I read a lot of good books in 2004, but if I had to pick just one it would have to be Safe Haven by Hannah Alexander.

A Prologue to Love by Taylor Caldwell, which I first read in the 1970s but truly appreciate in today's world. The book is a virtual example of a faithless, ruthless, unfeeling family who learns absolutely the hard way that human beings and their emotions should come before anything else we consider on earth. Money was always present and privilege was always present, but without love and without acknowledging God, there was never understanding, pleasure or happiness even for oneself, let alone the joy of making others happy. It made me realize anything that happens in life involves a higher source, a directive, and if it isn't from God, it is usually rooted in selfishness. The book regards God with respect and regards power not associated with God as suspect. Taylor Caldwell was a wonderful author who often wrote novels, in my thinking, that were based on God's rich hand in history that leads us to our present condition.

The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl, wonderfully researched for historical accuracy yet Pearl incorporates so many twists and turns that the climax isn't until the final few pages. Pearl gives us food for thought on the influence of literature on our realities. Not the easiest read, but well worth it.

The best book I read was Into the Nevernight by Anne De Graaf. It is about the "lost boys" of Sudan and I have recommended or given this book to many.
