The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body. The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. -King Solomon

Vintage style, Hold on to your kids, Screwtape, Bloodletting, Praying woman, Ninth Witness
Decorating vintage style by Christina Strutt not so great, poor photography, however, some very cluttered interiors inspired me to go tidy up.
Hold on to your kids : why parents matter by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté was very long. But somewhat interesting. I didn't agree with everything but I did agree that kids need their parents and family more than they need anyone else. And that too much "socializing" with their peers often does more harm than good.
The Screwtape letters; with, Screwtape proposes a toast by C. S. Lewis was great. Sometimes a little funny, and always thought-provoking. In case you don't know, they are a collection of letters written from an old demon giving advice to his nephew.
Bloodletting & miraculous cures : stories by Lam, Vincent. Uh, not really my style. No comment.
The power of a praying woman by Stormie Omartian. I got bogged down in this one and didn't finish it.
Ninth witness by Bodie Thoene was an excellent novel. It was about Jesus at 12 and was very interesting. Not at all irreverent or overly imaginative, it was entirely within the realm of possibility.
