Lives Of The Irish Saints — I am one of those persons who have trouble passing a bookstore without stepping inside for a quick browse. Especially if it is a cut-price store, continuously bringing in new stock. I found ‘Lives of the Irish Saints’ on one of those forays. It is a direct translation of manuscripts…

A Little Child Shall Lead Them — God has things going on with kids, Christian and Non-Christian, adults may not be aware of. Sometime back a Christian newsletter I received had the story of the experience of a small girl. Her exact age I cannot remember. She was not old enough to attend school. Under the care…

I puzzled over this New Testament verse for a long time. 2Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a New Creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” My question was; why was I aware of so many of the old things still…

Patient Perseverance The Bible says; ‘let patience have her perfect work.’ Patience can be a key to quality writing.
