So, I was just reading a “What to Read” list. The writer suggested many good books, and wrote a little blurb about each one. The problem is that she summarizes the books rather than giving a teaser that would make me more interested in the book. Here is an example: (I won’t name the book, so I don’t ruin it for you. 
)
“Originally published in two parts, the first half introduces John, Mildred, and Ben; in the second part, Ben dies and John marries.”
Thanks. Why even read the second book?

My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
Hi Rhonda .. you may as well read the second book. After all .. the Bible was written in two parts also. If someone wrote a blurb about the Bible, they could say something like..” written in two parts, the first part introduces the Lord God of the Universe, and His involvement with mankind. In the second part, the Lord God sends his only Son to redeem fallen mankind, is crucified and resurrected, then judges evil and reigns forevermore.”
Though we know (by revelation) what happens in the final endtimes scenario, we may as well read the entire second part of the Bible. After all .. there is plenty in the New Testament that is useful to us in the here and now.
I know this comment has nothing really to do with yuor post, but hey …
you’re not the only one allowed to “ramble”
