    Gray Mountain was good. Exposed what corporations did to poor people. Grisham like many other all the time is now Libtard for telling the truth. Im reading her book now. Took months to get it from Library. One of the few real conservatives with character and courage to defy the idiotweeter. By all means do not read it. Its all fake news, lies and slander. She was always a rino like dad. lmao.

    I am currently reading an old Tom Clancy novel. The title is "The Teeth of the Tiger". The book was published in 2003, twenty years ago. The plot of the novel is how 16 terrorist came into the United States across the Southern Border. They were brought across the border by the Mexican Cartels, supplied with guns and ammunition and other assistance. They split into 4 groups of 4 and their mission was to go to Malls in smaller cities and kill as many Americans as possible. A subplot is how an fictional (?) organization known as "The Campus" was able to gather information from both the CIA and NSA and discovered what the groups were planning, although too late to actually stop them. Clancy speaks of the president then in office who was a weak and ineffective leader who would do nothing to actually address the threat of terror groups entering the United States and one would swear he knew joe biden would one day sit in the White House.

    I haven't finished the book as yet but what fascinated me was the knowledge that groups of terrorist could make their way into the US with the help of the Cartel. Given the state of the border today (and now the Canadian border is becoming an issue as well) the scenario he created in this novel is certainly plausible. How many of the "Got Aways" are possible terrorist. How much assistance is the Cartels giving them in arms and passage into the country? joe biden, like the president in this novel, is doing nothing to protect us. How long before we have our own October 7 incident. Its not a question of if but when.

    Anyway, like most Clancy novels the book is worth reading and one of the closest to our environment today.
    Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.”

    Michael Reeves's Theologians You Should Know: An Introduction: From the Apostolic Fathers to the 21st Century. I was looking for an overview of the major theologians and this book provided just that. It covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Owen, Jonathan Edwards, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Karl Barth, and J. I. Packer. Each chapter includes sections on biography, thought, and further reading.
