So, I've read the book ;)

[med_cat]

"Face Toward the Spring," by Faith Baldwin--I'd written about it here, back in July, wondering who was right--the reviewer who gave it one star, or the reviewer who gave it five ;)

Bought the book last autumn, finished reading it last week. As I suspected, the truth is somewhere in between--I can't say I cared all that much for the book--many of the stories had been written for, and published in, "The Christian Herald" magazine, which, of course, colors the book. So yes, it's a bit preachy. Besides, it's the author's first non-fiction book, so that is another reason I think it's not as good as "Evening Star". It had a few good passages; as you probably saw, I quoted one the other day, over here

Anyway, it was good enough to finish reading, and inexpensive, and it'll go to The Little Free Library ;)

As a side note, there was a passage in the book which made me grateful for the times having changed...

Yes, they are fun, I've often found interesting books there (and left books others must've found interesting, as they were gone the next time I stopped by). Besides, the library is in front of a very nice shop that sells local produce. I bought some apples and carrots today :)

We had one on our old street and I'd find such cool things, too ^-^

Apples and carrots YUM! Good for you! Such great things to eat and especially in winter :)

Aww, pity there isn't one nearby now, for you...maybe you could start one, or not practical?

Hehe yes, they were good too :)

Not practical :) Like 3 people would be able to walk to it *LoL*

I understand :) Pity, though...
