  1. I have just finished January’s book…. The Help.
    A really good read and I am sure there will be a great amount of discussion about it…. Most people would have a view about the stories with in it. It is fictional but very factual.

  2. We read “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett and I would like to thank Jean for recommending this book to the group. It took me a little while to get into, I persevered and so glad I did. It opened my mind and re-affirmed my opinion that there is never an excuse for discrimination and I found myself embarrassed to be white.

  3. “I dared to call Him Father” – This is my second reading of this book. These are my comments:
    1. Amazing way that God still communicates through dreams.
    2. Bilquis’ obedience to God, otherwise the “Presence” left her.
    3. Bilquis took everything to God in prayer.
    4. Bilquis’ bravery in becoming a Christian and opposing generations of her family’s beliefs.
    5. The emphasising at the end of the book that more tolerance is perhaps needed by everyone in understanding the differences between east and west, i.e. cultures, customs, etc.

  4. December’s book in deep contrast to Nineteen Minutes is I Dared To Call Him Father by Bilquis Sheikh. An inspiring personal testimony by Bilquis of her conversion and baptism in the Holy Spirit from Muslim to Christianity. Profound and passionate I found the book to remind me of my First Love experience with Jesus. Not a heavy book to read and one I would sincerely recommend. A great source of encouragement.

  5. Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult. Had an interesting discussion about bullying and the relationships between parents and children. One comment in the early part of the book which has stayed with me is that when a baby is just born you can see the holiness in their eyes!
