An Author with lots to say....

 Okay so the book being reviewed today is A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. However Any book my him is worth the read and I highly recommend you taking the time to enjoy his humor and very interesting ways of presenting commentary on modern living in america.

In A Dirty Job we meet some interesting characters..Well some we know from the other books ;-) But our Poor Main Character is dealt a huge blow right off the bat and is left to raise his new born daughter alone, all in the face of impending danger from the otherworld...And Poor Charlie thinks things are bad when the Hell Hounds show up in his daughters Bedroom...But then again He does run an antique store that attracts a very odd sort...And there is the guy Minty Fresh he met when his wife died...The book covers several years of Charlie's life and an unusual job he is picked for out of the blue. Lets just say he gets a lot of attention from the local investigator officer Rivera and has some pretty interesting connects to a large number of deaths in town....This story is set in San Francisco and is a delight to read. You will not be able to put it down!

Of course check out his other books for more insight to the characters of San Francisco along with characters from Pine Cove California and Hawaii...I promise you will not go wrong...
       

The Herdman's

If you have never read about the Herdman's now is the time. This is what I consider a staple Christmas book. I touched on the Herdman's around Halloween and if you read the book then you will know what I mean. Once the Herdman's get a hold of the local Christmas Pageant nothing will ever be the same. And Frankly you will never be the same either. If you need a great story to read with the family this is it. My family use to read a chapter a night out-loud. If you have older kids it will take no time at all to read but I promise you that this book will be a holiday tradition for years to come.

In time for the Holidays

So my review this week is a double review. I had the amazing privilege to see this author/composer perform this last weekend and it was an incredibly moving night. He is truly amazing. So who am I talking about?
Well his name is Michael McLean. He is a Christian writer and Wow talk about special. He is most known for The Forgotten Carols and that is the recommended reading for today. Well you have to listen too. But the book comes with the CD so you are all set. This CD instantly became a family tradition while growing up and over the years our love for his work has spread to many areas. There are very few words to describe this man and his work except that you must seek it out and enjoy it. Once you have you will completely understand that I can not put it in words. So please go out and enjoy.
