![]() That is of course to degrade the glory of the incorruptible Deity and, in an effort to make all things divine, banish all divinity from the world entirely. Nature and God are one, so that whoever touches a leaf or a stone touches God. It is that God is the sum of all created things. Pantheism's error is too palpable to deceive anyone. I would guess thereason for this to be the fear of being charged with pantheism but the doctrine of the divine Presence is definitely not pantheism. Christian teachers shy away from its full implications, and, if they mention it at all, mute it down till it has little meaning. That is, it appears in the books, but for some reason it has not sunk into the average Christian's heart so as to become a part of his believing self. This is boldly taught by prophet and apostle and is accepted by Christian theology generally. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() God dwells in His creation and is everywhere indivisibly present in all His works. In all Christian teaching certain basic truths are found, hidden at times, and rather assumed than asserted, but necessary to all truth as the primary colors are found in and necessary to the finished painting. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?-Psa. ![]()

For Magri, truth meant taking his own life. They tried to talk him out of it, but Magri was unmoved. A bankers' clique governed the country, with the staunch backing of an octogenarian, ex-communist president, the left intelligentsia had collapsed – so what was the point of living? Most of his friends were unconvinced, even angry. Italian communism and those on its left had committed political suicide. ![]() The loss of his wife was the trigger, but there were other reasons. With The Tailor of Ulm completed and published, he decided to say farewell to life. His wife had died after a long illness two years earlier, and had discouraged Magri from following suit, insisting that he finish his book on the fate of Italian communism. Parliament observed a minute's silence, newspaper comment was broadly sympathetic, but his closest friends were unhappy. ![]() For a few days most of Italy was in shock.

Her writing style is still quite effective and can create a strong sense of unease, even for the most jaded modern reader. Holt’s books may be true the era of time in which she sets her stories, the women of the day having little opportunity and often at the mercy of men, but her heroines are rarely ‘too stupid to live’, or present themselves as the proverbial ‘damsel in distress’. They are often a representation of a simpler time, in the days when the suspense was more reliant on atmosphere and dialogue, and the romance was about as chaste as it comes. So, it’s fun to pull one of these off the shelf and lose myself in a different time, despite the datedness of some of these stories. ![]() Victoria Holt’s name is nearly synonymous with this genre and she was quite prolific.Īs such, I’m still hunting down some of her harder to find books and haven’t come close to reading all of her novels. ![]() The Mistress of Mellyn by Victoria Holt is a 1960 publication.Įveryone knows I am a huge fan of these old Gothic suspense novels and love to collect the old paperbacks.Those covers are just fantastic!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Pretties was okay, but it seemed to unravel a bit and loose ends were left hanging. ![]() I was a little worried after finishing Pretties. Either way, Tally's world will never be the same. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programmed to complete. Still, it's easy to tune that out-until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more. ![]() The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. But Tally's never been ordinary.Īnd now she's been turned into one of them: a super-amped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor-frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast.
