Book Description
Writer Susan Tweit and her economist-turned-sculptor husband Richard Cabe had just settled into their version of a “good life” when Richard saw thousands of birds one day—harbingers of the brain cancer that would kill him two years later. This compelling and intimate memoir chronicles their journey into the end of his life, framed by their final trip together, a 4,000-mile-long delayed honeymoon road trip. As Susan and Richard navigate the unfamiliar territory of brain cancer treatment and learn a whole new vocabulary—craniotomies, adjuvant chemotherapy, and brain geography—they also develop new routines for a mindful existence, relying on each other and their connection to nature, including the real birds Richard enjoys watching. Their determination to walk hand in hand, with open hearts, results in profound and difficult adjustments in their roles. Bless the Birds is not a sad story. It is both prayer and love song, a guide to how to thrive in a world where all we hold dear seems to be eroding, whether simple civility and respect, our health and safety, or the Earth itself. It’s an exploration of living with love in a time of dying—whether personal or global—with humor, unflinching courage, and grace. And it is an invitation to choose to live in light of what we love, rather than what we fear.

Book Description
God is always good. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. So why do people ask the question, If God is so good, why does he allow evil to happen to people? Of course, most people ask this question rhetorically. The answer is quite simple. We are free! We have the freedom to do anything we want, even if and when consequences follow. So if we steal and we are caught, we reap the consequences of that action. Likewise, if we study Gods rulebook and apply the principles and promises therein, we will reap the positive results of our freedom of choice. We are the most blessed people on Earth if we choose to be. Gods forgiveness, health, and prosperity become ours when we believe Gods Word.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Blessed Birds or Highways and Byways Some of the following papers originally appeared in the 'Buffalo Sunday Courier, ' 'Buffalo Commercial, ' Bulletin of the 'Society of Natural Sciences, ' and Chicago 'Humane Journal.' They were apparently so well received that I have been persuaded to revise and republish them, in connection with others of more general interest, in book form. What I have written of the birds in this little volume has been 'a labor of love.' Human companionship excepted, these blessed creatures have ministered to my happiness in a greater degree than any other class of objects. About home they have ever been a solace and a delight. When I have been among human strangers I have found the birds old acquaintances and intimate friends, always giving so much, and exacting so little in return.
