review 1: Thrift Store Saints: Meeting Jesus 25 Cents at a Time by Jane F. Knuth is a book I would recommend to those who enjoy reading fiction books that really relate to the everyday life of normal people. I'm only saying this because this book is about a normal middle-aged woman who's life is changed by a little thrift store. Saint Vincent De Paul thrift store was the only place Jane, the main character, could purchase a rosary for her daughter's first communion. During the purchase of the rosary, Jane was asked to volunteer there at the thrift store. She first turned down the offer of helping the poor and less fortunate but her decision was turned around when she was recognized by the woman who would later become her best friend and a drunken man barged into the store demanding ... morethings that couldn't be provided and she was forced into defending herself and the other volunteer. This book will truly change the reader's outlook on life. We all take things for granted and when reading about Jane's experiences at the thrift store. Many little events that Jane goes through with her customers while working at Saint Vincent De Paul thrift store change her as a person. Many less fortunate people come across Jane and she realizes that she should be thankful for everything she has because some people don't have much. I think the reader will feel the same way and the same lesson will come across to them. There are many small parts to this book and each part portrays a lesson to the reader. Each person Jane comes across has a heartbreaking story and Jane always finds ways to help these people. I can almost guarantee that you will be changed as a person for the better while reading this book.
review 2: Thrift Store Saints an e pretty well written book filled with heartwarming, depressing, and thrilling stories about an amazing lady Jane Knuth’s days working at the Saint Vincent De Paul thrift store. This book takes place in Kalamazoo, Michigan in a thrift store that Jane works at. You learn many things about Jane for example how she came to actually work at the store. You also learn all about the amazing people she meets on her dynamic journey working at the store. Jane helps people out every day from giving away clothes to some families that are less fortunate and can’t afford things for Christmas, and she even saves someone’s life (not directly) but just by giving away money to people for food to put on their families tables. Something that you should know about this book is that every chapter is usually a new story about a new person or something new that you learn about Jane. Another thing you should know about this book is that it is a Christian book. Most people think that if it’s a book about God and how he can communicate to you that it’s going to be a bad book… you are wrong. This actually was a very good book and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone. less
