More From Lucy Maud Montgomery

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
This book was not written because i wanted to offer a supreme model to the man who struggles; i wanted to show him that he must not fear pain, temptation or death - because all three can be conquered, all three have already been conquered. christ suffered pain, and since then pain has been sanctified. temptation fought until the very last moment to lead him astray, and temptation was defeated. christ died on the cross, and at that instant death was vanquished forever.
Pain Fear Book
A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. this is an obvious lie. only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... a man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. that is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

Time management tips: the perpetual processing of the same temptation is both dangerous and time-wasting. cycling and recycling the same temptation (instead of rejecting such blandishment out of hand) is not only to risk one's soul, again and again, but is to bring on fatigue, so that the adversary may be able to do indirectly what we will not let him do directly. a lack of decisiveness in dealing with temptation ties up our thought processes and prevents us from doing good with the time allotted to us.
