To Own a Dragon!
I recently finished Donald Millers latest book – To own a dragon.
Martin read it first and left it on the coffee table in our living room and made me promise I’ll read it before I hand it over to the bookshelf. We’ll I did, and loved it.
Don (as you get to know him through the book) does a great job of putting his thoughts on paper, if you have a scar somewhere because of your father this is a great book to read. Don has an extreme case of father neglect (my definition), and this book came out of a healing time for him.
