Great Books

Just finished a wonderful book by Angela Hunt.  "The Pearl"  this book is set in the current time of the year of 1997-2000.  Angela mentions President Bush, Saddam Husein an and many other current events of our time.  I enjoyed this book and could not put it down.  Angela Hunt is a Christian and her faith is shown throughout this book.   The book main thought is that at what price and sacrifices are you willing to give up for what you "think" you want in life.  Many times we use God instead of listening to him and following what scripture says about certain situations.  The main character in the book Dr. Diana Sheldon lost her son to a car accident, & she was willing to pursue anything to get her son back.  Cloning is the main thought in this book and what implications it this ever happened in America that cloning would create.  She was willing to do this but at the cost of her other child and her marriage.  It does have a good ending so I would encourage anyone to read this great book.  Diane
