Oh--commas! Where do you put the blasted things? The world would be better off if we had less of them and could just concentrate on more important things like how to spell such words as superkalafragilisticexpalidoshious--did I spell that correctly?

As my friends at Amazon Books will attest(comma) I am not the best when it comes to punctuation. I'm becoming confident, however, in my abilites to put such things as commas in their place. My confidence didn't come from a school teacher. How many teachers do you know that tell you what the name, pro-noun, means? I did not honestly know that (pro) meant for the noun. Oh, I knew what pronouns were; I just didn't know where they were coming from.

I'll tell you something else (as long as my wife doesn't read this). I am an indefinite pronoun to her. In our house it's always, "Somebody didn't hang up their towel." Or, "I could sure use someones help with these dishes. Now I have a new name, it's called: Indefinite Pronoun. "SOMEBODY GET THE PHONE!" "Yes dear."

My apologies to my wife, she really is an angel.

So, why did I give this book a five-star rating? I think it was because of what is written at the top of page 29. If you have problems with punctuation like I do, or you realize your new name is, Indefinite Pronoun. You need a book like this one so at least you can say, "Hey, somebody left thier pantyhose hanging on the shower rod again."

Webster does not just criticize, but suggests return to traditional Christian response to anti-Christian culture, God's Word and worship.

Benet wrote this a while back, but it's worth reading, particularly in view of some of the shenangians going on in the Monica affair. Stone sold his soul and lived a long and fruitful life, the devil not bothering him at all due to the promised eventual payoff.

Came time for the payoff, Jabez Stone hired the F. Lee Bailey of the time, silver toungued orator Daniel Webster. The jury was picked by the Devil, no voir dire there. And Webster started his talk. It's good reading today if you can find it.

I have searched hard for a Complete Works of Benet, prose and poetry. His ouevre is not so great that it should be difficult to do. There are many other good stories in there, Johnny Pye and the Fool Killer, By the Waters of Babylon, and poems, too, John Brown's Body of course, but How Hillbilly Jim Won The Georgia Fiddler's Contest, too, and a host of others. Benet is not an author to shove away on the back shelves and forget. He deserves to be read.
