My Book Review of "Billy Graham in Quotes"

"Billy Graham in Quotes" by Franklin Graham

This wonderful book provides quotes by Billy Graham on about 150 topics. It is admirably organized A to Z by subject, so if you need some guidance from the great preacher, Billy Graham, you will easily find helpful quotes here. Are you concerned about anger, sin, work, heaven, angels, grief, forgiveness, marriage, loneliness, etc.? Each of these topics is covered with many quotes by Graham.

Graham’s words are balm to my soul. An example in “Billy Graham on the World” is “Our chaotic, confused world has no greater need than to hear the Gospel truth.”

In the section “Billy Graham on Resurrection” is the quote “Never forget that the resurrection of Christ is in many ways the central event of all history.”

I collect quotes and admire Billy Graham and highly recommend this book for every Christian or seeker needing advice from this great and Godly man.

The new program at booksneeze.com sent me this book to review, and check out their website if you are interested in reviewing books for them on your own blog.

Roses: Bare root beauty from Billy Graham tea rose to Barbara Streisand tree rose

Lots of us love to grow roses, and for gardeners in my climate zone of 9, in California, now is a fine time to buy bare root roses. Here are the first paragraphs of my January garden column at Positivelyfeminine.org, shared here for your enjoyment.
Bare Root Roses
The Reverend Samuel Reynolds Hole wrote truly, “He who must have beautiful roses in his garden, must have beautiful roses in his heart.” Born in 1819 this much loved preacher went on to preach in 500 churches, was the friend of Dickens and Thackeray, and was called “the rose king” by Lord Tennyson.

We hope to have beautiful roses in our hearts and in our gardens, and the colder months are the ideal time to buy and plant bare root roses. Bare root roses are less expensive and offer an almost unlimited palette of colors and types to grace your garden.

My favorite rose source is a small family owned nursery called Roses of Yesterday. http://www.rosesofyesterday.com/ 831 728-1901. Other outstanding nurseries are Jackson and Perkins, http://www.jacksonandperkins.com/ toll-free 1 877 322-2300, and Edmunds’ Roses http://www.edmundsroses.com/ 1 888 481-7673. Heirloom Roses sells many rare roses including the Buck Hardy Rose Bushes. Dr. Buck is described as an artist of plant breeding. http://www.heirloomroses.com/ 503 538-1576. These websites offer excellent information on how to select, plant and nurture your roses.
