"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointedme to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me tobind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedomfor the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaimthe year of the LORD's favorand the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~fromISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog
APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it
On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on7/19/17as I'm still learning.
I was thinking that I would just announce this particular book by Max Lucado and then share more of the book that I started back here, but I will save that special moment of CALM for another time & day, as I continue enjoying this treasure gift book page by page and paced to slowly absorb my time with this real book (in other words, I'm not very far into the 10 Chapters but I also haven't skipped ahead). Meanwhile, in case you are not aware - Max Lucado's website has been featuring that ... CALM book since May 1st (I think), which was "Name the Problem" (you can either listen, or read, or both) and the most recent (May 24, 2024) "Two Sides of the Aisle" ... very brief encounters yet very enjoyable!
So, I guess this blog post is/was just a reminder
to me that today's the big day for his revised & updated book
NEW RELEASE of THIS BOOK
which is more of an
EXPERIENCE
Here's a glimmer of some of the pages from this new book:
