...I love it when people send me books. I actually take the time to read them!! Maybe out of obligation to the giver, but no matter the motivation, I sit down and read, and I like that.
She sent me, The Gospel of Ruth. It's fantastic...so far. I'm learning a lot and there are some great statements in there that have already hit me square between the eyes. It strikes me that the first "evangelist" was a woman...Anna. And that the first to tell us of the risen Christ are women. I hadn't really processed that as being important, but in THAT day and age, it really was. Anyway, if anyone ever reads my blog (which I seriously doubt, which is why it's so...truthful...wrong word, right thought) I'd highly recommend it. Male or female, it's a great book and there is something to be learned. And it doesn't require sitting and thinking for TOO many hours, which is good, too. :)
Just thought I'd put that out there...and, THANKS, SUSIE!! If you're out there! :)

I haven't heard of that one, but I'll have to check it out. Who's the author? I remember learning about the significance of women being the first to see and proclaim the risen Christ ... pretty powerful stuff :)
