Good Reads

Read any good books lately? With summer almost upon us, it is time to get our reading lists ready!

I read a great book recently that I would totally recommend. It is called Until We All Come Home by Kim de Blecourt. This is an adoption story of love and commitment, loneliness and new friendships, despair and strength with a dramatic columniation in which God brings Kim through amazing hardships. I could not put this book down. Seriously, I read it in one day. You won’t be disappointed.

About the Author:

Kim met Gary VanDyke, our founder and CEO, at a Christian Alliance for Orphans conference before she started her journey through the Ukrainian adoption system. They kept in touch throughout the process and because of Kim’s heart for orphans; she has joined the Food for Orphans team. Kim is now leading our life changing mission trips. This is exciting stuff people! So go read this great book and think about joining a missions trip with the author.

Another book I read recently is Castaway Kid by R. B. Mitchell. This is the story of a little boy who was put into an American orphanage at the age of three. Mitchell chronicles his childhood rejection and abandonment along with his new found identity in the family God. The enormity of what he has been through and his ability forgive are remarkable. Mitchell’s story is one that will stick with you long after you are done. Warning: You will need Kleenexes!

Your turn! What books have you read lately? I need to get my list ready!
