The Lilies of the Field
14 journalers for this copy...
One of the most beloved of modern classics returns with a beautiful new cover. The enchanting story of two unlikely friends, a black ex-GI and the head of a group of German nuns, The Lilies of the Field tells the story of their impossible dream--to build a chapel in the desert.
This is one of my favourite books (the movie is one of my favourites as well). I like the simplicity of the story, and the humour in it too.
This copy will be offered as a bookring today.

Sent to lunatum today.
The book arrived today. I have three ring/ray books ahead of this, but I think I'll get this read whithin a month. (Why do they always come i bundles...:)
A nice little book about little miracles. One can do anything if he have faith. Thank you for sharing this book with us, though this wasn't really my kind of book. I'll mail this forward next week.
The Lilies are on their way to Luxembourg.
Thanks lunatum for sending this to me. I look forward to reading it.
I finished this in a day. An out of the ordinary story and two very unusual main caracters.

I read it on a go before leaving to holidays abroad. I didn't have time to make the JE and PM the next.
I loved this fairy tale and if the church does exist I'll be sure to visit it if life takes me there.

The book has arrived safely and I started to read it straight away .... because I have no self control. Really I need to be reading the other books first as all the library books that I requested have come in together ... plus I am sitting on another ring ... so far behind. This one has been a gorgeous read so far. Thanks heaps!! :)
This is a beautiful read! I loved it. Thank you for sending it on it's journey, ukcanaus. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. A quick read but it was so special.
And it's back! Thanks, Carole888, for sending it to me, along with another RABCK too!
I'm not sure what I will do next with the book, but thanks very much to all of you for making this a successful bookring :)

A well-read and well- loved book, one of my favourites!
I have to admit that I have never read anything by this autor before, probably about time. Thank you very much for passing this on to me.

Journal Entry 20 by Jannike at -- wild release somewhere in Oslo, Oslo fylke Norway on Tuesday, March 11, 2014
The book arrived by mail today, a perfect small sized book to bring for travelling. I plan to spend 5-6 hours on a train later this week, so this is what I will read on my journey.

I apologize for keeping the book so long. The small book had slipped out of sight. But now I have read it, and it is was well worth reading. It is a book full of hope, faith and courage. I really liked at and can recommend it! It is an easy read, I finished it in one evening - with a smile.
The book is now in a Bookring, moving on to Travelina next.

The book is with me. Looking forward to reading it.
This was a nice little book with humor and hope. I will pas it on to Tuttasb because I have another book to send her as well, and have asked Haugtussa to switch Widwolverine and Tuttasb in the order of the bookring.
Correction 10.3.2015: Tuttasb has not responden on PM or facebook. I will therefore pass this book on to Wildwolverine instead.

Got this in the mail a few days ago. Going to start reading NOW!
It's a sweet story, but that is about it. I didn't get taken by it as many others who have read it seems to be. It is nicely written, and i get a feeling the author tries to be a little bit Steinbeck (simple story, big meaning), but no one does Steinbeck better than Steinbeck, so ...
I'll send it of as soon as i get the address from Lesehest.

Haven't heard from LESEHEST, so i'll ask babelfisk for hers.
Sent of to babelfisk.
Here with me! Thanks for sharing!!
Touching and captivating.
I got a mail from Gealach who asks to be skipped so I'll pass the book on to Nordpirat.
On its way to Nordpirat, finally!
På väg till Nordpirat, äntligen!
