Stillness Speaks : Whispers of Now
Stillness Speaks : Whispers of Now

Review:I found this book to be very insightful. It's written very clearly, and cuts right through challenging thoughts. It's 'paragraph' layout makes it easy to read, and fitting for the kind of book it is. I'd recommend it to anyone with an open mind seeking Truth. Read more

The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway - The Finca Vigia Edition
The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway - The Finca Vigia Edition

Review:I read a lot of these short stories. Mostly they are about stoic men drinking and either killing other people, getting killed, killing themselves, remembering a death, or being witness to some death of something. Read more

Behold a Pale Horse
Behold a Pale Horse

Review:My son wanted this book, he is a conspiracy nut. My husband read the book first, then we gave it to my son! My husband said it was a very good read, a little far out there, but a good read. Fast shipping. Thanks. Read more

Simple Responses to 20 Common Arguments for the Existence of God
Simple Responses to 20 Common Arguments for the Existence of God

Review:This is perhaps the best place to start. The author's arguments are rational and fair. Though I'd be considered a relatively new "born again athiest," this is one of the best books that I've read so far on this topic. Read more

The Varieties of Scientific Experience - A Personal View of the Search for God
The Varieties of Scientific Experience - A Personal View of the Search for God

Review:Some years back I set out to read as many books as I could that purported to speak in favour and against the existence of God, and see where the evidence led. I won't bother you with my findings, we all have to make that journey ourselves.
With the greatest respect for Mr. Sagan, his arguments were very simplistic, superficial, specious, and, quite frankly, not worthy of being called scientific (alliteration not intended). This is not meant to demean the great man, but from reading numerous b... Read more

The Spiritual Power of Habit - You Are What You Love
The Spiritual Power of Habit - You Are What You Love

Review:I was expecting a book that uplifted me and taught me to use better the loves I have. What I got was a philosophical/historical look at worship in the church over the ages with a few chapters in the beginning discussing how we tend to follow the society while living with buried loves on the inside of us that don't get expressed. Very disappointing Read more

A Separate Reality
A Separate Reality

Review:I await the next audiotapes by Peter Coyote on the Castaneda writings. I found his style of speaking perfect for how I image the conversations of Don Juan and Carlos. I rated the tape a number 8 because of the abrupt ending of the tape. I had to replay it twice to be sure that the tape wasn't damage. Also, It would be nice if the whole book was narrated, instead of the abridged portion of it. Read more

The Bondage of the Will
The Bondage of the Will

Review:WARNING - Do not buy Sovereign Grace Publishers Henry Cole translation of Bondage of the Will.

After slogging through 95 pages of its barely understandable jargon, I asked my dad, Pastor Gerry Mohr (LCMS) if Luther's reputation for intellect was, perhaps, a bit unearned. He replied, "Cole whipped out his translation effort in three months or less. Luther's original is a direct reply to a work by Erasmus directly aimed against what Luther was teaching. Cole does not take the time to und... Read more

There Is More Going On Here than You Ever Dared to Dream
There Is More Going On Here than You Ever Dared to Dream

Review:I found it to be too long,drawn out. I thought it would be more about The Shacks insite and not dry history. Disappointed as I was I continued to read and did learn from his book. It just was not what I expected when I bought the book, and the many pages in the end I felt was not necessary. His title is misleading. It should be "The Shack Revisited" by reading the pages over and over again until you can connect it with the shack. Then read all the pages of the humans I give credit to for my... Read more

The Shack: Reflections for Every Day of the Year
The Shack: Reflections for Every Day of the Year

Review:I usually rate things higher; not really a middle of the road kind of person. And giving it a "it's okay" rating is simply because of my personal preferences in a Daily Reflection book. I loved the original book! Read it like 3 times! I was hoping this would go deeper into the spiritual side of what was behind all of this.

The book looks really nice on my coffee table! It's laid out nicely too. Read more
