I usually write novels or poetry, but I've recently produced a little something in the guidebook genre. It's only available in a Kindle edition, though these days you don't need a Kindle to read a Kindle book - just a computer or a smart phone. You can get free Kindle software for either.

added a quote
"The hard core of morality and even of religion seems to me to be just what makes good comedy possible...Where there is no norm, nothing can be ridiculous, except for a brief moment of unbalanced provincialism in which we may laugh at the merely unfamiliar. Unless there is something about which the author is never ironical, there can be no true irony in the work."

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
Skylar, I am really enjoying your "Ancient Paths" magazine. Thanks so much for doing this great service for Christian Writers.
