That was funny, Maria ~ !

The table of contents look SO GOOD -
thanks so much for rendering them into English, or copying them out from a list, Icxypion.
It makes the book irresistible.
But I can't figure out what the Greek ordering info is about.
I don't see a Paypal option. Oh oh ---

Any tips on how to go about this?

I feel i must persist as long as that license plate showed so clearly -
you know, i remembered AFTER I wrote that, that it appeared
just an instant before I had to turn left to get to that Chevron -
so clearly perfect timing.

Out of loss came much profit !

Yes, I thought so too, that it was a good reminder to change a few more
cars' gas caps for locking ones, where available.

If you want to order it I think all you have to do is email the link for the book to Light and Life, or some Greek Orthodox bookstore based in USA and they can special order it for you.
