Recent Book Reviews by Audra plus some on my "to read list"

I've confessed my addiction to you before but I'll say it again....My name is Audra Anders and I am a BOOK-A-HOLIC.   If I find a good book I become obsessed with finishing it and have a hard time pacing myself! I read really fast but have to really be careful before I start a book or my responsibilities will get neglected! I started AND finished a really great 500 page murder mystery this weekend (The Snowman). So, I need to take a break from reading for a few days and have decided to fill you in on my recently read books and some on my "to read" list.  

 

Chip's Book of Prayers (book review)

View or Buy it on Amazon 

Audra's Review:

 

I read this book while waiting in carpool line several days in a row.   Tears were flowing every time I read it so I'm sure people were staring.   In a world filled with news of cancer hitting friends and friends of friends, often times it is so hard to figure out what to do in order to help the family in despair. We bring food, run errands, take care of family, bring flowers etc. But Scott Dockter is a business man who obviously travels often. He found a way to help out even when miles from home. I loved reading Scott's letters and emails to Chip. They were full of inspiration, encouragement, and humor. I love visiting beautiful churches, therefore seeing the beautiful photographs of the churches that Scott visited all over the globe while he said prayers for Chip was wonderful to me also. I don't know the Madren or Dockter families personally but have several friends who do. Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to meet Chip and Scott someday and hug their necks for inspiring me and others by creating and sharing this book of prayers. Proceeds from the book benefit Chip's Nation Pediatric Cancer Foundation.  

 

Amazon.Com Introduction from Chip's mother Lea:

  I once thought that the term "Broken Heart" was just a phrase used to describe temporary sadness until I had a child diagnosed with brain cancer. In the beginning of our nightmare, we were in crisis
