Into the Wild

into the wild

Into the Wild is the story of Chris McCandless.  It is an extremely fascinating story.  One I encourage all to read.  It is also a quick and very easy read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under the Banner of Heaven

UnderTheBannerOfHeaven

Under the Banner of Heaven is a not only a vivid account of the murder of a mother and her 15 month old daughter by the hands of two brothers, it is also a great historical explanation of the Mormon church.  I have really enjoyed reading how the church came into being and where it stands today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both of these books have been great reads.  Looking forward to tackling the other books sitting on my desk.
