ROM idea
Posted by Darlyne Crum on November 26th, 2005 1:50 pmThis is a suggestion for a ROM and I am not sure where to put it.
Anything by Mark Salzman
I would recommend Lying Awake or the Soloist. I have read a number of his books and think he is a very good writer. His books are easy to read.
Here is a summary of Lying Awake
By the way, the author is an atheist so I think this book is remarkable.
A balanced blend of fiction and nonfiction that offers inspiration and encouragement without reference to a particular faith or religion. The various genres of fiction feature characters who reap rewards or consequences appropriate to their actions. The diverse selection of nonfiction echoes today’s discussions of ethics, values, and morals.
Sister John of the Cross has spent years in the service of God in a Carmelite monastery outside Los Angeles. There, she experiences visions of such dazzling power and insight that she is looked upon as a spiritual guide. But Sister John’s visions are accompanied by powerful headaches, and when a doctor reveals that they may be dangerous, she faces a devastating choice. If her spiritual gifts are symptoms of illness rather than grace, will a “cure” mean the end of her visions and a soul once again searching?
