I think reading is an avenue to receive knowledge and information and divine wisdom also. Justin Allen wrote a book, " Confessions Of A Young Prophet" and it was a book I would pick up and read, then sit it down and read it throughout the year. It was about a year ago I purchased that book at a Nashville conference I attended then. He signed the book for me and also wrote a scripture verse in the book for me. It was an excellent book, and I thought, I just thought this book was going to be free of typo errors and technically it was ... except near the end I saw not typo errors but a spacing error on the same page (page 139). You know, when they must have hit the enter bar more than once before the next word. I am happy to report that this publishing company obviously takes greater care in publishing books as opposed to some of the other publishers out there that do not quite step up to the plate when it comes to proofreading and editing skills. That is in my opinion I state that because I am the consumer that buys the books and reads them and somehow come across these mistakes. I think another layer of my calling/gifting just may be to proofread books. What do you think?
One book is quite lengthy because it is a friend that wrote his memoirs and the other is a beautiful book by Melania Trump. They sure do have their act together because I think the release date was maybe 10/8/2024 for "Melania" and I pre- ordered it and received it in the mail yesterday 10/7/2024. I did pick up my friends book the other day and looked through it and it appears to be a chronological play by play type of memoir. Melania's book has a great deal of wonderful pictures she shares in the middle of the book. I did look at the pictures last evening and discovered possibly I was in the former Yugoslavia in the tamburitza folk group when she still lived as a child in Slovenia. What are the odds of that sort of nationality connection way back when I was in high school? There are pictures of their family maybe on a vacation in the Adriatic Coastal region and my one grandfather lived in the Split region on the Adriatic Coastal area and then emigrated to the USA, oh, the legal entryway may I add. No phony, bogus staying in hotels paid for by the government or exorbitant dollar amounts placed on cards for him to spend along with a great deal of food stamp dollar wise assistance. Nope, it was called working hard to achieve the American dream along with Grandpa's endearing broken English accent when he spoke. I know my mother would have thoroughly enjoyed this book; I just know it. I have not read the content yet but did read bits and pieces of it. Oh, I wonder if Wojtila's Bakery in Euclid, Ohio is getting a copy of this book since they are a Slovenian bakery our family used to patronize when we lived in the region. I actually ordered and bought a poppyseed and walnut potica and served it along with other pastries at our mother's celebration of life luncheon. There are family members that kept up the baking heritage of making potica and strudel, but I just did not have the desire to make it myself. I guess my baking skills went in another direction. Mainly back when in Ohio I was the one asked to make cheesecakes for family gatherings because I did not make standard type of cheesecakes but creative type of cheesecakes. Back then and I still have the Philadelphi Cream Cheese cheesecake cookbook in which these recipes came from. Hum, I wonder if it is time to bake a cheesecake.
