The Invisible Mentor

The books below are the books that invisible mentors would like to have with them if they were stranded on a deserted island.

The Bible – The chronicle of man from Creation to the end of history, as we understand it. God’s dealings and desire for man.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - Four siblings get stuck in another reality (Narnia) where it is always winter and never Christmas. The thaw of spring begins when Aslan, the lion (but not a tame lion) sets foot again in the land.

The Last Battle - Last in the series that the previous book begins. I try to read it once every two years or so, just to get perspective on life (and death).

The Fellowship of the Ring – Everyone knows this one. Something about the eating schedules and architecture of hobbits is just perennially appealing.

The Count of Monte Cristo –The book, NOT the movie, is an honest portrayal of the consequences of hatred and revenge. No matter how justly deserved.

The Stand - Stephen King

The Artist’s Way because then I’d have time to do the 7 days with no written word exercise.

A thesaurus

Andrew Lang’s Red Fairy Book – it will never become old

Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings – do you really need the summary?

Women who Run with the Wolves because I have yet to have a chance to finish it.
