Words

, , 4 comments

How often is it that you come across a book that deeply, and very strongly, touches you? When you feel like falling to your knees in wet grass and crying out to God, tears streaming down your face, thanking Him for the power of words, of language? When you feel outrageous pity for the people who do not give themselves this gift of experiencing something so powerful, yet delivered simply through words? God bless language. God bless words. God bless the people who have the power to write, and God bless those who can do a brilliant job of it.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Did you have a particular book in mind when you wrote this?

RS,
You're right.. they are so powerful!

Tony,
Actually, yes.. it's called 'The Book Thief'. I think it's one of the loveliest books ever written, for its beautiful language.
