One Minute After You Die
One Minute After You Die

Review:On January 2nd my husband passed away. I know he is with the Lord, but had a question for my pastor. His response was to do a Bible Study on this book. It has been very helpful for me and so I ordered the book for Kindle and the work book in print. I am sorry to say, I haven't finished the book although I have read a lot of it, because I also have several other books I am reading for homework. But I fully intend to finish the reading and then go back to do the work book as well. It is very... Read more

and the Making of a Nation - the Founding Fathers
and the Making of a Nation - the Founding Fathers

Review:American Gospel is right on target. Americans are fortunate that our founders conceived the wall of separation between church and state. These educated and forward thinking representatives had the historical knowledge to realize the folly of alternatives. Read more

Why Evolution Is True
Why Evolution Is True

Review:"Why Evolution Is True" is a well written, informative, very convincing defense of the truth and accuracy of evolution. The author, Jerry Coyne, does an excellent job of presenting a complex subject in a readable and understandable fashion. The book is filled with innumerable examples, which clarify and support the positions the author has taken.

The book is also quite persuasive of the author's position. Unlike many of the readers, who appear quite educated in this subject, I come to ... Read more

The Restless Soul of the World's Most Notorious Atheist
The Restless Soul of the World's Most Notorious Atheist

Review:I recognize that the majority of the one-star reviewers of this book didn't read past the provocative title. Having been in attendance at a few of the events depicted in the book, and having followed Hitchens online since then, I came to this book with deep curiosity, wondering if it would be consistent with what I observed between Hitchens and Taunton. It was.

It's not surprising to learn that a public figure like Hitchens kept some things to himself, or that there was a difference betwe... Read more

How Science Can Determine Human Values - The Moral Landscape
How Science Can Determine Human Values - The Moral Landscape

Review:Sam Harris has a very no-nonsense way of writing. When he has a point to make, he does so with very little repetition, while still making sure it is easily comprehensible. Also, this book has expanded my vocabulary as he uses very powerful, yet uncommon, words rather frequently.

As far as the meat of the book is concerned, Sam Harris, a neuroscientist, puts forth his basis for morality and the reasons to support it. His opinion can be summed up, in his own words, as "Morality and values d... Read more

Letters to a Young Contrarian (Art of Mentoring (Paperback))
Letters to a Young Contrarian (Art of Mentoring (Paperback))

Review:I disagree with almost everything Hitchens says politically, except when he talks about the rights of the individual, the War on Terrorism, and the evils of all kinds of totalitarianism. Yet, I have always enjoyed his wit, his writing, and his liver. It is a treat to read Hitchens because he is funny, he does make you think, and he does make some points. But then again, I don't know if I learned anything from this book. How to be a contrarian? He never gives a precise definition, yet it see... Read more

Free Will [Deckle Edge]
Free Will [Deckle Edge]

Review:Sam Harris makes a strong point in his book, which can basically be burned down to "We don't have free will because we don't know why we want chocolate vs vanilla ice cream on a particular day". And he stays on subject, hitting it from a sides before ending the book. However, its just a singular case he is making on a subject that has a lot of depth to it. At the end, I found myself very much wanting. There are so many directions to go from here. He is just touching on a subject which extend... Read more

The Supernatural Book of Monsters - and Ghouls
The Supernatural Book of Monsters - and Ghouls

Review:As an avid fan of Supernatural, I bought this book. It is a nice piece of TV reference material. The idea of this book is wonderful but I really missed a Bibliography and an Index. Too bad it is not that type of reference work. This writer has done a great amount of studying. I had never heard of him so looked him up. He is basically a sci-fi writer, my favorite venue when I read fiction. I think now I will be reading some of his other work. Read more
