My impression of the American people can be summarized by a quotation from Benjamin Franklin, Those things that hurt instruct! I realised that people in this part of the world meet their problems head on. They attempt to get out of them rather than suffer them.

Singing what's in your heart? Naming the things you love and loathe? You can get hurt that way. Hell, you will get hurt that way.

You think that's an option? You clearly aren't listening to enough Morrissey songs.
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but God's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the Saviour's book and the sinner's.
