A lot of books get published each year. A few get read while the others are ignored. In this blog I would like to present some book reviews of books I have read and feel are important enough for you to read also. Feel free to suggest books which you feel I should review for you. I will consider them.

Finding Chika by Mitch Albom
He has written another book. He seems so prolific . Albom tells the true story of his few years with an orphan named Chika.
Chika was born three days before the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. When her mother dies, Chika is sent to the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage in Port-Au-Prince. This happens to be where Albom and his wife visit and support. Have Faith Haiti Orphanage happens to be a Christian run orphanage.
When Chika becomes five she is suddenly diagnosed with a life-threatening disease
"There is no one in Haiti who can help her,". a doctor tells Mitch.
So Mitch takes Chika to the United States to get treatment. She soon becomes a part of the Albom family . It is discovered she needs intensive treatment which would keep her in America.
Her story is told in the style of Albom. He tends to use a style that you either like or dislike. In order to tell the story he must use the technique of Chika's lingering spirit popping in and out to motivate him to remember the facts and recount them.
It is a tear jerker of a true story.
It is recommended for those who want to know what Christians are doing to influence the world they live in.
It is a book that Dr. Phil featured on his show.
It is published by Harper Collins. The cost is $24.99.
