Absolute Surrender
Absolute Surrender

Review:This book can be life changing! Realizing that it is God who gives the desire and ability to surrender to Him, and to maintain that surrender, teaches that it is not about holding on with gritted teeth, but open hands and heart in surrender to Him. I highly recommend this book! Read more

Being and Time (Harper Perennial Modern Thought)
Being and Time (Harper Perennial Modern Thought)

Review:I became interested in Heidegger because of his influence on Karl Rahner's earlier work, such as Spirit in the World. I am just finishing my second reading of Being and Time. Sometimes I think I am reading a classic and other times reductionism par excellence. Of course, the Rahnerian in me would point out Heidegger's denial of Absolute Being and thus a person's pre-apprehension of Being as the basis of inquiry and categorical knowledge. So, one wonders about the coherence and unity of Heidegger... Read more

The End of White Christian America
The End of White Christian America

Review:Demographer of religion Robert P. Jones has bad news for White Christian America (WCA). Few will be surprised at his news, that the heyday of WCA's influential role in United States society and politics is over. The End of White Christian America is Jones's retrospective and obituary. Jones quotes E.J. Dionne, who said "white Protestantism served as 'the civic and moral glue that held American public life together' for most of the United States' history."

I'll be up front about this: I... Read more

What's So Amazing About Grace?
What's So Amazing About Grace?

Review:Love this book so much! Yancey is an amazing writer. I am floored by the way he puts the concept of God's grace and the church into perspective. I highly recommend as a good read for those of the faith, or even for those considering Christianity. Read more

The decline of the West
The decline of the West

Review:Most of the negative comments concerning this most remarkable book are directed at the abridgement, not the book itself. I found nothing in the abridgement offensive or distorting. The introduction is terrible and does, in fact, betray a deep misunderstanding of Spengler. But I was able to read the abridgement with pleasure (in a day, too) and then go out and buy the two-volume hardcover edition later on. Now nearly ten years later I still find Spengler the most insightful historian that has... Read more

Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy
Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy

Review:I HAVE READ MANY BOOKS ABOUT SANDY KOUFAX AND THIS ANOTHER THAT IS PRETTY GOOD. THE AUTHOR JANE LEAVY, DOES A GREAT JOB FOLLOWING HIS CAREER AND EARLY LIFE, BUT I FELT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH MATERIAL ABOUT HIS LIFE AFTER HIS CAREER ENDED IN 1966. SAND KOUFAX IS THE GREATEST PICHER I HAVE SEEN. I ALWAYS TRIED TO SEE HIM ON TV ON SATURDAY GAME OF THE WEEK, ALL STAR GAME OR WORLD SERIES. WE HAD NO CABLE OR SATELITE TV THEN. LOOK AT HIS STATS, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HE JUST DOMINATED ALMOST EVERY GAME H... Read more

Untold Stories of Alien Encounters in Mesoamerica
Untold Stories of Alien Encounters in Mesoamerica

Review:I've been reading books from Amazon for years and this is the first time I've bothered to write a review but I liked the book so much I thought I should. Thoughtful and well written. Provides a really interesting glimpse into another culture's beliefs and experiences. There is also enough material in this book for two books so I really felt I got my money's worth. Read more

The True Story of the Union Screaming House - The Uninvited
The True Story of the Union Screaming House - The Uninvited

Review:Steven Lachance writes like a high school girl trying desperately to scare her friends. Sentence tense jumps from present to past, sometimes within the same sentence, and punctuation seems sprinkled randomly through the prose. Plus, since he links his story to Ed and Lorraine Warren, the crown royalty of charlatans, you can be assured he is a fraud looking for a quick buck. Read more

The Hidden History of the Human Race - Forbidden Archeology
The Hidden History of the Human Race - Forbidden Archeology

Review:Here's a good Brain-Teaser ,.,.,. that everyone can empathize with!!!

How did human beings get here??? Where did we come from???

There are "2" good answers that everyone is aware of:

1- Evolution, Darwinism; we evolved from a damn monkey!

[I could never buy this explanation! I believe it's Nazism, "the blacks" being the missing link.]

2- Creationism; a God made the people! [I could never buy this hokus-pokus, faith is their only support.]

DID YOU KNOW TH... Read more

Home with God: In a Life That Never Ends
Home with God: In a Life That Never Ends

Review:Neale continues to amaze me. It is no secret that we do not get along personally. But that aside he knows how to "channel" God or at least listen and write what God is saying to him. There have been messengers throughout history which brought Gods message to this planet. Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, Krishna, Mershid, and many others. Now, like it or not, we must put Neale's books among them for understandable content. Read more
