I read it a couple of years ago and had many of the same sentiments, especially about the well-written prose and spirituality of the book. Perhaps it could be on your list this year?Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278088071752405589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034537378568183297.post-54813126394117044212009-01-05T00:27:00.000-05:002009-01-05T00:27:00.000-05:00"I have decided the two choices open to me are (1)..."I have decided the two choices open to me are (1) to torment myself or (2)to trust the Lord. There is no earthly solution to the problems that confront me. But I can add to my problems, as I believe I have done, by dwelling on them. So, no more of that.
