The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood"Christopher Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was a creature who would prove in many ways to be more human than I am." from The Good Good Pig A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people.

"Christopher Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was a creature who would prove in many ways to be more human than I am."-from The Good Good Pig A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish-and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually weighing 750 pounds) to family and home. The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving heart made him absolute monarch over a (mostly) peaceable kingdom. At first, his domain included only Sy's cosseted hens and her beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers brought him delicious leftovers. His intelligence and fame increased along with his girth. He was featured in USA Today and on several National Public Radio environmental programs. On election day, some voters even wrote in Christopher's name on their ballots. But as this enchanting book describes, Christopher Hogwood's influence extended far beyond celebrity; for he was, as a friend said, a great big Buddha master. Sy reveals what she and others learned from this generous soul who just so happened to be a pig-lessons about self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value of community, and the pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is possible.

Excellent tool for gospel workers!
Format: Kindle
For those of us who want to contextualize the gospel in pagan contexts, Dr. Michael S. Heiser helps us get beyond our own cultural context to the ancient cultural context of the Bible itself. One could spend years and years researching the ancient contexts of the Bible, but for workers with families and careers other than Dr. Heiser's, the time needed would far exeed what is practical.
Thankfully, there is a solution: Dr. Heiser has done a lot of the distilling needed to grasp the basic cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the Bible writers. After presenting the Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon and I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible, he has done one better here in the Bible Unfiltered. Why do I say better? Well, I would say that as time has gone on, Dr. Heiser's ability to communicate complex topics for the average layman has improved markedly.
Get this book, let it whet your appetite, and then please do get Unseen Realm and Reversing Hermon. They will help you to understand the Bible, contextualize the gospel, and offer an entrance to a fantastic intellectual and spiritual journey of a lifetime.

Practical, elegant, and very functional.
Size: Paper Towel Holder - Standard Design
I absolutely loved this paper towel holder. It features a modern stainless steel design that looks beautiful in the kitchen and matches everything. The base is quite heavy, so it doesn't slide around or tip over when you tear off a sheet—which is incredibly important. The addition of the spray bottle is an excellent bonus. It’s perfect for keeping water, vinegar, or a cleaning solution close at hand, allowing you to do a quick cleanup while you’re cooking or wiping down the countertops. Plus, it’s easy to refill and use. Another feature I appreciated is the side arm, which helps keep the roll in place and prevents it from unraveling on its own. It is well-made and durable. Overall, it is a very practical product that saves space and makes things much more convenient in the kitchen.

Nice and handy!
Size: Paper Towel Holder - Standard Design
Needed a sturdy paper towel holder for one hand operation. This fit the bill. I really like that I can just put some cleaner of choice in the middle to always have on hand; makes clean up a breeze. Would definitely recommend!

It works
Size: Paper Towel Holder - With Phone Holder Design
It's great for what it is. I love the spring arm that holds the towels from unraveling. It does keep the towels from in raveling. That's the reason I bought it. The only thing I don't like about it is the spray bottle on the top. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I didn't think I'd use the phone holder and made fun of it. But I actually used it and liked the fact that it did its job well. I just don't like it nor will I use it. The spray bottle is the reason for 4 stars

Return for a reason
Size: Paper Towel Holder - Standard Design
The spray bottle feels very cheap, and it doesn’t stick well down to the paper towel holder. The actual holder is an OK quality it’s very flimsy but it does the job. I would recommend to spend the extra money to get a better one from amazon
