There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize,
but all of these are completely optional.

Today, the challenge
is hosted by
Bout of Books
Mix ‘n Match
Pick out 10-15 books from your shelf,
from your local library, or from a local bookstore.
In each book, flip to a random page and pick the 1st word.
Use all these 1st words to try to create an actual sentence.
The pile of 10 books I chose
I just picked the books available around me. Sorry, the picture is pathetic and we don’t even see the last 2!
Here are the 10 words I got:
perfection, through, knowledge, left, thought, fire, problem, concerning, epistles, personal
And here is my sentence.
It actually does men something totally in keeping with Orthodox theology books I’m currently reading!
My personal problem concerning perfection is that I thought I could attain fire through the knowledge found in the epistles left by wise people.
the philokalia…..
