Salvation is what we receive; not achieve.
Dinosaurs in the Attic: An Excursion into the American Museum of Natural History by Douglas Preston.
From Library Journal:
"New York's American Museum of Natural History, one of the outstanding science museums in the world, contains an extraordinary collection of objects: dinosaur skeletons, human mummies, tiny beetles, birds of paradise, and massive totem poles. Only a tiny fraction of the millions of catalogued specimens is on public view, and Douglas, with a series of judicious choices, takes us on a tour of the great labyrinth of storerooms and vaults that houses the bulk of the collection. Of equal interest are the people who built up and continue to maintain this extraordinary collection. This is a delightful book filled with fascinating stories, anecdotes, and personalities. Highly recommended."

Mansfield Park
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
It really is. I have read all of Preston's fiction and enjoyed it but I expected this to be dry. To the contrary it is quite interesting, some of the appeal may be my love of museums.
Douglas Preston's brother is Richard Preston, also an author. His works are mostly non-fiction. He wrote The Hot Zone and The Wild Trees, both of which I would recommend.

Unholy Alliance by David Horowitz. Should be read especially by Democrats since it deals with how the radical left pays right into the hands of the Islamofacists. Horowitz was once a leader of the radical left so he has knowledge and experience whereof he speaks.
