Shall We Walk? by Pura Santillan-Castrence This essay was written during the Japanese Occupation but it is as relevant today as it was then. I wrote an article some years ago on the benefits of walking. My automobiled friends praised the article politely enough‚ they liked it (at least they said so); the points were well taken; people should really walk more; it took someone like me to show in such graphic terms what could have been clear to everyone before… then they went on their morning-till-night

The Jesus I never knew is an interesting book. There are many insights about Jesus throughout chapter 1. Throughout‚ chapter 1 the author and I both agree on similar things such as us studying the gesture and words in the gospel but we can’t see Jesus in the flesh.
