Ruth Bell Graham - Memory Eternal

Just found out through my feed to Get Religion that Ruth Bell Graham died; i have her book (something to do with pack rat on the front, i love that book and have read it more than once, though not in the last few years, as most of my books are still in Michigan).

here is the link i found out about her falling asleep: http://www.getreligion.org/?p=2480

She has been an inspiration to many many women. may we now honour her in prayers for the newly departed.

Memory eternal; may you dwell in peace in the mansions of the righteous.

Memory Eternal.

I was surprised to read in an article that she was Presbyterian and not Baptist like Billy.

I also have that same book, but I've never read it. Maybe it's time to pull it out and do so.

it is a lovely book; the immediacy of her prose makes you feel like you know her, that she is letting you in on her life; what a woman of prayer...

she and other woman like her were very strong influences on my life pre-orthodox ( : ) ) and i miss her, though i knew her only by her books...

my Mom mentioned her passing to me, knowing i love her books and i told her i knew, etc...

Oooh, now you've gotten me excited to read it.

Interestingly, my non-Christian mother gave it to me to read. She said I'd enjoy it.

i also remember the book being very comforting, home-like...
