It is an entire book dedicated to what they do with bodies when you donate your body to science. I couldn't put it down.<br /><br />As a result, I have signed up to donate my temporal bones (ear bones) to science because I have a genetic hearing condition called otosclerosis.

One book that might actually excite you if ...Julie,<br />One book that might actually excite you if you are embarking on a God adventure is Primal by Mark Batterson. I read it back in December in order to do a blog review, and it has stuck with me so strongly that I was able to get permission to do a book study at our house through my church. My adrenaline actually pumps, noticeably, when I think about this book; we start tomorrow night, and from our rather smallish church, we are going to be packing almost 30 people into this house tomorrow night! My (or God's, rather) ultimate goal through this book is to have our church body not just read the book, but to take it to heart and do something BIG for Him with the information. It's short, simple, but for me, it was profoundly motivating. It basically takes the Great Commandment and breaks it down and gives you tangible ideas on how to live it out.<br />I read Donald Miller's A Million Miles in a Thousand Years before Primal, and for me they went hand it hand-Don's Book is on truly living the Story that God created for you. <br />I'm excited for you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-7681420650353358732010-05-19T02:21:50.636-07:002010-05-19T02:21:50.636-07:00http://stefaniesreadinglist.blogspot.com/
