Seasons Books

Even if I didn't read every single "Hardy Boys" book there awesome. I just know because they fight and do boys stuff. I even read more "Hardy Boys" books than school work. I just wish they had a holiday where you read "Hardy Boys", for just one whole entire month (no school no nothing except reading "Hardy Boys").

Holy, man! I've read almost every single Casefile there is and I can list them all in order off the top of my head. I love their books and I think that they're great! The Casefiles are so much more interesting than the blue books. You know that there's always going to be danger and excitment in each book, but you also know that Frank is going to be teasing Joe and Joe is going to do something funny too. That's why I like all of their books.

I just started reading The Hardy Boys--before, I read Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys--but I think this was really good since Nancy Drew got kinda annoying after a while. It was interesting and it kept me reading--in fact, I pretty much read it in one sitting! Good characters and good plot.

I really love these new "Casefiles collector's editions" I've bought them all, and I think that this one is the best so far. In "Beyond The Law," Frank and Joe must help their old friend/enemy Ezra Collig, and clear him of extortion. In "Spiked!" they get involved in a case of murder in Southern Callifornia, and in "Open Season," the boys fight for their lives while on a cross country ski trip in the Colorado Rockies. I really enjoyed all three stories, and would recommend them to anyone.

This is a great series of books together! I espscially love Uncivil War(since the civil war i just love!) Choke hold is very suspenseful. Dixon stops the chapter right when something is happening to Frank or Joe. I just love it!

This novel was chosen by Barnes & Noble for the "Discover Great New Writers" program....It received a starred review in Publishers Weekly, indicating a novel of unusual merit and interest...Books Ireland said "This is a work of such might and muscle....Buy it."...The Irish Times said "Phelan has taken a...theme, the slaughter of innocence, and by dint of sheer lyrical power has turned it into something you won't forget for a very long time."...Library Journal said "This first novel, an unforgettable exploration of the shattering effects of violence, belongs in most fiction collections.... The French translation, "A La Saison des Marguerites," is published by Editions Balland.

Barnes & Noble selected IN THE SEASON OF THE DAISIES for its "Discover Great New Writers" program. Publisher's Weekly (1996) called IN THE SEASON... a "powerful novel" and awarded it a starred review. Library Journal (1993) said "This first novel, an unforgettable exploration of the shattering effects of violence, belongs in most fiction collections." The Irish Times (1993) said "Phelan has taken a...theme, the slaughter of innocence, and turned it into something you won't forget for a very long time." Books Ireland said "This is a work of such might and muscle....Buy it."

A wonderful and provocative book although some may find the subject matter a bit too rough for light reading. The book combines a graceful lyricism with a whole variety of interesting symbolism that demonstrates a depth of human understanding.

One curious example would be the character of Ms. Bevan who connotes pure compassion and understanding; a true Madonna figure. She is modern, monied, dignified and thought to be Protestant by everyone in town, which she is not. This subtle reflection of Irish self-loathing and the fact that Mr. Sheehan, a suffering moral hero, is the only one capable of even speaking to her makes an interesting commentary.

Also of note is the book's ambiguous treatment of Irish Republicanism. IRA members are all damaged characters suffering from their involvement and regretful, neurotic or base and ruthless in the extreme. It is fundamentally a romantic novel whereby the enviable qualities are of a personal nature and "collective" ideals are misguided and taken-up by unfortunate rabble and impetuous youth.

Who is responsible for Willie's death? The English, the IRA, all who where present, only those in favour of the killing, the village that reared the killers? The verdict seems to be that all are guilty, the pain is real and the living suffer most.

I think this book started out a little hard to understand and take in, but once you got down and started reading it, it grabbed you and sucked you in. It was well written and it gave you an idea of grief and love. I think anyone who hasn't read the book should.

Being somewhat of an "Americanized" European expatriate, I've always had trouble understanding the passion and connections inherent to that mysteriously unique Irish sensibility. Perhaps it has something to do with the vast ocean separating the U.S. and Europe.

Mr. Phelan's book is so touching, so powerful, I was moved to tears at one point. It's a deeply emotional account of one boy's personal tragedy... and coming out of it feels like coming off a long and painful relationship gone wrong. I'm grateful for having read it, and even more grateful to Mr. Phelan for writing it, but I hope I never suffer as much in my lifetime as little Seanie Doolin.

A great read, and suprising page-turner .. an absolutely unforgettable narrative. At times it reminded me (vaguely) of William Faulkner.

This book feels like a gourmet multi-course meal. You begin with the appetizer of small reflections on the readings for each of the first few days of Lent. Then you dive into more and more substantial reflections on a diverse array of topics from the necessity of the connection between Christology and Ecclesiology to a beautiful reflection on priesthood. This is truly the sort of nourishing read one needs at any time, and in particular during a season which is geared to helping us grow in love of God and His Church.

I found this book deeply inspiring. Pope Benedict is able to convey the most profound truths with extreme clarity and simplicity. His reflections lead the reader to encounter the Person of Christ, to discover Him and eventually to be willing to embrace the challenging invitation to follow Him on the way of true Love and Life. I loved it! I suggest it to anyone!

This is adapted from http://eagleandelephant.blogspot.com/2006/03/jews-and-eucharist-cardinal-ratzinger.html

This book is a re-publication of the earlier book Journey towards Easter, a collection of retreat talks then-Cardinal Ratzinger gave in the Vatican in the presence of Pope John Paul II during the Lenten season of 1983.

All the chapters are worth reading, but one stands out, especially during this time (Lent) of the liturgical year. "Chapter 4: The Paschal Mystery." It is divided into four sections:

1. Holy Thursday
2. The Washing of the Feet
3. The Connection between the Last Supper, the Cross and the Resurrection
4. Risen on the Third Day.

There are some powerful and prevocative thoughts here. Discussing the relation and root of the Songs of the Servant of God to understanding Jesus' death, Ratzinger writes:

"He made of his death an act of prayer, an act of adoration. ... [H]e cried 'with a loud voice' the opening words of Psalm 21, the great Psalm of the just man suffering and set free: 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'

"... [T]his dying cry of Jesus was the messianic prayer of the great Psalm of Israel's suffering and hope, which concludes with the vision of the poor satisfied and all the ends of the earth returning to the Lord. ... [T]he whole story of the passion is shot through with the threads of this Psalm, weaving in and out continually in an interchange between words and reality. ... It thus becomes clear that Jesus is the true subject of this Psalm ....

"... [W]hat took place at the Last Supper is an anticipation of the death, the transformation of the death into an act of love. ...

"The death without the Supper would be empty, without meaning; the Supper without the actual realisation of the death it anticipated would be a gesture without reality. Supper and Cross together ... The Eucharist does not spring from the Supper alone; it springs from this oneness of Supper and Cross ....

"Therefore the Eucharist is not simply Supper .... The Eucharist is the presence of Christ's Sacrifice, ... it is Christ distributing himself under the figure of bread and wine.

"... 'given for you', 'poured our for many for the remission of sins'. These words are found in the Songs of the Servant of God handed down to us in the book of the prophet Isaiah. These Songs presuppose the exilic period: Israel no longer has its Temple, the only legitimate place in which to adore God. So it seems exiled from God also--forlorn in the desert. No longer can sacrifices or expiation and praise be offered. The inevitable question arises: how can there now exist any relationship with God, on which depends the salvation of the people and of the world? In this passion, in this suffering of a life lived away from their homeland, a life far from their own culture, Israel underwent a new experience: the solemn praises of God could no longer be celebrated. The only possibility for drawing near to God was suffering for God. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Prophets understood that the suffering of believing Israel was the true sacrifice, the new liturgy, and that in this true litrugy Israel represented the world before the face of God. ... The hope found in their passion was that the suffering people were an anticipation of the true servant of God, and so, as 'sacramentum futuri' [a sacrament of things to come] , shared in his grace. By applying to the Last Supper these words about the Servant of God, Jesus says: I am this Servant of God. My passion and death are that definitive liturgy, that glorification of God which is the light and salvation of the world."

Here is where one experiences the preceding as a crescendo of sorts as Ratzinger builds up to then deliver the powerful and--to some or perhaps even to many--provacative lines about the people of Israel and their relation to the sacrifice of Christ in the Eucharist:

"Here we touch upon an important point for the celebration of the Eucharist. Israel concelebrated the Eucharist with Jesus, in that they shared in the sufferings of the Servant of God. To participate in the Eucharist, to communicate with the body and blood of Christ, demands the liturgy of our life, a sharing the passion of the Servant of God. In this participation our sufferings become 'sacrifice' and so we can complete 'in [our] flesh what is lacking in Christ's affliction' (Col 1, 24)."

Pp. 103-107.

Excellent book to help deepen our faith as we journey through the Lenten Season to the beautiful Easter Celebrations.

Do not be dismayed by the few year's old publication date of this excellent collection of meditations upon this liturgical season, thinking that this is not therefore the "latest thing" in Lenten and Paschaltide theology. These reflections were actually first given as part of Pope John Paul II's Lenten retreat by then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 1983, already now a quarter century ago, and yet ring as truly and profoundly now as then.

As a former and respected seminary professor, who first recieved his position through the recomendations of fellow Catholic theologian, the influential and even infamous Reverend Father Hans Kung, who served as seminary professor for such influential Catholic theologians as Friar Leonardo Boff in Munich and who no doubt influenced the Basque Roman Catholic theologian, the Reverend and Jesuit Father Jon Sobrino studying in Frankfort, he who later served closely the martyred Jesuit community at the UCA in San Salvador, this talented seminary professor who also served with the Reverend Father Edward Schillebeeckx on the influential serial publication Concilium's editorial board, Pope Benedict XVI has the ability and the wisdom and the preparation to present for us the infinite mysteries, to express in human words the ineffable Spirit, to unfold for us that which is hidden deeply within the Lenten and Paschal Season, through the very words of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Here we may read the genesis of these words, many of which spring from the Psalms, as explained here by Pope Benedict XVI, who thereby explains the fulfillment of the Messianic and prophetic promises of the Old Testament within the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as the good professor ably wweaves the intimate communication between the Old and the New.

This book, so accessible here upon the amazon, therefore presents for us faithful Roman Catholics seeking true and pure waters as we wander in the wilderness a rich fountain of Faith, a source of confidence and of wisdom, as these talks were given for Pope John Paul II by an able professor of Catholic dogma, and thus ought to be good enough for us as well, far better and richer and deeper for instance than the popularized and watered down offerings by Liguori of random writings by GK Chesterton around a Lenten theme. Read here instead in its fullness our Faith, our Roman Catholic theology, by one of its greatest authorities.

Of special interest to those who read this book and who realize this Pope and his predecessor condemn the US invasion and occupation of Iraq will be the Reverend Father Andrew Greeley's excellent collection of essays: A Stupid, Unjust, and Criminal War: Iraq, 2001-2007. Intriguing works by other approved authors of Roman Catholic theology mentioned in this review include Jesus in Latin America, Mysterium Liberations: Fundamental Concepts of Liberation Theology, Lord's Prayer: The Prayer of Integral Liberation, Praying With Jesus And Mary: Our Father, Hail Mary, and Lord Is My Shepherd: Divine Consolation in Times of Abandonment. Other recommended reading for this Lenten period include of course as ever Disarming the Heart: Toward a Vow of Nonviolence.

The illustrations alone make this book worth purchasing. While it's simply enjoyable you can also use this book to talk about so much, the passage of time and passing of the seasons for a start. We also enjoyed looking at the detail and hidden pictures in the illustrations.

My 3 yo granddaughter loves the moon and loves this book. Although the prose is spare, it captures the essence of each month's full moon. The illustrations are soft, subtle and like Rylant's writing, full of wondrous detail.

This is a fabulous pairing of writer and illustrator. They compliment each other perfectly. I enjoy this one as much as my granddaughter.

This book is a remarkable achievement. Rylant's simple yet moving and profound poems capture the magic and wonder of the night-time, and they have been further brought to life - and to light, amazingly so, in a rich diversity of luminous grays, blues, purples - by the illustrator.

Reading it with my five-year-old niece, who has often been afraid alone at night, was truly delightful: Long Night Moon brings out the richness, softness and intimacy of the nocturnal environment, in a way that a child finds reassuring.

The journey of the seasons is shown in snapshots, panning along a 360° view of the same landscape, bringing us back, at December's Long Night Moon, to the homey scene of the beginning. It gives a feeling of completeness and harmony, one more of the very successful uses of symbolism and imagery by this author/illustrator pair who were very fortunate to find one another.

I've recommended this book to several friends, who told me it also gave them very pleasant reading experiences with the children in their life.

i read this book late at night in the winter time during the full moon, and was so taken with the artwork, i stayed awake to reread and reread it. the landscape really caught me, i could feel it and smell it, it felt like i was walking through this panorama. i loved looking at each page to see how it connected to the page before, how the road got closer, then further away as i kept walking. when i read the book to my kindergartners, they were awed and silent. they loved finding some of the hidden art in the drawings, looking for the wolf in the sky was their favorite. this is a magical book, which leaves you feeling hushed, peaceful, happy.

Grear book to inspire young writers to take off an re write thie own versions

I loved Devlin's A Maid for All Seasons, it kept my interest in more ways then one, I had a hard time putting the book down and read it in just a couple of days. I look forward to reading everything he writes he has become my # 1 spanking author!!

Keep them coming!!!!

OK so what's it about ... well it's certainly a special fetish book for those readers that do enjoy erotic spanking. I have reviewed many of the erotic lit books in Amazon and have through the years received emails from readers requesting reccommendations for these types of books ..... this one sure has to be the hefties of all ...at almost 500 pages this large volume is prctically nothing but the repeated spanking of the young maid Lisa ...

There are some normal sex episodes in this book but I would probably count them as no more than five pages, if that, and you could count them on one hand ... even if you were missing fingers .... LOL

Anyway I certainly didn't like this book .. but the it really wan't written for me ....

This book is good entertainment for everyone. It uses humor and every day situations to give a feeling of reality to the story plot. Mr. Swaynes firm but loving correction leaves no doubt that he really cares about Lisa.

All in all..it is good entertainment.

Chapter by chapter, volumes 1 and 2 just get better and better and I can hardly wait for volume 3! I'm torn between wanting to read on and on past my bedtime (uh oh!) or limiting myself to one delightful chapter at a time. If you've ever found a spanking story arousing -- or have wished to be involved in adult spanking -- this is the series for you. The spanking activities and reactions of all involved are quite realistically presented and the characters grow and achieve more depth throughout the series. The author really does understand the female point of view, but I can attest that it comes from his being a wonderfully bright and funny, safe, sane, and consensual, experienced male top who definitely knows how to spank a bottom!

The Maid for All Seasons series is an exciting blend of erotica and fetish based in a plot line that is written not to frame the sexual scenes but to drive them. O'Neill has taken a taboo subject and written it not only for men but for women as well. Not crass or harsh it focuses on those subtle nuances that will appeal to women, though men will enjoy the theme and detail given to the story's more basic desires. Written the way foreplay should feel this series should establish a fan base that crosses gender and lifestyle boundaries.

I have enjoyed all of the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas cd's and this is no exception. We used it at the yarn shop during Christmas season and it was well received by our customers. Yes, people do ask what cd is playing. I know people do purchase these cd's for their own use.

I like very much this book, have good thoughts and is special for the seasson.

The pieces were written and/or collected by Chip Davis and are poignant and nostalgic. A most enjoyable reading at the holidays.
Also includes a 2-song CD...very nice.

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Celebration
The music of Chip Davis in Mannheim Steamroller is like no other music I've ever heard. The instruments come through beautifully. I have several Mannheim Steamroller CDs and have given many to friends over the years. You have to listen and enjoy!

It is a great piano reduction. It sounds mannheim steamrolleresque, even though it doesn't have all the drums and horns and stuff. You have that feel of it just in the piano. it's great.

How a man who has spent his career in electron optics can write about the life of a moonshiner is a puzzle. Rod has done just that! A great tale with the right mix to keep you up at night to finish the book. I hope Norville keeps the stories coming.

Set during the rowdy prohibition era, Rod Norville's Moonshine Expenses is the story of Rob McKinley, a thirteen-year-old boy and his friend Katie who lives in a Florida swamp, with half-breed Seminole moonshiners among their neighbors. When they stumble across an illegal moonshine ring, Rob and Katie must flee for their lives and find themselves stealing a train! Moonshine Express is highly recommended and thoroughly entertaining reading as a wild and desperate saga of escape, independence, and the struggle to survive.

Loved the novel! Moonshine Express by Rod Norville is an exciting adventure story. The book depicts very well the language of the area, and expresses the fear and excitement caused by the hoodlums in the moonshine business. Like "Harry Potter". the story would be enjoyable for a wide range of readers. Also, Moonshine Express can make a great movie.

Moonshine Express is a delightful and entertaining story about young
lovers in the Old South. Rob and Katie are growing up and discovering
the world. The world is harsh and tough, and they are young and alive.
Their courage and character are tested when people trying to kill them.
This is the best book I have read in years.

I went to work with four hours of sleep and it was Norville's fault. I was going to read the book until I came to a break in the action and go to bed. I couldn't put it down and finished it after 1 AM. I am normally asleep by 10 PM.

I am not sophisticated enough to know what is good art or good literature. I only know what I like and I liked this book. That's why I couldn't put it down until I finished it. The descriptive passages put me right at the scene. In the beginning I saw Rob as the kid in the movie of The Yearling. When he got to school and heard about latrines he started to look like Andy Griffith in No Time For Sergeants. Finally he looked like a composite of guys I grew up with. Congratulations.

What an irony! A contemplative mystic, who lives in Mystic Connecticut, writes a book of prose and poetry about a year in the life of her garden. What other name could a book like this have? This is a charming little book. It probably will not catch the fancy of more pragmatic people, but then again it doesn't try to. If you are into theology, philosophy, or "how to" books, leave this one alone. If you enjoy romance and poetic thought, take time to smell the roses in this mystic garden. Some things are better enjoyed than dissected. This is one of them.

Gunilla has a way of relating the simple, ordinary, mundane tasks of life to the profound. Her metaphor, in this case gardening, gives honor to the repetitive, unrewarding tasks which ultimately, hopefully, result in beauty and creative expression. She goes a step further by embracing the hard, disappointing and, in some cases, ugly into the landscape both of our literal gardens and of our ultimate garden: the soul.

Gunilla Norris' work is wonderful. The way she writes in mystical and wonderful. She weaves spirtuality into everyday things. I love her work. She is an amazing author.

Gunilla Norris is a truly gifted writer. She has a unique way of understranding the world and an equally unique way of communicating that understanding in her books. She savors everyday events and turns them into poetry. She asks us to take the time to appreciate the process of cultivating and nurturing a garden while being mindful of the kind of hard work that goes into creating its beautiful bounty. The parallel to life is clear. This book is a real treasure!

In our increasingly fast-paced, outwardly focussed culture of immediate gratification, Norris' book calms and refreshes like a drink of water for the soul. She reminds us that every visible blossom has deep and hidden roots that followed their own natural rhythms to produce the splendor that we call Spring. She calms the anxiety by reminding us that all good things take time. Her writing touches the universal heart and is as exquisite in its focus and simplicity as it is profound in depth. A must read for anyone ready to marry intention with action to create a meaningful life.

Dori Chaconas never disappoints with her thoughtful and poignant stories. This one especially fits the bill! A tremendous and loving story between parent and child that is timeless. Her poetic rhythmic writing is enough to warm any heart on a cold winter's day.

What a lovely book to share with a young child! The warmth and love shared between the father and daughter come through in both the lilting language and rich illustrations. A perfect gift, especially for families who either live in snowy places or wish they did.

If there is anybody ever left out of the baby shower process it's Papa. In fact, all to often we don't think of fathers being involved emotionally with infants, especially girls. That's one of the reasons this book is so spectacular. This is a special text with special illustrations about a father and his baby girl, exploring the world together On a Wintry Morning. They bundle up and head out on a white, crisp day, to follow bunny trails, make snow angles, take a sleigh ride, and even buy a new pup. The book comes full circle with daddy and daughter back home, cozy, dozy and warm.

The illustrations are soft and wondrous, with obvious emotional investment by the artist. The text is seamless--a lilting, musical lullaby. Look for this book to win awards. But most importantly watch it win hearts. A perfect book for fathers everywhere, to encourage and validate father/child relationships. If you're off to a baby shower for a special couple with a new baby girl, wrap this book up and include it in your gift. You won't be sorry. It's a treasure to pass on from generation to generation.

This is the most beautiful picture book I've seen in a long time. Each illustration is truly a work of art. The short verses sound effortless and perfect, and celebrate the simple joys of life and family. The picture of the little girl investigating bunny tracks, and of daddy and baby snuggled for a nap, will be reassuringly familiar to any young child who sees them, and will tug at the heartstrings of adults. This would be a wonderful gift for any new parent, especially fathers.

The art, by Caldecott winning Stephen Johnson is fabulous. The text, written by Dori Chaconas, sings! The art and text together are a perfectly paired feast for the eyes and ears. Children will love repeating the lyrical phrases. Adults will love how Johnson captures the special relationship between a father and his baby daughter as they spend a day in the snow. The ending, when the father tucks his little girl in for a nap is absolutely precious! A great gift for every daddy and daughter. Also makes a wonderful baby shower gift. I plan to give this right alongside Goodnight Moon. Lovely!

This is a question, not a review. Where are the two reviews that were previously written? I wrote one of them that had been posted here, but I see now that it's gone, and that someone else can be "the first to write a review on this book." So...what happened?

An outstanding read. I did not expect this book to grab my attention and hold it to the very end. I would highly recommend it to all readers. I can not wait until Ms Nuernberg provides us with another historical novel. I really have a new appreciation for men and women who were able to be steadfast in their faith regardless of the opposition.

In truth, I realized "Only Glory Awaits" was mainly geared towards women, but it was the only novel I could find on the interesting early Protestant martyr Anne Askew. I wasn't disappointed. Nuernberg executes the characterization and plot well as readers follow Anne through a peasent revolt, a terrible marriage, her trial, and ultimately her finding glory. I must say that some of the more violent scenes such as the torture and final execution were tastefully done and managed to create emotion without going over-the-top. Likewise, the more simple aspects of the character's life were well written as well. Just over a month ago, I was in London and saw some of the sights featured in the novel such as the Tower (though unfortunantly I didn't go in) and Smithfield (I didn't notice that much in the part of Smithfield I was in, but the knowledge of what took place around there made me glad I took the time to walk/jog there). Overall, a sad but very good story of Christian sacrifice and overcoming the odds. I do have one question though. It was my understanding that Anne had children, but they aren't mentioned in the story. Someone please tell me if they know why.
Hopefully, Nuernberg will have future success with historical fiction. If she plans to write further on martyrs, I hope she considers some of the Marian Martyrs such as Rowland Taylor, Cicely Ormes, or perhaps even married couples such as James and Margery Austoo or Edmund and Katherine Allin. As less is known about most of these people besides Taylor, there would be plenty of room for author's imagination. Anyway though, the book on Akew was enjoyable, sad, and potentially inspiring. I recommend it to anyone interested in early Protestant martyrs or emotional historical fiction.

In Only Glory Awaits, Leslie S. Nuernberg presents independent, young Anne Askew, a noblewoman educated far beyond most ladies in sixteenth-century England. When she receives Christ, she openly embraces Reformist doctrines, shocking her more conservative father and stepmother. But Anne?s newfound faith comforts her when a peasant revolt threatens her father?s and brothers? lives.

After the clamor dies down, Anne begins to witness to family members, servants, and peasants in the surrounding countryside. Her straightforward presentation of Scripture and excellent debate skills create tension within the Askew home, especially with her stepmother. But Anne?s tenacity and an unforeseen tragedy will propel her life into danger.

While the historical detail in this novel is impressive, the prose is stilted and awkward throughout. The enigmatic main character shows herself as both a pious saint and a liberated feminist, an unusual mix for the 1500s. Omnipresent point of view distances readers from the story, and the somewhat flat characters fail to pull readers back in. The plotline carries the required rising action, but events become merely history as Anne makes decisions that will determine her future. Recommended to those interested in Reformation martyrs and who would like a story slightly less dry than history books. --Katie Hart, Christian Book Previews.com

I began this book as just another "bed time" read ... how so wrong I was. ONLY GLORY AWAITS is so much more than a historical novel. Ms Nuernberg makes you feel and live the experience. With her impeccable research, Ms Nuernberg relays to us aspects of the times on Christianity that I, for one, have not felt that passionate about for a long time. I found I started challenging myself on how I approach every day. Could I take a stand like that? I don't think that there are alot of us today that could stand up to the trials that Anne Askew survived. Wouldn't it be nice if the passion that we put into earning money, playing or working could be put into something that inspired people to believe in God and the good that is around us. Thank you Ms Nuernberg for the story of Anne Askew and the motivation to better myself.
