I know that this book club idea has totally bombed on me. SO- What if we use this as a way to suggest books to each other and talk about them instead? If anyone checks this place give me your thoughts...Anyway, with this in mind I am suggesting Tattoos on the Heart. I just started it last night and wow. I read 60 pages and probably cried for 50 of them. Heres the jist- This is a nonfiction. Its written by a Catholic priest who has been in the worst 'gang land' of LA since 1986. He has done some amazing things to try to help remedy this situation. These are stories and things he has learned. It is about love- its about God. It is insipiring and amazing. WARNING: there is language. Apparently swearing isn't against catholoisim (sp?) because the priest's mouth isn't totally clean. As I haven't finished it I dont know if there is other stuff to warn you about. But, I think that this is worth the read despite the language. Anyway, if you dont want to read religious ideas dont read this one because as I said it was written by a priest-- and really he is saying that when people find out that God loves them they can change- powerful.
give me your thoughts- also, if you want to be an author then give me your email address you use for blogging in the comment section and i'll add you up. :)
