I am not a person who normally reads a book more than once, but this was one book that I yearned to pick up again after 10 years.

The Poisonwood Bible is extraordinary. I love the fact that it discusses the hypocracies in religion and how they can be taken to the extreme, yet the women involved never lose their faith, regardless of the hard times they are subjected to. The story shows the true strength of character that is within us all and how we can will ourselves to survice, no matter the circumstances. Yet we are all changed.
