If the number of articles copied from a book indicates its value,
then "Two Men," first published in 1998, must have been widely
considered useful. This little book has proved to be one of the
most popular sources of church bulletin articles in recent years.
Perhaps it is their brevity that makes them fit nicely in a
bulletin. More likely it is the practical treatment of needed
topics in such a way that what is right appears reasonable and
preferable to any alternative. The brief articles contrasting
different characters fill about one-fourth of the book, thus the
title, "Two Men." The men described remind us of people we know,
and sometime of ourselves, as we see qualities both good and bad so
graphically described. Such portraits should encourage
self-improvement. The remaining articles are equally practical,
dealing with such subjects as family, church, doctrinal questions
and Christian living, providing godly wisdom for dealing with real
life situations.
Bill Hall, friend and butler to cats, admits to mixed feelings
about such strange little creatures. He compares serving a cat to
having a human 2-year-old in your life-something lovable that
commands your affection but trashes your house. A cat, like a
child, will mangle your begonias and then crawl into your lap to
share the warmth of its feelings - but only if it really wants to.
Hall, a syndicated humor columnist, admits his popular cat stories
are really about humans and the rational reasons we bring cats into
our lives - for entertainment and for fuzzy filler in empty nests.
Hanging out with cats also gives hope for humankind. After all, if
we can bond so tightly with creatures from another species, then we
could easily learn to harmonize with fellow human beings.
