| DNF. Not THAT "bad", but two stars because I didn't like it, and it wasn't for me. It's also not really Sanderson's strong point in my opinion. There's too many characters and I don't really like the "mental health" conceit with regard to the way it' ...more | |

Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making
by Andrew Peterson (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Without being pretentious or overbearing, Peterson uses his memoir to illustrate how many of the common bits of advice for Christian "creatives" (sorry Peterson) work out in practice. Real life and real sinners, of course, rarely conform to the the i ...more | |

"Glad I got to read this classic text of Church History. It is a fascinating picture of the first three centuries of the Church through the eyes of Eusebius. There are many early Christian texts (some helping illumine aspects of the NT) that we would "

Wonderful! Ah, Cicely, too bad you never heard of Ursinia. It was nice to read all the poems that go with the illustrations I was such a fan of since I was a child. |

"This is a new edition of a previously published book. My daughter has the earlier version and I purchased the newer version for my niece, as they both adore it. Both are hardback, with good quality paper and includes the original books: Flower Fairie"

“What we called "polite society", I felt, was actually a thin skin stretched over the rotting corpse of what used to be a moral framework. Once there had been goodness and kindness and respect for other human beings beneath that facade. Now there was only a writhing mass of maggots and filth.”

“But he held her close and strong, whispering words of honest love and passion, and when she sobbed-- "Not that-- not that--I have promised! You must--you must know--I am--not--worthy--" In the purity of his own heart her words were, to him, meaningless then, meaningless for ever after.”

“Death is a great price to pay for a red rose,” cried the Nightingale, “and Life is very dear to all. It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?”

“She sang of the Love that is perfected by death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb.”

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

“Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'
'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.
'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'
'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'
'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”
