@seekjustice Sounds great! I’ll have to see if I can get the chance to read it.
I haven’t read any of Amy Carmichael’s books in a while, but I absolutely loved Mimosa!
Well, I think if I read it now I might have a different impression than I had when I was younger. 😉
Haha! 😀 I? Old fashioned? Why on earth would you say that? 😛 But yea…[Read more]

It is good! Especially if you want to learn more about Australia.
No, I haven’t read any of her books, but I have Elisabeth Elliot’s book about her and I’ve read a bit of her poetry.
I thought you might say something like that. I’m very much against modern feminism but I never found Betty to be particularly feminist, though she…[Read more]

@seekjustice I haven’t been doing a whole lot of reading lately, and haven’t read many of the newest ones we have gotten, but I do believe I’ve seen that one among the collection. You say it’s good?
Ah, that’s sort of how I feel about Amy Carmichael. Have you read any of her books?
It has been forever since I read it, and my eleven-year-old p…[Read more]

Have you got the one on John Flynn? I read that one only recently, though I’ve got other biographies on him.
I have the Elisabeth Elliot book, but I much prefer reading her books, so I never bought Jim Elliot.
Why did you dislike Betty? I like Mary Slessor too. I haven’t read Lilian Trasher, but she sounds interesting. I remember…[Read more]

@seekjustice We get the two or three new ones each year, keeping our collection up to date. However, I believe there were a couple we deliberately didn’t buy because we already had multiple biographies of the person.
Yes, I’ve read those. 🙂 Actually, I think Betty Green was my least favorite of the women biographies. 😛 A few of the ones I li…[Read more]

I think I might have had them all at one time, but I haven’t bought any new ones in a while and they’ve published quite a few more.
How can I choose just one though? Probably my favourite is “Betty Greene” but I also love “Nate Saint” and “Rachel Saint” and “Jacob Deshazer”. I assume you’ve read those ones?

@seekjustice So do we. I think we have almost the entire collection, actually. That and Henty’s books form the largest sets of books in our library. Which YWAM book is your favorite?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
I have a rather large collection of them 😛

@seekjustice Nice. Those books are great.
@valtmy I did grant you access to the document, but I don’t see you there. I hope you got it. 😉

@rochellaine Chicken wire doesn’t sound like something that would keep them in. We’ll see if they ever do. 😉
@seekjustice @valtmy Good night! I got a small bit done, but it is done so that’s good.

@catwing Hope for the best. 😛 Our sheep never cared for the electric fence, but knocked it down quite often. Our pygmy goat babies lived inside a six foot tall chicken wire fence, but escaped probably twice a day. (so did the mamas.)
In other words, Good luck! 😉
@seekjustice Cool. Is it by YWAM?

@valtmy Ok, I found something! 😀
It’s something I’ve been planning to polish up for a while, but keep putting aside.
So, several years ago I wrote a serial story for a “newspaper” my family did just among ourselves (we read the two pages or so every evening together) and I really like the ideas and everything, in fact, it kept my family…[Read more]

I’m actually reading a book on Lottie Moon at the moment, so I’m not doing nothing anymore!

@rochellaine This is the first time. 😀 Night number two. No attempted escapes. ;P (Only just now from you… They have and closed off barn thing, inside of a fenced off area, inside of an electric fence. And they wanted to sleep. 😉 )
Indeed. *grins*
So far so fun. XP
@valtmy Noon aka midnight. ;D

@catwing Have you ever had goats before? Do your goats like to escape their pen?(Have you heard the saying, “if you can throw water through it, a goat can get through it?”)
I imagine it would be helpful. 😛
Ah, I see. I hope it goes smoothly.
@valtmy How long do you have? Do you want something to read to alleviate your boredom? (No pr…[Read more]

@rochellaine I had to go help with goats and then came back. Then I had to wash dishes and now I’m back. I think right now its just life. But being cheshire is helpful for that. ;P
I’m also changing one of POVs to first person from third. Fun. 😛 -

@valtmy Ah, I messed up your tag and you still saw the post! 😀 Hello again. Working on anything in particular?

@seekjustice Hey, I’m back! Are you still doing nothing? 😉
@catwing Is it because you are a cheshire catwing that you keep disappearing and appearing? 😛
@valtny Are you still here?
