What book that you have read has touched your heart the most?

Answer 1

Hi!

I have to go with Lynne23. "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" really changed my life. I look at the world differently now and really see the people around me, pondering the impact I might have on their lives... even the people I just pass on the sidewalk. Sometimes at night, when I lay in bed, I reflect on my life and wonder who my 'five people' would be.

Answer 2

I read a triology by Francine Rivers called The Mark Of The Lion series. I cried with the characters and for them, I was moved so much. The stories are touching and beautifully written. The history in the books sticks with you because when you read an unfamiliar historical term in the story and can look up the definition in the backs of the books.
The first book is about a girl captured in the fall of Jerusalem and made a slave in a wealthy household in Rome, where she falls in love with one of her captors.
The second is a continuation of the stories of some of the characters from the first book.
The third book is about a gladiator who was briefly introduced in the first book.

All of Barbara Kingsolver's books, especially the Poisonwood Bible. She writes in a style that is easy to read, and her characters are vivid, real people. As you read you become very involved in the characters lives to the point of tears. The stories are all about strong women and how they interact with the world and the men in their lives.
