It was a few years ago that I read it. <br />What I've said above is what I remember from it, which is possibly more about who I was and what I was struggling with at the time I read it. Ah, how books can do that ;)<br /><br />[btw thanks for your mention of The Housekeeper And The Professor - like you I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it!]<br /><br />Ruby, thank you :) <3 <3Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331862535368805034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-60246794079634512552011-08-30T03:43:59.798+10:002011-08-30T03:43:59.798+10:00I haven't seen the movie, but I've shared ...I haven't seen the movie, but I've shared the book with countless people--including several young men in southern African and with my own son.

I do know however that no Christian is without them and we do not grow or become "polished" without trial and growth. I blogged about it!

Yes, we would say that Easter is of pagan origin and not found in scripture, nor prescribed for worship.Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705309602853231946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-91498448648037560572011-08-29T15:20:00.894+10:002011-08-29T15:20:00.894+10:00Certainly his anger came across as a significant c...Certainly his anger came across as a significant character flaw in the film. He was certainly not a nice chap in his High School years.<br /><br /> The fact that he put his work before his family is also significant. It is interesting that his recent brush with prostate cancer has changed his work/life priorities somewhat.<br /><br />Are either of these apparent in the book?Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-86512382575921900192011-08-29T14:41:24.611+10:002011-08-29T14:41:24.611+10:00I've not seen the movie but I've read the ...I've not seen the movie but I've read the book - and actually, it didn't inspire me. Sure, he has achieved much, but I found the story as the book presented it MUCH too perfect - it seemed like Ben Carson had no character flaws whatsoever and never had a season in life to be ashamed of. Everything went right according to the perfect plan. Are there really people like that in the world? Well, I'm not like that. <br />I came away from it thinking I would never achieve much because I'm not a perfect person.<br /><br />Sorry to put a dampener on your review :(<br /><br />Perhaps I should try to watch the movie anyway, remembering to keep an open mind :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331862535368805034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-85667709363470297222011-08-29T07:21:38.529+10:002011-08-29T07:21:38.529+10:00Yes, brilliant movie! xxxYes, brilliant movie! xxxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507551793424616654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-54640471391327466612011-08-29T07:17:41.552+10:002011-08-29T07:17:41.552+10:00Haven't heard of this one, Jeanne.
