Hinds Feet On High Places
Reading and Revelations
My mom bought me this book to read right after I was diagnosed with cancer. Because I had several other books in my "stack", I did not get the chance to read it until I was about halfway through my chemotherapy. I'll have to chalk the timing up to Divine Intervention there, as I do not think I would have been ready to read it before then. Of course we all know that God's timing is perfect, right? Hinds Feet on High Places is an allegory that takes you on a personal journey with the ma...

In The Garden Of Beasts
My Review
William E. Dodd, United States Ambassador to Germany in the years between 1933 and 1937, repeatedly warns both German and American authorities about the widespread atmosphere of brutality, hate and corruption throughout Germany. His warnings are pushed aside, because it is easier to placate the tyrannical Adolph Hitler and tolerate his rise to power, than to remove him from public office. This is the typical "ostrich with the head in the sand" syndrome that is often used by some to evade unpl...
