Hultman, Lemoyne, PA United States. This review is from: The Village Carpenter: The Classic Memoir of the Life of a Victorian Craftsman. The Village Carpenter is a book that I wished would never end. The author writes about carpentry and working in his grandfather's shop in Victorian England, at a time when the carpenter was vital to the life of the village and whose duties encompassed a much broader range of skills and projects than what we think of as carpentry today. The village carpenter in the late 19th c. was responsible for building everything from windows & doors to coffins to fences & gates to furniture to buckets & washboards and more. He was a thread that tied the community together, often having to work on sight, gaining an intimate understanding of the villagers in whose homes he would work for weeks on end. Walter Rose eloquently recounts stories about the men who worked in the shop, their tools, their projects, and their interaction with the villagers. Here is an excerpt from his book: {As publisher of this book... Here are 2 examples we want you to Read... Re-Read... And Read it again} '"It is in the workshop and at the bench that an insight into the soul of wood craftsmanship can be truly gained. There are tools, there is the wood--rude planks, ungarnished, their surface scored with the saw. Between them, and without which each is useless, must come the soul and spirit of the designer and craftsman; the deft hands prompted by an alert mind; the knowledge attained only through years of study and service; the creative instinct and ability that will, by the correct use of the tools, transform the mere plank into a thing of usefulness and beauty--possibly a joy for ever."' {See how the words were crafted together... Just like a carpenter building a window or a washboard. Walter Rose started out just like YOU. The review continues...} The entire book is filled with memorable passages and woodworking wisdom that has since been forgotten but is still relevant. He reflects on the personality of wood and the connection between the carpenter and his tools--a connection so absolute, that the same tool in another woodworker's hands would not respond the same. It's a must-read for anyone who is passionate about woodworking or who would like to gain insight into the soul of a woodworker." We are honored to have '"The Village Carpenter: The Classic Memoir of the Life of a Victorian Craftsman by Walter Rose" listed with our over 250 books on Amazon. There is another author we want point out. John Steinbeck writes, "Alicia, I wish I could tell you about these pilots. They make me sick with envy. They ride their vehicles the way a man controls a fine, well-trained quarter horse. They weave along streambeds, rise like swallows to clear trees, they turn and twist and dip like swifts in the evening." {See too... How John Steinbeck writes the words and crafts them together... Just like a musician; as he puts it, playing their controls like music. John Steinbeck started out just like YOU.} I also started out just like you... Just like Walter Rose... Just like John Steinbeck... YOU can do it

Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here in the presence of God to join together, this Man And this Woman In Holy Marriage... We find that marriage is instituted of God; that it is regulated by His Commandments; that it is blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ; and that it is to be held in honor among all men. Let us therefore reverently remember that God has established and sanctified marriage for the welfare and happiness of mankind when He, Jesus said, ... Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 19:4-6 This marriage service leaves us looking out along a road that leads on to endless joy. There will be hardships along that road, and disappointments. To travel it will require strong disciplines and intelligently worked out ways. Much that is ahead is uncertain, but some things can be depended on as absolutely sure. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 This bride and groom can set forth with high hearts because they have faith in each other, which is founded on their faith in God. They can face the future full of hope because they know what will bring their marriage its daily comforts and ultimate success. Side by side they can start down across the years held to each other by a love whose source is the heart of God. Into this Holy Estate, this Man and this Woman... You come now to be joined and thus to unite two hearts and lives, blending all interests, sympathies and hopes. We recall the words of Ruth when she said, ...whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God Ruth 1:16 I charge you both, as you stand in the presence of God, to remember that true love and loyalty alone will avail as the foundation of a happy home. If the solemn vows you are about to make be kept inviolate, and if you steadfastly endeavor to do the will of your Heavenly Father, your lives will be full of joy, and the home you are about to establish will abide in peace. No more human ties are more tender, and no other vows are more sacred than those you are about to assume. Sir... Will you take: this Woman To be your wedded wife and to live together after God's Ordinance in The Holy Estate of Matrimony; will you love, honor, and cherish her in sickness and in health, and be true and loyal to her, as long as you both shall live? Mam... Will you take: this Man To be your wedded husband and to live together after God's Ordinance in The Holy Estate of Matrimony; will you love, honor and cherish him in sickness and in health, and be true and loyal to him, as long as you both shall live? In The name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. Let us pray... O Father, our hearts are filled with great happiness on this our wedding day. We come before you at the altar of love, pledging our lives and our hearts to one another. Grant that we may be ever true and loving, as living together in such a way as to never bring shame or heartbreak into our marriage. Temper our hearts with kindness and understanding and rid them of all pretense or jealousy. Help us to be sweetheart, helpmate, friend and guide, and together, may we meet the cares and problems of life more bravely. And as time takes away our youthful charm, may we find contentment in the greater joy of rich companionship. May our home truly be a place of love and harmony where your Holy Spirit is ever present. Bless our wedding day, we pray, and walk beside us, Father, through all our life together. In Thy Beloved Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Grabbing the hand-held radio and transmitting on Guard, Halvorson alerted the tower to their situation. "This is Dustoff 7-oh-7 on Guard, north of Quang Tri about 20 miles out. We have multiple wounded on board, no idea of their condition, no hydraulics, and no instruments. We need a straight in. Clear everything, I need to be first in line." It was about this time that Gary noticed one of the few instruments still working was the engine temperature gauge "And it was running pretty hot " OS PUBLISHING, PO Box 133, Lakeview, Ohio 43331 USA or see TheVillageCarpenter.info

It's New Years Day 2012. We went to prayer and talked to Father God about this year. We know there have been Souls come to salvation, deliverance and healing through our books, but we; as this book documents, are concerned that there are many Christians that just don't know how to write their own testimony and get it published into a book. So we prayed, "Father God, You have given us many Words of encouragement in the building of over 250 books. Thank You for the idea of publishing this book to help more Christians to publish their own testimony into a book to help others come to salvation. This will be our first book published this year 2012. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah." YOUR BOOK COULD BE NEXT

Did you know there are three Mary's listed in The Holy Bible? They are only mentioned in one verse... See if you can find it. Now, you can read only the verses that contain the word Mary. That's right. We have put the words about Mary and only the words about Mary in this book. Let us caution you: for the full meaning of all the words about Mary... You must use The Holy Scriptures... The Holy Bible. Also, may we suggest one thing? Before you begin, simply say a small prayer, something like this: "Dear God, help me to read Your Words, help me to understand Your Words, and help me to read all Your Words. In Jesus name, AMEN."
