Excellent! I have worked with Tice and his and Kelsey's translation is excellent. Sometimes retired pastors sell their LW at retirement. If I come across a set for sale I will let you know.

VERY excited to receive this volume in the mail today! It all started about six years. Deep gratitude to my co-editors Laura MacGregor and Tom Reynolds. Thanks too to our amazing contributors and participants in the original study, the Louisville Institute, and to t@tclark.

Alas, curling usually involves some heart break. In my case, quite a lot of it

As needed but generally around the school, etc., I am Allen. But I inhabit a good bit of privilege, so I understand other choices.
