padre2's review: "Another good mystery by Rita Mae Brown. The plot was good but made even better by the renewed marriage of Harry and Fair. Plus, I learned alot about grapes, wine, and what it takes to operate a vineyard. Very interesting. Thanks again for a great story."

How to take the Answer from God or Faith thru Fasting, Power thru Prayer by A. A. Allen

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:07:49 -0400

padre2's review: "I found this tract in among a collection of materials that were donated to me. Finding this little booklet (tract) of no more than 40 pages, having never read anything by A. A. Allen, I thought I would give it a go. This little tract is from the tent ministry of A. A. Allen who was a famous Pentecostal tent revivalist in the mid-50s and 60s. Designed as a call for people to join him in regular fasting and prayer to God for a revival, the gist of the tract is that we need to wrestle the answers to our prayers from the clutch of the devil. Using the story of Daniel's prayer being held up by the Prince of Persia, he argues that the devil can "capture", if you will, the answers that God has given to our prayers preventing them from being fulfilled in our lives. He contends that only through fasting and prayer can we hope to see these most important answers released by the enemy. While the premise of the tract, leaves something to be desired from a biblical standpoint, I did enjoy and find impressive the extensive use of Scripture. It seems that his particular generation had a dedication and devotion to the Word of God that is often lacking in our day."

Whisker of Evil: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery by Rita Mae & Brown Brown, Sneaky Pie

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:09:35 -0400

padre2's review: "Another great read. This is my fourth or fifth book in this series. I really enjoy the characters especially the animals. Having a corgi and two cats myself, I am always amused by how well the author depicts and interprets the behavior of her animals. It makes one look at one's own animals in a different light. Being a clergyman, I did pick up on one inaccuracy in her description of her pastor's vestments. Not that it made a hill of beans to the story. It is just something I noted. She describes in two places what is typically called a stole as a surplice. A surplice is a white short garment worn overtop of a cassock. It typically has short billowing sleeves and is waist length. A stole on the other hand is the cloth that drapes over the neck and is usually the color of the season and may have religious symbols embroidered in it. It a stole that she refers to when she is describing her pastor's colorful and ornately decorated surplice."
