I am purchasing my second copy. I read the book in two hours, and immediately passed it on to my Grandfather. The author does a wonderful job explaining the stages of Alzheimers and offers effective suggestions on how to communicate with a family member or friend, - especially when they are struggling to communicate with you and others/medical professionals. Each section of the book helped me and my Grandfather accept the progression of Alzheimers and adjust our interactions and expectations accordingly. Great book - read it and pass it along to someone who you love. I reccomend this book for all Alzheimer's caregivers.

Elaine Lindgren has done an excellent job researching a little known subject. She gives not only a very fine introduction to the subject of homesteading, she provides a wonderful written documentary of the phenomenon of single women who homesteaded in North Dakota. This book is not only wonderfully written (it is actually a page turner), it also leaves the reader enthralled with a whole area of American history which had previously gone undocumented. I truly enjoyed this book and have given copies to friends who tell me they found it just as interesting

Elizabeth Achtemeier, a Presbyterian, a seminary professor, and an authority on preaching the Hebrew scriptures, says that if we have a problem with some passages from the Old Testament we should remember that it's our problem not the problem of the Bible.

Selecting some 31 readings, half of which come up in the Common Lectionary at some point, she looks at the passage in its context and then suggests ways it could be used as a sermon text.

Achtemeier says that the difficulties preachers have with preaching on the Old Testament may spring from not understanding the Old Testament or from not being willing to hear the message the passage brings to our own lives.

Using short chapters of six or eight pages, the author digs right into the text to clearly give the situation it addresses. The she discusses the message it carries for the ancient reader as well as the contemporary reader.

For example, in her treatment of Genesis 22:1-19, The Sacrifice of Isaac, she points out the intimate relationship the story describes between Abraham and his son, Isaac. Then she goes on to point out that this couple, Abraham, who is no paragon of faith, and is wife, Sarah, who is no model of faith, is nevertheless the slender thread upon which God hangs the promise that they shall be the parents of a great host of people - Israel. Some test is required to establish whether they can do what God wants them to do. Abraham passes the test with flying colors (Sarah is not heard from again until her death). Achtemeier goes on to say that we must not think that "God's test of our trust in him is behind every single affliction that we suffer. In the Scriptures, God tests his servants when his purpose is at stake." She points out that in Gethsemane Jesus passes a similar test and models unwavering faith and witness for persecuted Christians throughout the ages.

For me this was an inspiring read and was especially appropriate for devotional reading during Holy Week.
