Warmonger, womanizer, and autocrat, Louis XIV may also have been history's most fanatical gardener. At Versailles, twelve miles outside Paris, France's self-styled Sun King created not only Europe's most lavish palace, but, beginning in 1661, the most extensive gardens the Western world has ever seen. Assisting Louis in this enterprise was the low-born gardener Andr Le N tre, whose character and temperament were as different from those of his sovereign as it is possible to conceive. Where Louis was ruthless and relentlessly driven, Le N tre was down to earth, witty and amiable - and also phenomenally talented. While Louis could strike fear into the highest in the land with just a look, Le N tre enjoyed the king's trust and friendship for more than 40 years. In this lavishly illustrated book, Ian Thompson tells more comprehensively than ever before the intertwined stories of an extraordinary garden and an extraordinary friendship.

The View from Under the Pew
By Diane Winters Johnson, Margaret FreedAbingdon Press
All rights reserved.
Walter is a beautiful blond golden retriever who born for a very special purposes. He works as a Seeing Eye® dog with Pastor Diane. Pastor Diane has difficulty seeing, and Walter's job is to guide her through the day so she can do her work of caring for the church.
To become a Seeing Eye® dog, Walter had to go to school. He had to learn how to guide in the harness, how to follow directions, and how to keep Pastor Diane safe in traffic. To become a pastor, Diane went to school, too, first to college and then to a special school called a seminary. Walter was right there beside her all the way. Her job was to learn, and Walter's job was to guide her away from danger as she walked through the town, in the halls, and around the school grounds. They worked very well together.
When Diane graduated, she was ready to become a pastor. Together Walter and Diane went to a ceremony called an ordination. The bishop prayed a blessing prayer. Some of the people wore long robes over their clothes. These robes helped the congregation know which people were the pastors. Over the robes most wore long red scarves called stoles. Aer the ordination, it was decided that Walter and the new pastor would go to a church downtown to begin their ministry together. They were very happy.
Now, Walter guides Pastor Diane down the sidewalk each day to the big church downtown and sits in Pastor Diane's study as she works. As Walter lies on his big green pillow under the desk, he can see many different people come to visit with Pastor Diane. Some people come to plan Sunday services. Other people come to talk about their worries, to pray, or to find help with their lives. Pastor Diane tries hard to help everyone who comes to see her.
On Monday, Pastor Diane begins to write the church newsleer. She types into her computer. Pastor Diane and Walter hear the computer talking as she types. The talking of the computer helps Pastor Diane know what the screen says. Soon the newsleer is done, and they can go home for the day.
