The Cross-Stitch Motif Bible:
As some for you will know already, I am a huge cross stitch fan. When it comes to designs, (charts), I prefer books with a range of smaller charts that I can dip into whatever the occasion.
The cross stitch motif bible is one of the first cross stitch books I got and it is still one I turn to regularly. The book contains over 1000 full colour charts that are very easy to follow. I much prefer colour charts to the kind that are black and white but rely on symbols, with coloured charts I find it easier to count the stitches and it also makes it easier to use threads I have instead of using the ones on the chart. As far as I have noticed the book uses only whole stitches, backstitch and French knots. There are colour codes for DMC and Anchor threads included.

Advantages: one of the most complex and fascinating books ever Disadvantages: one of the most abused and misunderstood books ever

So how do you discuss such a book, where do you begin? I will begin by explaining my angle.
There seem to be two opposite camps that people fall into when the Bible is the subject for discussion. The devout see the writing as ...

Advantages: Wonderful opportunity to learn. Disadvantages: Not the easiest book to read.
I know that a lot of readers find the subject of the Bible a little uncomfortable and question, in their disbelief of God, the relevance of a book like this in their lives, and that many readers may also question my right to review such a book. I am not going to review in the traditional way, i.e. contents, length, price, etc., too much at all. For me, the importance of telling people a little more about how I believe it can enhance their lives, is far more important.
You could ask yourself if I am significant enough a writer to be able to write a review about such a great book, and here I would argue that the Bible was written for everyone, and without going into the intricacies of the Bible in a "Bible thumping" manner, if I pursuade one person to read it and to change their view about what the Bible offers an individual, then I ...
