This would be an excellent book to give to a history buff or any friend who enjoyed reading.
