With this mini photo gallery let me take you back to February when Ash, Megan, Sonia , Abner and I invaded the old city market on a cheap shopping spree - specially for the Canadians. They loved it an d bought loads of gifts - good quality but at lower prices than the posh shops would have demanded.
Ash and Megan bought lots of wood carvings etc. while I snooped around with my camera.

A few days ago I received a complimentary
copy of the book,
' The Book that made your world '
by my author friend Vishal Mangalwadi.
Vishal belongs to my city but now lives
in the US.
He is a Christian apologist, author, international speaker and has been called
India 's leading Christian intellectual.
I have started reading his book and I tell you
its a page turner although its heavy reading.
Whether you are an avid student of the bible or a skeptic of its relevance this book will transform your perception of its influence on virtually every facet of the Western civilization.
Through Vishal' s fascinating and wide ranging
investigation you will discover
-What triggered the West 's passion for
scientific, medical and technological
advancement.
- How the biblical notion of
human dignity transforms the West 's social
structure and how it intersects
with other world views.
- How the Bible created a fertile ground
for women to find social and
economic empowerment.
- How the Bible has uniquely equipped the West
to cultivate compassion, human rights,
prosperity and strong families.
- The role of the Bible in the
transformation of education.
- How the modern literary notion
of a hero has been shaped
by the Bible 's archetypal protagonist.
I invite you to journey with Vishal
as he examines the origins of
civilization 's greatness and the
misguided beliefs that threaten to
unravel its progress.
His treatise is very much like
Francis Schaeffer 's
'How Shall we Then Live '
Both books are mind shaking and
soul stirring.
You can get more information
on Vishal 's website
I shall be sharing quotes from
the book .
What really struck me was that
Vishal has dedicated this book to
Arun Shourie, Indian intellectual,
Member of Parliament,
former minister of the Govt. of India and reputed
journalist who has criticized and ridiculed
the Bible and Christian missionaries.

This morning we had a light shower
which brought the temp down a bit.
My wounds are a bit better.
Thank you for your prayers everyone.
