Members phkrause Posted July 3, 2009 Members Posted July 3, 2009 Yes I agree the Seals are a special group, but I include all the Special Force soldiers. They all go thru very difficult training, Marines, Army Rangers, Green Berets, etc. But look at Desmond Doss, he wasn't any of those and he probably saved more lives than anyone. I conceder him as special as them. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Liz Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Yes, I agree, I wasn't meaning on taking anything away from the other branches of the service. I was just mentioning the SEAL's because that was who the book was about. I also agree about Desmond Doss. In this day and age when the world tries to make hero's out of sports figures, singers, and movie stars it is really nice to run across the true hero's. These are the people we should try and get our children to emulate. Ordinary people who do extraodinary jobs that makes a difference in people's lives or they die trying. People like policemen/women, firefighters, and the men and women in uniform defending our country. O.k. off my soapbox now.

Administrators Gail Posted September 11, 2009 Author Administrators Posted September 11, 2009 Right now I'm in the middle of a children's book about the life of Thomas Gallaudet, who started America's first school for the deaf. Sickly as a youth, he was prevented from law and preaching as career choices. Finally, thinking about a neighbour girl who was deaf and mute, he got a vision. Moral of his life story- Don't think that ill health can destroy any dreams of doing something big for the Lord! You'd be surprised at what God may have in store for you! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
musashi Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Im currently reading. Vagabond Its a manga. Very inspiring story about The greatest sword master Miyamoto Musashi. Very humble beginnings to become a homeless dedicated sword fighter. Its different from other pop mangas since this is actually a very good story and a source of inspiration of living humbly. Please excuse myself of introducing very different and odd type type of reading materials. But I find the story very heart touching. Also has sword duels not for the faint of heart. I only read it online though. Its really worthwhile reading this stuff. http://www.onemanga.com/Vagabond/1/01/ Quote
Guest Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Right now I'm reading "Recieving the Word" by Samuel Koranteng Pipim It's really good. Quote

Members phkrause Posted October 10, 2009 Members Posted October 10, 2009 Who wrote them Won, and I'm guessing we can buy from the ABC? pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
whbae Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 The books were written by her grandson, Arther White and can be purchased at the ABC for about $60 or $70. I had to waite for them to get them, I guess, it it not a popular reading material. Won Quote
Members phkrause Posted October 10, 2009 Members Posted October 10, 2009 I'd say the price also made a difference, not all of us are dentist's you know. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
whbae Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 One does not have to purchase the entire volume. One at a time is good also, unless you can extract the money out of the peoples' mouths. Won Quote

Administrators Gail Posted October 16, 2009 Author Administrators Posted October 16, 2009 Re: the 6-volume EGW biography set- This is one of the best investments I've made, bookwise. It took me 6 months to read it but it was well worth it. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Liz Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I am working through the "Love Comes Softly" series by Janette Oke; I love her books. The Book Mobile comes on Sunday, I can't wait!!!!

Administrators Gail Posted October 16, 2009 Author Administrators Posted October 16, 2009 You know that Janette Oke lives in Alberta, don't you? I used to talk to sales reps that know her. Oh, and I don't know if you have any of the DVDs of that series, Liz, but the new one just came out recently. Unfortunately I've forgotten its name... :( Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Liz Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 No, I didn't know that she lived in Alberta. How cool is that?!?! I have watched all the movies but I don't have any of them. While I love the movies too, they really aren't like the books. Anyways, the Bookmobile came today, I got lots of goodies. Dare To Stand Alone by Bradley Booth Though the Heavens Fall by Kulakov/Schurch The Centurion by Stenbakken I can't wait to dive in....must.pace.myself.

SivartM Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 "Cannibals and Head-Hunters of the South Seas" By Charles Watson Review and Herald ... 1926 . Good Stuff. I have that book! Okay, so I unintentionally indefinitely borrowed it from a relative... but I still have it. :D Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.
