I really enjoyed reading The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews. In typical Andy Andrews style, he has you from the beginning in an engaging story with a great lesson about life. In my opinion, one of the key skills to learn in life is how to forgive and Andy masterfully covers that skill in this great book. I highly recommend this book!

Everyone Communicates, Few Connect by John C. Maxwell
In his latest book, Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, John C. Maxwell has once again hit a home run! This book is for everyone. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, an entrepreneur or a student, you spend a lot of time communicating. This book explains very simple ways to ensure that you not only communicate more effectively, but that you connect as well.
In his usual style, this book is filled with stories, quotes and easy-to-remember points that make it really easy to apply the principles right away. At the end of every chapter, John provides tips on how to connect one-on-one, in small groups and in front of large crowds.
John put this book out on his blog before he published it. As a result, there are a lot of great tips from people who are communicating daily, this adds a lot of value to the book.
Over all, I give this book 5 out of 5.

Saint Patrick by Jonathan Rogers
This brief 100 page book provides a great overview of the life and work of Saint Patrick. From some of his experiences as a young boy, to his captivity as a slave in Ireland, to his voluntary return to the country that stole him from home, Jonathan Rogers helps to distinguish between fact and fiction in the life of this early Christian missionary.
I found this book to be enjoyable and very easy to read. It was a book that gave a great general overview of the life of St. Patrick, but I wish it would have gone into more details about the work that he did and the interactions he had with the Irish people that made him such an impactful man. Rogers' did an excellent job of sticking to fact by basing so much of his book specifically on the writing of St. Patrick and of trying to show St. Patrick's high level of conviction and love for the work that he did. I would recommend this book to others and I would rate it as 4 out of 5.
