| I just read a book on www.athenaminerva.com, it was the most interesting book I have read in a very long time. Its about this girl born with a caul over her face, she had psychic abilities that she did not know how to control, that caused the death of several people - she actually killed one man and was convicted of murder, she made the warden fall in love with her and get her out of prison, it is a true story. I could not believe some of the things that happened to her. I AM NOT DOING IT JUSTICE HERE - YOU HAVE TO READ IT. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO READ IT SO THAT WE COULD DISCUSS IT. |

Sounds like Orson Scott Cards character Alvin Maker. Born with a Caul and special powers...I have not read the series, but did read a short story, but this sounds like it.
Mr. P. I'm not saying it's usual for people to do those things but I(with the permission of God) have raised a dog from the dead and healed many people from all sorts of ailments. - Asana Boditharta (former booktalk troll)
The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.
What is all this shit about Angels? Have you heard this? 3 out of 4 people believe in Angels. Are you F****** STUPID? Has everybody lost their mind? - George Carlin

| Wow after listening to you brianiac's (I mean that as a compliment) views and discussions on whether God exists, my comments are going to probably sound insignificant. I read a book: Emergence Angel or Demon on a web site - www.athenaminerva.com. It is a true story of a woman who was born with a caul and because of all the strange things that kept happening, with her, at the center of it all, she slowly became aware that she was not a "normal" person. How her belief in god or gods interred into some of the things she did or didn't do. The book is not the best written book in the world, but it was the story that kept me going. It made me rethink what I felt about god all my life. My best friend knows the woman who wrote it and, yes, I am helping promote it, but only because it was extremely interesting. |
