Savage Girls and Wild Boys
Michael Newton
Rating 
Readable case studies of feral children across countries and continents, from the enigmatic child of Europe, Kasper Hauser, to the wild wolf girls of India. When I reached the end, I was quite depressed by humanity's collective reaction and our obvious failure to understand these bright sparks of tragic mystery.
Don't Tell Alfred
Nancy Mitford
Rating
The last in the "trilogy" chronicling the lives of Fanny and her dysfunctional English relatives. When Alfred gets the job as the English Ambassador to France, Fanny has to shift whole continents of comfort zones to fit in. In comes Northey, the besotted-with-anything Scotch girl who proves to be more than a handful.
H.P. Lovecraft's Favourite Weird Tales
Editor: Douglas A. Anderson
Rating 
H.P. Lovecraft loved these horror stories. Selected by the master himself, the collection consists of famous tales of horror as well as little known stories published in
Weird Tales magazine early in the 20th century. My favourite has got to be M.R. James's
Count Magnus. *shudders*

God has infinite grace. The tears well up in me. My selfish prayers never go unheeded. My fear vanishes. I cry myself to sleep.
Comments:
there are prayers that can't be regarded as selfish. no, really. you can ask for them because like your title says,it's God's grace.
God is like a father delighted to bless His child.
