Lewis: <>I am reminded of Chesterton’s definition of insanity: “The clean, well-lit room of one idea.” Our modern room is well lit by the bare bulb of science. But of what lies beyond, we see nothing.<>
There’s an excellent book called “Wicca’s Charm”, written by a very brilliant friend of mine. She received a very generous fellowship grant, and took a full year to travel and meet with pagans, wiccans, etc.
The book is an amazing look at why people choose these spiritualities.
Available on Amazon for only $6!
Kindle edition $4.99.
A fascinating read!
This is an excellent book and you can get it on Audible too. I actually listened to it doing my morning 5-10 k walk. Very well narrated (one of those rich English voices, very intelligible). I loved the book because not only was it a sort of overview of the Psalms, but it told you a lot about what reading the Psalms meant to the author. The last chapter - or maybe it’s an afterword - is very touching and impressive. It deals with the psalms in his life and the death of his father.
I even repeated my walk (which is my solitary time) so I could finish it out in one hearing. Lots of kilometers that morning!
Psalms book....
Thanks very much.
Father Kino’s name was really Chino, but because in Spanish that means “Chinese” (and the “ch” is pronounced differently than in Italian), he used the Kino spelling in the Spanish-speaking world. “Quino” would have worked too, I suppose.
I did not know, he was “Chino”. Makes sense for an Italian and to change it to endear himself with the people.

CondoleezzaProtege's been posting the chapters of this series by Cheryl Lowe from Memoria Press: I haven't added these to the GGG catalog, but am pinging both regular and digest lists, as these may be of interest to all.
Appreciate the ping SunkenCiv. Thanks!
My pleasure. I've been waiting for the series to conclude so it would work best. :^)
