Spiritually Anchored in Unsettled Times is a gem of a little book from Elder Bruce C. Hafen. It reads as if it might be a collection of essays or talks with related themes that have been re-worked to fit together and flow better. Either way, it is worth exploring and pondering thoughtfully upon, and for me, it explains some of the questions I have had. Some favorite takeaway quotes and thoughts include the following: 1. “Feelings are especially important when they come as an actual confirmation of other evidence of truth. That confirmation is essential to our spiritual guidance. But in addition to our feelings, a well-grounded testimony also includes other important elements, such as experience and reason. Feeling by itself has a thin root system that is too shallow to support a fully developed testimony…” These three elements of testimony may be thoughts of as the points of a triangle, a very stable structure. The scriptures emphasize the importance of all three aspects of testimony. See for example John 7:17 (experience); Isaiah 1:18, D&C 8:2, and D&C 9:7-8 (reason) and D&C 9:8-9 and D&C 8:2 (feelings). 2. “Those who are well-intentioned, but stuck in mere activity wonder why the joy of the journey has waned, perhaps without realizing that they have stopped growing spiritually. When the growth stops, so does the joy…Whatever the reason for our lost momentum, it isn’t enough to just go through the motions – we must be in motion.” 3. “We talk often in the church about coming to Christ. Perhaps we should talk more about how Christ also comes to us…We never have more value in the Lord’s sight than when we are feeling worthless…” 4. “[President Hinckley] said that prosperity often leads to indulgence, and indulgence leads to sin. Said another way, indulgence is the bridge that leads us from prosperity to sin.” 5. “When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.” (President Ezra Taft Benson) 6. “The Lord’s ‘friends’ thus feel His increased confidence in them – enough confidence that He is now willing to tutor them in the most personal ways. But they also discover that His tutorial asks more of them, not less. It is both possible and likely that the closer we come to Christ, the more we will be aware of what we yet need to do. ‘If men come unto me I will show unto them their weaknesses…’ (Ether 12:27). So if we are becoming more aware of our weaknesses, that doesn’t mean we are drifting away from Him; it may well mean that we are drawing closer.” 7. “Whether we are conscious of it or not, we inevitably teach what we are. This pattern [like Alma; Mosiah 23:14] – being a true disciple in order to help others become true disciples – applies not just to missionaries; it is the most basic purpose behind every calling in every Church organization.” 8. “Our desires determine our direction.” 9. Three consequences of unclean thoughts or acts: “He that looketh on a woman to lust after her…(1) shall not have the Spirit; (2) shall deny the faith; and (3) shall fear (D&C 63:16). “Not having the Spirit and denying the faith are exactly the opposite of developing a spiritually grounded testimony. So, lust blocks out testimony.” Three effects of letting “virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly” that are exactly the mirror opposite o the effects of lust include (D&C 121:45-46): (1) “thy confidence [shall] wax strong in the presence of God (the opposite of fear); (2) “the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven” (the opposite of denying the faith); and (3) “the Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion” (the opposite of not having the Spirit.” 10. “Our encounters with reality and disappointment are actually vital stages in the development of our maturity and understanding.” Thus, acceptance of uncertainty (what Elder Hafen calls “level-two awareness”) is an essential part of our spiritual growth, but sometimes (as with many academics) we become too comfortable with it. “One’s acceptance of the clouds of uncertainty may become so complete that the iron rod seems to fade into the blurring mists of darkness, and skepticism becomes a guiding philosophy.” 11. The progression in awareness that Elder Hafen describes seems to me to be similar in some respects to the progress that Robert Quinn describes as coming out “on the other side of complexity.”

Lots goes on in small towns and people even though they move away are connected at some time and in some way. It was a very interesting human nature story written in a very different way.

This was the oddest book - it lacked any sequencing of events or follow through. I can't say I didn't enjoy it, more so that I didn't understand it.

Despite the media hubub, I hadn't paid much attention to the revamped Batwoman, but I picked it up as part of my Borders horde to see what a modern title-character lesbian superhero would look like. I was at least partially convinced by the cute introduction by Rachel Maddow. The character is approached respectfully, but honestly and addresses her childhood trauma and unfortunate expulsion from the military. The relationship between her and her veteran father seems particularly true. The Kate Kane voice is consistent and strong throughout. Part of the reason I didn't score higher is that the underlying adventure was underwhelming without much mystery to it. By the end there was a sense of "is that really it?" At lest part of the reason for this could be the desire to focus much more on the character's backstory -- there are certainly more adventures to come. The real star in Batwoman: Elegy is the art, which is just phenomenal.

This is another that I remember reading but can only remember few details from. I remember the name Durst and a few other minor details. It's a definite worth-while read for a true crime reader but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

Patrick Carman’s Dark Eden sneaks up on you, like one of your friends trying to scare you in the middle of the night. It’s scary at first, but then you appreciate the cleverness of the scare. This novel was unpredictable and reviving. Horror is explored in a new way. It’s the quite type of horror, one that brings chills down your spine will bitting your fingernails. One that could come to life in your dreams. One you will think about for weeks late at night. Patrick explores multiple fears; all his readers will relate to. He chose his characters wisely and built them in an interesting way. Even though there is the smallest hint of a love story, it’s sweet and refreshing. Just what the novel needed. The list of questions only grows as you read this breathtaking novel, but the ending is worth the wait. The ending is unexpected and full of surprises. The readers think that they know where the story’s going, but then Patrick takes the storyline to a whole new level. A level full “ooh’s, ahh’s and O.M.G’s” What did you think of this novel? Have you read more of Patrick Carman’s books? Hebah Abdelqader

Husband and wife travel the country solving mysteries. It just so happens the husband is a super hero that can stretch himself into all kinds of weird shapes and lengths, just to keep this from getting mixed up with all the other husband/wife PI stories. Great mix of goofy super powers, a fun married couple and a ton of mysteries, some lame, some pretty clever. Shame how badly DC has treated these characters. Are there any married couples left in modern comics?

I discovered that I'd read this book after reading a quote in the front of another book. I remember reading about old Eguchi. I can vividly recall the way he took note of the room and the woman. But I have no recollection of the title, the author, or indeed of reading this book. And yet I have read it, and can retell the story. Poetic and explorative. I remember feeling nervous as he entered the room, and as if I were an intruder as he studied the sleeping woman. I now want to read it again.
