A Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
Rain thunders down here on the coast interspersed by periods of
lovely sunshine and mild temperatures. Paperwhites (narcissus) clumps
bloomed in my garden winter. What a picture it was, to bask in the joy of
the Christmas lights on my roofline, and see the paperwhites waving with
the breeze just below! And now many of the remaining 500 bulbs and the
wild rhododendrons are finished and the colorful summer wildflowers are
in bloom.
I pray the choices you make for your library bring life-giving rain to
the lives of your readers, sunshine to brighten their days, and joy to lighten
their hearts.
In this issue you will find many titles which will broaden the scope of
your collection. I especially recommend Imperial Legions, wonderful
historical fiction by our own editor Andrew Seddon. Andrew, born in
England, returns there as he is able, this last time to continue his studies and
to research English history for the writing of this book. Thinking of
moving back, he kept track of the weather, and finding rain on each of his
days there, he determined, at least for now, to remain in sunny Montana.
We salute his choice, as we would miss him.
Another title, Come What May, by our own reviewer Betty Hockett,
inspired me greatly in reading of the lives and choices of a young American
farm family determined to show young Hondurans a way to improve their
lives and to bring them to Christ. Betty and her husband Gene returned to
Honduras this winter to visit the work, now in its third generation.
In Christ’s love,
