Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest (1851) is a work by George Borrow, falling somewhere between the genres of memoir and novel, which has long been considered a classic of 19th-century English literature. According to the author, lav-engro is a Romany word meaning "word master". The historian G. M. Trevelyan called it "a book that breathes the spirit of that period of strong and eccentric characters".

Its protagonist, whose name is George, is born the son of an officer in a militia regiment and is brought up in various barrack towns in England, Scotland and Ireland. After serving an apprenticeship to a lawyer he moves to London and becomes a Grub Street hack, an occupation which gives him ample opportunities to observe London low-life. Finally he takes to the road as a tinker. At various points through the book he associates with Romany travellers, of whom he gives memorable and generally sympathetic pen-portraits. Lavengro was followed by a sequel, The Romany Rye. However, neither of the two books are self-contained. Rather, Lavengro ends abruptly with chapter 100, and carries on directly in The Romany Rye. Thus, both need to be read together, in order.

Another Classic
Format: Kindle
I love Rick Renner’s book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. We definitely need a revival of the Bible in our country, or homes and families, and the church. But we are reminded in this book that we are not just called to shake our heads in wonder, but are called to play a part in reversing the works of the enemy.

God's love for us & His power to help us & help others!
Format: Kindle
Must read for all Christians. We must be more aware of what Satan is doing in our world everyday. We must draw strength from our God to ward off Satan's attempts to change our Christian values in these, the last days. Pray for strength and guidance! Scripture references support his text.
