Book List

[Mercy]

I would like to suggest The Hiding Place by Corie Ten Boom. Her family is Dutch and her father is a watch repairman. It is excellently written with much fore shadowing. After the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands, Corrie and her family help the underground hide Jewish people and find them secret places to stay. Of course, they are eventually caught. The rest of the book is a story of victory and strength of character over the evil in work camps and concentration camps. I reread this book at least every two years. It really helps when I feel stuck in or out of therapy.

It has been suggested to me that I read the following books. Maybe we could include them in the book club list.


The Enlightened Gardner by Sydney banks

In the spring of 1968, four practicing psychologists travel from the United States to England for a conference at a charming 17th-century hotel. There, the four doctors hope to gain some new insight about the nature of the human Mind that can be shared with their respective patients. As they cross the Atlantic and leave behind the turbulent social and political landscape of late-1960s America, they can have no way of knowing that the revelations they seek will come not from the "experts" at the conference but from the hotel's wise and mysterious groundskeeper...

Enlightened Gardner Revisited

In this sequel to The Enlightened Gardener, two colleagues return to England to meet once again with the remarkable gardener, whose simple yet profound philosophy made such a difference to their lives. Their questions, and the gardener’s inspiring answers, help the reader gain a deeper understanding of the message of wisdom and hope presented by the Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought.

Oh well at least with paperback, I can pass them on.

 

[The Albatross]

One of my all time favorite authors for fiction was Tom Robbins. I have read almost all of his books. He was quirky with a flare for words and I found him fascinating.

Cavy, I'm sorry but recommendations are only accepted from active Book Club members. That is those who are actively reading and discussing books.

Apart from taking part by reading is there a formal way to become a member?
