'When Christ sayd, the kingdome of heaven must suffer violence, hee meant not the violence of long babbling praiers to no purpose, nor the tedious invective sermons without wit, but the violence of faith, the violence of good works, the violence of patient suffering.'

At B&N with @Blueberry looking at travel journals. Only found these two but wasn't in love with them. I think I want something more to document the trip rather than for planning one. Any recommendations?

I realize that this was written in the 1590's. I realize that it's the pre-cursor to the English novel. I also realize that was some VERY Old English and it muddied the whole thing for me to the point I became uninterested. Thankfully, this was a short read and one more feather in my cap for the #1001Books 122/1,001

AshleyHoss820 @Liz_M Thank you! I can understand it's importance, I just didn't care for it. It started out okay, once you got used to the writing, but it was downhill after that...If it helps, it's pretty short! My Nook said 75 pages, or something... (edited) 6y
