A Prayer For Owen Meany, a book I would recommend for a person to read at least once in their life. A book about a boy, Owen Meany, who believes that God has a plan for him, and that he serves god as his instrument.

After I read that I cracked up. Who wants to hear about that kind of stuff about their mother? Well, Johnny didn't mind. They went on to discuss and rate
