![]() Church Signs Across America $14.95 This is an interesting book and a great "conversation piece". Everyone who has seen it has liked it and at least one friend has already bought one for a gift. It also was fun for each person to look up their state and the churches included for that state. ![]() Church Signs: 2010 Mini Day-to-Day Calendar $8.99 Plant yourself in church; God provides Miracle-Gro. When you flee temptation, don't leave a forwarding address.These quotes and many more are included in the Church Signs 2010 2010 Mini Day-to-Day Calendar. Many of these catchy phrases have been spotted on church billboards and bumper stickers from far and wide. Whether humorous, uplifting, or thought-provoking, these little sayings go a long way in adding goodwill to each day. ![]() The Little Book of Church Signs $5.99 I purchased 4 of these books. They were so humorous! I used them as thinking of you gifts. If someone was going through a rough time or I thought they needed to feel appreciated, I would give them one. Each person I gave them to really enjoyed them! ![]() Life is Short, Pray Hard: Forbidden Fruit II:: More Church Signs from Across America $7.99 This is one of those little "gift books' you often find on special racks in your favorite bookstore. Generally speaking, they are tiny and seemingly highly priced for their size;and generally in the 7$-$15 range. But then again, Greeting Cards are often in that range and these little gems are certainly a much better value for your buck.They make a good item to leave with or give to a friend, and carry a lot more thoughts than a card. I find the "Product Details an interesting feature with books here on Amazon;so checked them out for this one.Under Text Stats we see it has only 2314 words and a very low Fog Index.A search on the net will give you details on how Fog Index is calculated;but generally speaking.it is a simple numerical method to calculate the difficulty in comprehension of written material. This book comes in at 6.1 which is quite low. It is amazing how simple, astute ideas and truisms can be stated. That is the beauty of one-liners,proverbs,adages,axioms or however you choose to label them. What we get in this little "tome" is a collection of thoughts collected from roadside church signs across America.They seem to be the modern day replacements of the Burma Shave signs of the past. Here are a few of my favorites from the book. "Atheism is a non-prophet organization." "When you bury the hatchet,don't mark the grave." "God is dead.-Nietzsche....Nietzsche is dead.- God" "To make a mountain out of a molehill,just add dirt." "Men do not fail,they give up trying." "Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head." "You never have to explain something you haven't said." "You can't direct the wind,but you can adjust your sails." "Shadows fall behind you when you walk toward the light." "Swallowing angry words is easier than eating them." Some pretty powerful thoughts for such a tiny book ,and there's many more. |
