Will be starting “Trail of the Lonesome Pine” by John Fox, Jr. Really recommend his short stories & “The Little Shepherd Of Kingdom Come.” Great book for kids, too.Hard to find in our local libraries, though.They tend to get rid of the “oldies.”

Our library has a sale of old books every now and then, hardcovers for 25 cents and paperbacks for a dime. There are some well worn old and good books occasionally. I’m struggling thorough “Violence At Work”, by Joe Kinney ca. 1995, published by Prentiss-Hall. How do you go about getting permission to quote material from a copyrighted work? I sent a letter a few weeks ago but maybe it has to be certified mail. Who knows, please let me know:)

“GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.” That quote of course comes from Matthew. I am currently reading " INSIDE AFGHANISTAN" by JOHN WEAVER.
He is THE AMERICAN WHO STAYED BEHIND AFTER 9/11. AND HIS MISSION OF MERCY TO A WAR-TORN PEOPLE. His book is great!

check out some of the bookstores in your area, they may have tent sales. I know of one in Nashville that has 1 or 2 every year.
Psalm 19: “Day after day they pour forth speech: night after night they display knowledge”

I Am reading John Weaver"s INSIDE AFGHANISTAN. THE AMERICAN WHO STAYED BEHIND AFTER 9/11, AND HIS MISSION OF MERCY TO A WAR-TORN PEOPLE. I had the opportunity to hear him speak this past Sunday, and was really impressed by this young man. John is following "GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAP
 
I’ve discovered an awesome book titled “Get Us Out Of Here!!”, by Nicky Eltz. The author basically has a conversation with Maria Simma, a true mystic in our times. She was visited by souls from Purgatory with requests for Masses, prayers, good works, ect. on their behalf to free them. In addition to these requests, some of the suffering souls told her about the state of the church, the world and other important issues. Our former Holy Father, Pope John Paul 11 had given Maria Simma his blessing to continue her apostolate and she had been visited by a Bishop and an Archbishop who both love the Church and both love the Blessed Mother, and both were very close to the Holy Father. This is truly an inspiring book to remind us to pray for the souls in Purgatory and have Masses offered on their behalf,and offer all our sufferings and good works for them. Unfortunately, Maria Simma passed away in 2004. I cried when I read that. She was truly a beautiful and humble soul. I recommend this book for everyone.
