- Latest Review: "See Bride Run!" by Charlotte Hughes
I have one thing to say when it comes to religion and books like this. They're always contentious. Not all people see the world the same way and the subject has always been debated and always will be.
I downloaded the book and thank the author for making it free for today. I'm going to read it with an open mind. I'm not a Christian and I'm not looking for a book to discredit Christ. I just want to know what other people think on this subject.
"If you want to keep your friends, there are three things you never discuss with them: Religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin." (Linus of the Peanuts comic strip).
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Another intriguing aspect is that the book is a novel with a bibliography. I have read other historical novels where I could find bibliographies and suggested reading on the author's website or through a companion book, but I don't remember reading a novel with a bibliography as a part of the book. Very interesting!
