Magnificent Obsession by Lloyd Douglas
read 7/18/10 - 7/22/10
This was a pleasant book about sacrificing of yourself and doing good for others. The characters in the book take the principle of Matthew 6:3 ("But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing") and use it as a formula for life (even turning it in to its own religion--a bit creepy). There is also a fun little love story woven in. The woman keeps avoiding the man, but he keeps pursuing. All in all, despite the odd religiousness of the book, Magnificent Obsession is a very pleasant, heartwarming book.
This book was part of my 2010 summer reading program.
