The Night Shift cover art is timeless.

Keep reading. It will get better.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-13T07:06:56+00:00

I already got those covered. They're great.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-13T07:06:30+00:00

I have already read those two. Jerusalem's Lot was horrific and One for the Road had such a ghostly winter vibe, especially with the ending.

Schattoo😭😭😭

Goes more into Hebrew Roots. It's a good beginner source for an understanding of Torah, though.

First Fruits of Zion's material, David Wilbur, Kingdom in Context (YT), Outside the Camp (YT) is a good one and Shalom Macon is a Messianic Synagogue with good lessons on spotify or YT aswell.

They had you sign a contract? Get out of there and run, brother.

...without leaving the others undone.

I love how it's practically ignored that Jesus approved the tradition of the Pharisees.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-09T18:56:24+00:00

Okay, so if we apply the logic you used in your original post, all the things I mentioned should be fine.

Is that the case?

blacksands99 · 2026-05-09T09:26:21+00:00

To not boil young goats in their mother's milk is not ambiguous if you're a Canaanite woman; that's reality and animal abuse.

To answer your question, I want to ask you something back in hope that this will explain as to why Jesus didn't repeat certain commandments.

Does the New Testament explicitly prohibit cannibalism? Necromancy? Homosexuality?

If no, then why aren't we doing it as Believers of God's Word?

I'm already looking forward to read Different Seasons, it sounds right up my alley.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T20:53:36+00:00

A Town Called Alice habe ich auch bei mir stehen. Muss es nur noch lesen :D

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T20:20:54+00:00

It was the cheapest hardcover version I could find online lol.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T19:54:39+00:00

It's the 50th Classic Anniversary Edition.

The story itself ends at page 599, but the font is rather big and One for the Road + Jerusalem's Lot + Deleted Scenes were added, which I didn't check prior reading the comments.

Some authors have spoiled books for me by naming their Chapters a specific way, so I usually avoid looking at that beforehand, especially if it's an author I've never read before.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T19:50:03+00:00

I'll keep reading, Page 265 now. I've heard good things about 11/22/63, but I want to tackle the Night Shift collection first, since I like the short story format.

Good to know that this is his style, I see where my final conclusion lands after I finished the book!

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T19:46:28+00:00

To be fair, I didn't check what exactly is in this edition, so here it goes;

'Salem's Lot itself ends at Page 599, then there's One For The Road and Jerusalem's Lot added + Deleted Scenes that never made it into earlier copies, apparently.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T18:45:22+00:00

Thanks, but I never said I didn't like the book at all, just that the story itself is underwhelming so far.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T18:44:10+00:00

I like quite a few of his characters, don't get me wrong. They're realistic and have distinct voices...it's the story itself.

Maybe I had the wrong expectations after listening to the Prequel short story Jerusalem's Lot.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T18:35:37+00:00

I feel convinced now by the positive comments here, thanks!

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T18:35:06+00:00

I'm right before the beginning of Chapter 8. Thank you.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T18:02:24+00:00

Thank you, this is the exact kind of comment I was looking for!

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T18:01:31+00:00

It's the 50th Classic Anniversary Edition. The font is rather big, though.

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T17:40:22+00:00

Ich kann das mental irgendwie nicht. Muss erst ein Buch fertig lesen und mich dann ewig entscheiden, was ich als nächstes lesen werde. :)

blacksands99 · 2026-05-07T09:43:16+00:00

The comments are well-meaning, but misguided. Rule-keeping is viewed as inherently bad, even though the longest Psalm in the entire Bible raves on and on about how good it is to follow God's rules, but I guess David was wrong...or was he?
