A short summary of The Mount of Olives: How Felix found the path to the cross with help from Haziq. My favorite Michael V. Ivanov quote from the book: "Your life today reflects much of the habits you have created. Do not take this lightly." Questions to ponder while reading the book: Do you like to sleep? Are you comfortable? My review of The Mount of Olives: A quick little Christian-themed story. Great bits of wisdom within.

  A short summary of The Screwtape Letters: Just a few letters between demons. My favorite C.S. Lewis quote from the book: " A thousand bawdy, or even blasphemous, jokes do not help towards a man’s damnation so much as his discovery that almost anything he wants to do can be done, not only without the disapproval but with the admiration of his fellows, if only it can get itself treated as a Joke." Questions to ponder while reading the book: Do you believe in demons? What do you feel you have the right to? My review of The Screwtape Letters: I loved the conversation! I loved the philosophical implications! I love the fact that demons can lose the fight completely! **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, writer, and photographer currently living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.every...

  A short summary of Sisters of the Southern Cross: A nun takes on a man with a gun to save a Bundagugli mission. My favorite Jean Grainger quote from the book: "Surely the people could embrace the Christian message without having their culture annihilated at the same time." Questions to ponder while reading Sisters of the Southern Cross: Are you who you say you are? What is your vocation? My review of the book Sisters of the Southern Cross: Highly entertaining and so much fun to read! Sister Claire is a great character.

My favorite Weina Dai Randel quote from the book: "A courteous tiger is still a tiger." Questions to ponder while reading the book: What sacrifices have you made for your family? Where have you failed? My thoughts about the book: A great story from a seldom mentioned corner of WWII Full of twists, turns, and tumbles. WWII was such a terrible time.
