lightening the load

I had been wondering how we would be able to take as many books out to West Africa as we would like to, given that there are many books that would be helpful to us in our work and yet they weigh so much. Today part of that problem was solved! A publisher came to sell damaged books at cut prices here in college - they can't sell them to shops and students are happy to be able to get them at a cheaper price so everyone is happy! I didn't think there would be much point in looking, as we are trying to get rid of books not buy more, but then Marc came up to me saying, "They've got the Bible Speaks Today New Testament series on CD-rom - do we want it?" Wow!! My favourite series of commentaries for the price you'd usually pay for about 4 of them, and weighing soooo much less!

And then someone (Peter actually!) pointed out that there was also a study CD-rom with things like the New Bible Commentary and New Bible Dictionary on it ... and we couldn't resist! What a blessing! I nearly skipped home afterwards!
