"A book that I have enjoyed very much is Harper Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird.' This book has so many life lessons woven into it through the many stories within the story. Atticus Finch is a father raising his children Scout and Jem during the Depression. Scout and Jem spend their days trying to learn more about their mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley. The title of the novel comes from a lesson Atticus teaches his kids -- because mockingbirds sing and bring joy to people, it would be a sin to kill one. That lesson can be applied to all the situations presented in this novel about prejudice, judgment and justice."

"This is a wonderful and easy to read book about the little known people in the Bible. I call them the 'nuts and bolts'. It's about how they help to shape Bible history along with the better known people, that I call the 'iron posts'. The little knowns are people whose names we see as we are reading, but never pause to think about their contributions such as Cain, Jabez, Jonah and Saul. All of their stories are fascinating and their contributions vast. It causes you to see how every little 'nut' and 'bolt' is needed to support the stronger characters, and, in coming together, create the final product -- the Bible."

"This book is about a man who dies, goes to heaven and comes back to life. A good friend gave me this book to help me to deal with the recent death of my husband. Do not read this book if you are looking for excitement and romance, but read it if you are looking for comfort and confirmation. It gave me peace. I would recommend '90 Minutes in Heaven', especially if you need spiritual peace of mind. You will have to decide for yourself if this is a true story or not."
Patti Scott, 48, Longview
