This week's question comes from Ivan who blogs at Ivan Bookworm:

 

 "What book influenced or changed your life? How did it influence/change you?"

I think the only book that has changed/influenced me is the Bible! 

I've read some powerful books and it stuck with me for a few days but never influenced or changed me. Interesting question, I'm looking forward to reading other answers. 

 

Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice -  

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.

It's that simple.

My Friday 56 comes from the book WORDS by Ginny L. Yttrup:
  "There's a paragraph printed in tiny letters on one of the scraps of paper: Their names were Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and I am sorry to say that they were both really horrible people."

More about this book:

Product Description from Amazon:

"I collect words. I keep them in a box in my mind. I'd like to keep them in a real box, something pretty, maybe a shoe box covered with flowered wrapping paper. Whenever I wanted, I'd open the box and pick up the papers, reading and feeling the words all at once. Then I could hide the box. But the words are safer in my mind. There, he can't take them."
Ten-year old Kaylee Wren doesn't speak. Not since her drug-addled mother walked away, leaving her in a remote cabin nestled in the towering redwoods-in the care of a man who is as dangerous as he is evil. With silence her only refuge, Kaylee collects words she might never speak from the only memento her mother left behind: a dictionary. Sierra Dawn is thirty-four, an artist, and alone. She has allowed the shame of her past to silence her present hopes and chooses to bury her pain by trying to control her circumstances. But on the twelfth anniversary of her daughter's death, Sierra's control begins to crumble as the God of her childhood woos her back to Himself. Brought together by Divine design, Kaylee and Sierra will discover together the healing mercy of the Word-Jesus Christ.

Have an awesome Friday!
