The Crystal Pointers, by Frank W. Boreham (1871 - 1959)

Volunteers outside the USA: Frank W. Boreham died in 1959. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Frank W. Boreham was a Baptist preacher from England who spent many years in New Zealand and Australia, but also traveled extensively in the U.S. and Canada. He was a prolific author, widely read and respected, with scores of books spanning over a half century. He had a unique ability to draw spiritual applications from many commonplace experiences and events, drawing the reader in with engaging insights. This volume includes such intriguing titles as, “Pockets,” “Kisses,” “The Risky Road,” and “The Cuckoo in the Robins' Nest.” (Summary by Larry Wilson)

Ok, you should be all set! I'll try to pick up one or two sections myself, once you've got the MW filled in.

Thanks for setting this up, Devorah!

I've decided to ignore the part divisions. As far as I can tell, they really don't seem to mean much, but maybe I'm wrong. And this gives a much cleaner look to the contents. If you have another view, I'm certainly willing to consider it.

Anyway, MW is set up and M is with us again for DPL, so I think we are ready for readers!

Hi! I just recently got the OK for my 1-minute test.

I'd like to record Chapter 2 - Pockets, and Chapter 22 - Kisses. Would it be possible to be assigned these two sections?

I'm happy to take any advice or recommendations if you think these two sections might be a lot to take on for a beginner. :)
