I will have to snag it the next time it comes into the shop. I am currently reading Phyllis McGinley's "Sixpence in Her Shoe".

A really delightful book. And it shows that the more things change the more they stay the same.

I am familiar with Phyllis McGinley, “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” but that’s the only one my library has.

I just bought two books by Joachim Jeremias, a mid-century Bible scholar, off Alibris.com. My pastor has been waving “Parables of Jesus” around for the last several weeks. He’s a big reader.

I wish I knew Greek better, though.
