A nice little supplement

Sorry I did not include this in the comment I just left on Miles but I am a big dumb animal and forgot. By the way, do we get an email when someone leaves a comment on a new post or we only get emailed when there is a new post? The comments are great because it seems the origianl post is the question and the comments are the attempts at answers.

For anyone interested or if you have the time. I just finsihed reading a quick little book, it is small pages and less than two hundred pages long and an easy read, on the life and philosophy of Gandhi by Loius Fischer. It is a fantastic read if you really don't know alot about what Gandhi did, his ideas of religion, God, violence, politics, etc. It will also be a ncie read since we are reading Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You" soon and this is a book that Gandhi based alot of his ideas and practices on. You can pick the book up for cheap used on Amazon for like two bucks.

I was talking with someone the other day about it and I really enjoy reading about Gandhi as I consider him to be one of the more Christlike humans to walk the planet since Christ and no one took the sermon on the moun more seriously and more literaly than Gandhi. So in reading the details of his life and ideas, the way he change his mind, fails at some things, makes mistakes, etc., I am thinking about the life of Jesus which we don't know alot about. So since we do not know alot of the details about the life, practices and philosophy of the Messiah, I really enjoy learning all those things about one of His greatest Diciples.
