Family is Everything ...
Family Book Club for June
David's choice
Boyle's stories in Tattoos on the Heart are a powerful reminder that everyone deserves a chance to change and grow. He urges us to look beyond the surface and see the inherent goodness in every individual. His message is one of hope and redemption, emphasizing the transformative power of love and compassion.

DAVID – TUES, JUNE 4, 2024
Hi Book Club! Have we
not done "Tattoos on the Heart?" I thought for sure I had picked that
before, but I don't see in on our spreadsheet of previous books. If we haven't
I definitely pick that! Let me know if we have, and I will pick another book. I
still love the book club! Loved the Gladwell books, and Paul Revere's Ride!

Listened to Tats on the
Heart on my way to work this morning, about 20 mins. Teared up twice. Committed
to be better. The book is “great” (when you read the first chapter that word
will make you smile, and maybe the opposite). Excellent Choice D!

to me FROM JANIE – WED, JUNE 5, 2024
I think I read this on one of your recommendations, and it is in my top
5. Excellent choice!! I also really enjoyed Paul Revere’s ride. I felt like it
was a great insight into how the minute men were historically formed and
organized, and how the British were viewed, and the contrast in military
approach.

And I also just noticed,
looking at the previous books, that this July is the 10 year anniversary of the
Family Book Club! July 2014, David and Goliath, by Malcolm Gladwell, picked by
Steve! Even 10 years later I look back on those early picks and still love them
- The Rent Collector, Unbroken, Boys in the Boat, and Call of the Wild, Dad's
first pick!

sharing over the last decade!

I laugh and cry every time I listen to this again! I quote
it extensively in my church talks. "Narrow is the way - not a narrowness
that excludes, but a narrowness that allows pushes us closer together…
FROM STEVE – WED, JUNE 5, 2024
That’s just great!

I just have 10 pages left in the histology—Chapter 23. It
was interesting for me to listen to it knowing that Heavenly Father wanted this
to be a free nation for the restoration of the Gospel to happen here… …which
began just 45 years after the 1775 ride of Paul Revere—1820. As the last thing
Marilyn Anderson told her family: “…He is Always in All the Details.”
