<1>"He needed to submit himself to the ancient rythms of the eternal sea, which wore at him as waves wore at rock, smoothing the sharp edges of anxiety in his mind, polishing away the splinters in his heart. The sea delivered the message that life was nothing more than meaningless mechanics and cold tidal forces, a bleak message of hopelessness that was transquilizing precisely because it was brutally humbling." pg 25 </i>

I don't know if I totally agree with this above comment but I definitely feel humbled while in the presence of anything as immense and commanding as the mighty ocean. ]]> <![CDATA[Nicholas added 'New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Comprehensive']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72442736 to: New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Comprehensive (New Perspectives) by June Jamrich Parsons

bookshelves: favorites, fiction, historical
This novel is a brutally wonderful piece of literature about post-civil war wild west, the hostility and confusion of mankind, the lack of faith and the abundance of promise is all very relevant. This is a very engrossing read and I couldn't help my fingers from itching to turn the next page.

Gabriel’s Story is very powerful, wonderfully deep and constantly moving.
