Book About a Book

May 10, 2020 By eReader Nation

This is a fun review of the publication, Ladies’ Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness, written around a hundred years ago by Florence Hartley. I will take a journey through the book and compare the advice given by Ms. Hartley to modern-day advice. Some ideas are still standing such as treating others as you would like to be treated and respecting others’ opinions. However, other statements show the drastic change from the Victorian era to the world we live in today, such as the development of information technology, where, for example, we have the ability to book a hotel from anywhere in the world and read its reviews. Take this trip back in time with me and let’s discover the radical change in the behavior and freedom of women. $2.99 on Kindle.

The Seeds We Sow: A Story of the Greatest Kindness

May 2, 2020 By eReader Nation

This is a story of three devout Christians.

In his quest to help feed poor people all over the world George Washington Carver was probably most influential not because he was the “peanut man,” but rather because he was a “gentleman.” His protege Henry Agard Wallace continued Carver’s work as the New Deal Secretary of Agriculture and Vice President of the United States. He was likely one of the most misunderstood leaders of the twentieth century. In turn, Wallace passed the baton to Norman Borlaug, who worked in quiet obscurity until he was the surprise recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.
Because Carver, Wallace and Borlaug lived, so do we. $0.99 on Kindle.
