What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath – prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, who he prepared in advance for glory –…

                    Readers have preferences from genres to how they read, where they read, and even when they read. My opinion is that it's not really a competition between a print copy of a book and reading a Kindle or another e-reader. Rather it's a simple matter…

          Okay. For a basically serious person which I truly am, I can be incredibly silly. When I'm alone. Does anyone else take advantage of an empty house to do stupid and/or silly things? No? Don't you dance around like a fool, make faces in the mirror, sing along with your…

                        Wow. Didn't see that coming! It's been a long time since anyone reviewed The Famous One on Amazon (since 2017). I could've gone a lot longer without any more of them rather than reading my first 1 star review. I'm not going to…

  A great message from a greater time. Lots of hits from this group.   Father, we're here because of you. You defined us and gave us each our roles in this life. Thank you for every person who honors you in what they do and for those who will find you in the future.…

  To continue with the topic of graphic sexual and language scenes in general market/secular literature, we shouldn't omit from the graphics discussion the violence factor and how it's portrayed. Detailed accounts of horrific deeds occur on the pages of murder/suspense/thriller novels.  First, let's address the sexual and language scenes. The alternatives to reading these…

                                  There are a few, not counting Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills and Brad Thor, general market/secular authors I've enjoyed reading this past year. These authors wrote some good stories, complex mysteries, some well done romance mixed in with appealing characters.…

            Another of those long ago places I visited. This is Piccadilly Circus in London where I actually called (in a real phone booth) David Hemmings' agent and secured an appointment! Ah, memories . . .    Father, you protected me from so many things and myself in those days…
