March

1. An Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town by John Grisham
This is the true story of a man who was sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit. Not classic Grisham. I prefer his novels, but his message in this book is important.

2. From Millstone to Milestone by Bob Murette (I think that's how to spell his last name. I can't read my own handwriting!!)
A practical book about money management using three basic principles: Giving, Debt Elimination, and Contentment.

3. Where the River is Wide: Pahquahwong and the Chippewa Flowage by Charlie Otto Rasmusson.
The sad tale of how an Ojibway village, Pahquahwong (Post), was flooded to create a recreation area. The Chippewa Flowage, now one of the largest lakes in Wisconsin, provides some of the best fishing in the nation -- but it came at a high price for the citizens of this little Native American community.

4. The Church Jesus Builds by Joseph Coleson (editor)
This is a pretty good collection of essays about the nature and mission of the church.
