Books are a gift that keeps on giving because any book you give, gives to the one who reads it and their entire circle of friends. The first book I remember being given was I remember this book well because it was the first hardback book I had ever received, it came from my favorite aunt, and I treasured it so much that it still holds a prime spot in one of my bookcases. If you want to start a trend in the life of a child or friend, here are some books I recommend in no particular order. The first two are novels for adults.
This book involves 2 teenage cousins, 1 an artistic New Yorker, the other an artistic immigrant from Prague escaping the Nazis. One wants to make a name for himself; one wants to free his family and especially his younger brother. An amazing story with plenty of conflict to keep you reading.
Bel Canto is the story of a group of disparate people—a politician, a pianist, a priest, an opera singer, and others—taken hostage by a band of Guerillas in a South American country. Beautifully written.
Beautifully written Bible Stories for children and adults.
This is more about trusting God than the hurts of life. It provides hope and leads to prayer.
For older elementary school children, teenagers, and adults I recommend the following books by Gary D. Schmidt.
