Be Smart-President Hinkley

Books are such an important part of our education. No mater if we are three or seventy-three, we are all constantly learning.
Reading is an essential part of learning about the world around us. By picking up a book, we are bringing information, new thoughts and different ways to look at things, into our mind. Instead of turning on the TV, read something. Enlighten your mind, become more educated, like President Hinkley urges us to do.

Godless

Godless
Pete Hautman
Simon Pulse 2004

Summary
Jason Bock doesn't believe in God. He doesn't believe in anything, until one day Henry "knocks" some sense into him, literally. Flat on his back, Jason stares up at the underbelly of the water tower and realizes that it's god. He then forms his own religion with a couple kids from around town who are bored that summer. But soon things start getting out of hand when Jason realizes that he can't control all his members, and some of them might want to do things that aren't authorized in their "commandments."

Personal Review
This book was a quick read. However, I didn't like it too much. For some reason it didn't hold my interested, and just seemed like the storyline wasn't really going anywhere and Jason wasn't really learning anything too important. Although I will give it this, this book was extremely funny at some parts.

Cautionary Notes
This book deals with questioning religion, so anyone that has a problem with that shouldn't read this. There is also bullying, slight nudity, and a few swear words.
