"We who preach & write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding…If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly." Augustine

comment worth reading.

I just received the following comment on The Strength of a Man--A Woman and
wanted to share it with my readers...very beautiful and insightful. Though I
have not read the book and do not like sharing titles I have not read, I
think this one is worth taking the risk...her words have substance:

Heart--A Woman.":

My father died when I was six years old...I didnt know him much at all...he
was very sick for the time I did have with him....when I was 16-yrs-old..I
realized, at the first wedding I ever attended, that I would not have my dad
to walk me down the isle at my wedding...it was a profoundly difficult
moment to face...my mom's response to me was typical as she said to me "dont
be so silly and stop feeling so sorry for yourself.'.....my mom crushed most
of my dreams as a girl...I have forgiven her, and continue to do so...
But...when the book 'Captivating' came out, I was sure I wasnt going to read
it, there just wasnt anything in that little title that I wanted a part
of,...I mean I have worked hard...real hard to keep the desires of my soul
hidden, stuffed away and out of reach...to anyone...until...my journey with
My Heavenly Father had come to a place where His desires out-voiced mine...I
read the book...I read the book and found a treasure of refreshment, a
vulnerable spirit of a woman(and her husband) sharing what a womans soul
is...how it is supposed to be, how it can still become...beautiful....I may
not have the life I would like...because of my past, but today I can look
ahead and know that there is more...there is always promise..and hope...we
just have to be willing...to let Him lead.
