"This book was so good that I stayed up until 3:00 am and read the book cover-to-cover in one sitting.
On the surface, the story doesn't sound that interesting. It's a book about a man named Ove, who lives in Sweden and is your typical grumpy old man." Read more of this review » |

Hi.Merry Christmas.What We Talk About When We Talk About Love?PLZ Answer The Question In My Profile.
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)
Have you ever heard the song with these words? "Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours...
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now."
It's by John Michael Talbot and I've found where you can download it but I'm just too technologically ignorant to know how! The song, however, is beautiful!
God bless, booklady
Thanks, Karen! I'm glad you are enjoying Ancient Paths.
Skylar, I am really enjoying your "Ancient Paths" magazine. Thanks so much for doing this great service for Christian Writers.
Skylar, I've added your book Conviction: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride & Predjudice to my to-read list.
