#1 He Made Me Brave by Pam Ogden
This is not a fairy tale—but it does have suspense, humor, a quest, and a happy ending. When Jason and Pam Ogden decided to adopt a baby, they had no idea that their adoption process would stretch over a period of two years, and that their baby would be a toddler by the time they were able to bring him home. Taken straight from Pam’s personal travel journal, He Made Me Brave chronicles the long-awaited emotional trip she and her husband took to South Korea to meet their new son.
He Made Me Brave is the touching memoir of a mother defying fear to be united with the little boy she had been dreaming of for two years, and an account of hope fulfilled.

#2 Keeping Tally by Christy Duncan
Wrought with bitterness, consumed with lies, I was a walking, breathing, miserable Christian. I knew sin had to be present, but I struggled to locate the source. I could have been put in the grave at that point and folks would have gone on about how much I loved and served the Lord.
This is a book about recognizing common lies that so often entangle us. Together, let us suit up, pick up the sword, and reclaim the hope in Jesus. He died to set the captives free, and it’s time to live as free men and women.

#6 In My Head by Peggie Sinders
When American troops were ordered back to the US in 1973, the South Vietnamese bravely fought two more years against the North Vietcong, only to lose the war after running out of supplies in 1975. The North Vietcong immediately captured the South Vietnamese military and condemned them to communist prison camps. The higher in rank, the longer they stayed to live a life of starvation, sickness, and death.
In My Head tells how one man, Thanh Chau, a Major in the Air Force, endured 10 years in prison camps. Over the years, Thanh would move 14 times to various camps (including the jungles of North Vietnam) and be given a change of clothing only four times. Though he would help build huts and plant vegetable gardens, he would not be allowed to eat more than meager rations.
He would also see firsthand the horrific deaths of prisoners at the hands of the Vietcong. Since prisoners were not allowed to talk to each other, Thanh would be forced to keep his thoughts to himself throughout those years. Now, this book allows him the chance to reveal what was in his head throughout the toughest time of his life.

#7 The Art of War by Sun Tzu
This classic novel is over 2,500 years old, but its advice remains as true today as it did the day it was written. Originally written as a battlefield strategy guide that has long been required reading of military officers everywhere, “The Art of War” is an insightful tome whose battlefield insights have been skillfully co-opted by legions of leaders in the business world and beyond. The book is remarkably impactful for being a mere 68 pages long, with dozens of pieces of interesting advice on the tactics and strategies needed to defeat your enemies (or in the business world, competitors) that translate just as well in the boardroom as they do on the battlefield. A true literary treasure!

#9 The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
“The Metamorphosis” isn’t just one of the best books under 100 pages, it’s one of the best books, period. It’s a great little novel that serves as an excellent introduction to Kafka for anyone unfamiliar with his work. The book details the transformation of the main character from a man into an insect, in uniquely Kafkaesque fashion. The book proceeds to delve into his adaptation to his new life, although it never precisely explains why this happened. For a short introduction to Kafka, it’s a great choice.
