The Princess Bride
Abridged version by William Goldman
My dad gave me this book and told me to read it, and since he usually picks good books for me, I decided i'd give it a try. I loved it! I couldn't put it down!! Its about Butttercup, and how torn she is between Westley, her first love, and Prince Humperdinck, who she has promised to marry. There's battles for claim of the princess, battles for the sake of battling, battles for love, battles to see who is the strongest, or bravest. When she has finally lost all hope of love, that when Westley comes back for her, and she can't decide between love and promises; until she realizes that the prince plans to kill her! Love, adventure, and a possibly happy ending? Yes please!

Radical by David Platt - Book Review
Radical by David Platt
This is definitely one of my favorite books! The author talks about living a radical life for Christ, and everything that it involves. He reminds us that Christ says that when following Him, we will GIVE UP money, convenience, security, even family to follow Him. Christ says we have to pick up our crosses DAILY, but honestly, who lives like that now? The author explains what this means, and how it should affect our lifestyles, and how it has affected people in his church. He talks about churches around the world, where they could get arrested or even killed for meeting together, but they love Christ so much that they go anyway. They don't have the fancy churches we have, the musical entertainment we have, some don't even have Bibles, but that doesnt stop them from meeting together. That's Radical, and it makes me ask myself if I would be willing to keep following Christ in those circumstances.
At the end of the book, the author lays out a plan for how we can live a radical life, such as praying specifically for the whole world, spending time in missions, and spending more time in the Bible. He includes stories of how this plan has changed the lives of some of the members in his church, and how it has changed his.
