Dad/Grampa's choice for the
Sibling Book Club for December:

Gandhi: An Autobiography - The Story of My Experiments With Truth 

by Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi  


LISTENING IS THE NEW READING

Narrator: Bill WallacePublisher: Blackstone Audio
Format: Unabridged AudiobookDelivery: 
Instant DownloadAudio Length: 18.75 hoursRelease
Date: April 2010
ISBN: 9781455198023

  

Paperback – November 1, 1993
“My purpose," Mahatma Gandhi writes of this book, "is to describe experiments in the science of Satyagraha, not to say how good I am." Satyagraha, Gandhi's nonviolent protest movement (satya = true, agraha = firmness), came to stand, like its creator, as a moral principle and a rallying cry; the principle was truth and the cry freedom. The life of Gandhi has given fire and fiber to freedom fighters and to the untouchables of the world: hagiographers and patriots have capitalized on Mahatma myths. Yet Gandhi writes: "Often the title [Mahatma, Great Soul] has deeply pained me. . . . But I should certainly like to narrate my experiments in the spiritual field which are known only to myself, and from which I have derived such power as I possess for working in the political field." 
Clearly, Gandhi never renounced the world; he was neither pacifist nor cult guru. Who was Gandhi? In the midst of resurging interest in the man who freed India, inspired the American Civil Rights Movement, and is revered, respected, and misunderstood all over the world, the time is proper to listen to Gandhi himself — in his own words, his own "confessions," his autobiography.

Mahātmā Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (/ˈɡɑːndi, ˈɡæn-/;[3] Hindustani: [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] (About this sound listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the leader of the Indian independence movementagainst British rule. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable")[4]—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa[5]—is now used worldwide. In India, he is also called Bapu ji (Gujarati: endearment for father,[6] papa[6][7]) and Gandhi ji. He is unofficially called the Father of the Nation.[8][9]

Another choice Dad/Grampa considered is:
 Churchill - The Prophetic Statesman 
by James Humes - Audio book is 6 hours 12 minutes.

Overview of this week: Mon and Tues -- We'll get some things done then Wed will drive back to
            Gary's to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner the next day.
              We're looking forward to having Janice and Jeff
                come to dinner with us, along with Cortney and Kimble.
                   (Steve and Natalie are driving Carter to San Diego for his
                       league soccer tourney the Fri and Sat after Thanksgiving.)

Then Fri, Nov. 24 Brian is flying us to Tennessee to visit with them until
                the next Tues, Nov. 28.  They are having their Thanksgiving dinner
                on Sat, Nov. 25 when they will have their kids all together.
                    We are looking forward to being with them.

                    We feel blessed and loved.
                      We are thankful for each one of you.
Love,

How Much Turkey Per Person?
Order roughly 1.25 pounds of turkey per guest—so, for example, a 12- to 13-pound bird to feed a party of 9—so everyone can get their fill and have some leftovers, too. If you want lots of leftovers, order 1.5 pounds per guest.

What Temperature to Cook a Turkey

Set your oven to 325°F to cook your bird evenly. The total cook time will depend on the size of your turkey, so let a meat thermometer be the ultimate judge. Your turkey is cooked when the breast meat reaches 170°F and the thighs reaches 180°F.
After it's done, allow the bird to rest for at 20 least minutes before carving. This is the perfect time to use the o

We will be in Tennessee. 
Sunday, November 26, 2017
We will be in Tennessee.
We testify that...
Heavenly Father knows us and loves us, as does our Heavenly Mother. We are created in their image. They want us to find joy in this life, follow Them, and return to Them.

Jesus Christ was sent to become our Redeemer and Savior

and He also knows us by name and loves us.  He is our Advocate with the Father.

May we always love them, believe them, and follow them, so that we may be able to live with them forever.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Walt and Eileen Petersen
