The correction is made to the authors name, thank you. That was a post by the way!
 In reading The Fire and the Staff  I find it helpful that Pr. Preus repeats his point in many different ways. I have learned that I had the wrong concept of what doctrine actually referred to. The following passage was interesting to me for some strange reason: "No form of church work is more thankless and boring than serving on a congregational constitution committee."
I did finish the book  A Thousand Splendid Suns today, it was an excellent book. I pity the Islamic life many women are forced to live.
Three new books have been checked out today! The first one I chose to read (listen to) is Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy.
Peace be with you!
