I am part-way through a book that I got for Christmas from my brother-in-law, Matt. It is called Gilead. It is a must read…

I am enjoying is mostly because it is one of those books that is easy to pick up and jump right back into after having to set it down for a bit. The author is a brilliant storyteller and paints such vivid pictures that you feel like you are looking on to the scene. Very few authors can do that for me.  Marilynne Robinson is the name of the author. She is a best-selling author of several other writings and Pulitzer Prize Winner.

So, if you have some down time over the Holidays and are looking for a book to read, try this one.  Let me know what you think…
