pickBloody brilliant, magic, whimsical. He has a powerful and unique voice, will definitely reread because it has so much content and subtle beauty, existential questions and more. Anyone else read this? Would love to hear your thoughts #martyr #kavehakbar #brilliantbook

pickNot my normal type of book but I read this for #Guatemala for #ReadingTheAmericas2023 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
Despite this I did enjoy this book that told the story of Father Stanley Rother who was murdered in Guatemala in 1981, having been in Guatemala since 1968. In 2017 he was made into a Saint. A remarkable man, who was warned, and given option to leave, on the day he was murdered but refused to.
Visited Ephrata Cloister in Lancaster Pennsylvania, part of the PA Trails of History program. And there was an amazing book! In 1745, Jacob Gottschalk(1st Mennonite Bishop in America)arranged with the Ephrata Cloister to have them translate the book from its original Dutch into German and print it. It took 15 men three years to finish and in 1749, at 1512 pages, it was the largest single volume printed in America before the Revolutionary War.
panHere‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.
