Book Review - Plain Paradise

Plain Pradise is good reading. I finished the book in three days. I have read many of the Amish themed books and have liked them all. This book, though, gives me food for thought. I wonder if the author did a lot of research about the Amish culture. Why would a girl who wears long dresses, long sleeves and a prayer cap be allowed to wear a bathing suit and swim with just her boyfriend and herself? Just wondering, but it is good reading.

Everyone Communicates Few Connect

John Maxwell is an amazing man when it comes to connecting with people. In his book, he talks about how important it is that we connect with people before we try to communicate something to them or they will not receive the message we are trying to give. This book is almost a "can't lay down" read. As I was reading, I felt more inadequate. I hope I can apply some of John' s methods of connecting with people. This subject should be a required school course.
