Latest read

I just finished a very satisfying book, Blood Sisters, by Melody Carlson. It is categorized in our local library as "inspirational", and has some of the expected characteristics of such books, such as no explicit scenes and characters that believe in God and turn to Him in times of trouble.

This particular book happens to have a riveting plot line and deals with such issues as racism and hate crimes in a non-sensationalist and realistic manner.

I recommend it.

Woah!!! There's a lot I apparently didn't know about Mother Angelica! Was her spinal fusion surgery in the same city as yours?

This time, my dh even read the book--its rare that we have the same taste in everyday books, but he lived through the era of civil rights in this country--in the American South--so he really enjoyed the book.

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
