HIGHLY recommended to all SEEKERS!

Audiobook version!

(This book) is not for those who get nosebleeds reading Atlas Shrugged...

Things are heating up at the ranch after the discovery of a body - and the quiet, unassuming Miss Pink is there to piece together the puzzle. The venue is a welcome change from the dingy alleys or bleak cities in most mysteries!

To the dark depths of Hell, and up into radiant light - with a beautiful Autistic child. I honestly don’t want this audiobook to end!

I had been a university librarian on the East Coast. Local people are slow to accept newcomers; they have seen many of them come and go, and I am sure they thought I was one of those bookish types with a head stuffed full of theories about (living) in the country... None of us is making much money, but we stay with farming because we like to mess around with animals.

An endlessly fascinating, almost free-association ramble through beekeeping lore and legend, stitched together in a most attractively conversational manner. The ebook is very inexpensive today on Amazon!

Miss Pink, Grizzly whisperer: Doughty old Britisher Miss Pink, alone in a pass of the Rocky Mountains of Montana, encounters a gigantic Grizzly. Instead of freezing in fear, instead - as one intimate with the habits you wild animals - she gently carries on a conversation with it to COMFORT the beast! And in the end he quietly lopes away... and so the search for victims continues.

I’ve got the Audible book - I’ll let you all know how it is. A bit of enlivening fiction amid all my current Audible nonfiction!

Why do we always fall into the trap of seeing our internet buddies as a nameless, faceless crowd of good guys? Here’s why...
Levinas protests that “Western thinking (is always by its very duality) a reduction of the Other (real, fallible, breathing human people) to ‘the Same’ (the nameless, faceless crowd)”!
- It’s in the very air we breathe.

Several years ago, author Michael Phillips underwent a cataclysmic spiritual crisis.
Now he sees the New Testament in a radically - though obediently - new way.
This is about what he discovered.

The prim Miss Melinda Pink’s innocent and well-bred neutrality gleams like a white mountain snow cap amid the rough-hewn cowhands, cowgirls and cowboys of Montana, any one of which could be up to some serious no good out in the shoot-‘n-shovel wilderness!

He not only perfectly understands our case and our problem, but He has morally, actively, finally solved it.

Chillingly insightful. Murder meets the Rocky mountaineer...

Just HAD to get this, since the ebook is a REAL STEAL today on Amazon, & its premise sounds SO good!

I think the Miss Pink mysteries are great - especially for people of a certain age, like me, who have a settled life and enjoy glitteringly intelligent murder yarns set in the wide open spaces of the Great Outdoors! And... they’re inexpensive, a real plus for any pensioner!

This great ebook is on sale at Amazon today for $1.99!

I am hooked from the start. A great mystery series featuring the steel-trap intelligence of an elderly British mountaineer and nature enthusiast. Miss Pink rocks! $0.99 today for the Amazon ebook.

The bravery and resilience of this wonderful girl is amazing!

Be still, my soul, and steadfast.
Earth and heaven both are still watching
Though time is draining from the clock
And your walk, that was confident and quick,
Has become slow.
So, be slow if you must, but let
The heart still play its true part.

Your own will
Your own worry
Your own striving
All of this disturbs your peace.
Only consider the flowers
In clear, Summer weather:
They keep very still then open their petals.

Good, basic and wholesome reminders of grace in our lives!

When you’re sinking in the raging Sea of Life, the Lord can be your Lifesaver!

The baker Zanvel, the Singers’ neighbour in poor 1930’s Warsaw, wants Isaac’s father to draft a lawsuit - against his wife’s dog... ‘Rabbi, I work long hard hours for her - and it’s the dog she kisses! Rabbi, I want a rabbinical judgement! I want you to decide which of us is more important - a man or a dog.’ - More merry Singer mayhem! Love it.

(For the Ancients) the order of the Natural cosmos followed the order in the Social cosmos... Lack of order in the cosmos could only be repaired by reestablishing the human social order.(and I guess our own lives began, like history, in such Natural Animism. When the bad guys ruined our social order, our Animism became irreparably fractured!)

As soon as the condemned man is strapped in securely, the bed is set in motion. It quivers with tiny, very rapid oscillations back and forth, and up and down simultaneously. You could have similar devices in mental hospitals! ...but it’s the razor-sharp harrower which has the job of really executing the sentence.
- (My amendments to this awful translation are necessarily legion!)

If you don’t know the kind of person I am
and I don’t know the kind of person you are
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star..
For it important that awake people be awake...
the darkness around us is deep.

Where are you? You were with me and are gone.
All the forgiven couples hurry on
To dinner and their nights, and none will stop.
I run about in circles till I drop
Against a padlocked bulkhead in a yard
Where faces redden and the snow is hard.

A horrendous translation - so don’t buy it! I myself am pretty familiar with this dark favourite, and I just skim through it enough to savour K’s excruciating irony once again...
