Join Shanna and Janice in conversation and laughter as they discuss the books they’re reading and continue their discussion of Khaled Hosseini’s, A Thousand Splendid Suns.

P.S. Please excuse the blunder of calling Charles Dickens, Charles Dickenson.

Commonplace Quotes

No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:12

One cried 'God bless us!' and 'Amen' the other;

As they had seen me with these hangman's hands.

Listening their fear, I could not say 'Amen,'

When they did say 'God bless us!'

But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'?

I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen'

Stuck in my throat.

~ Shakespeare
