Review:This is an excellent read! I think what Greg Koukl has done here is give the believer a means of linking the essential pieces of Christianity together and at the same time provided unbelievers a launchpad for properly understanding Christianity. I believe Christianity is as misunderstood as it is imbedded in our culture. The Story of Reality is an important piece to the public dialogue between those of us who hold to the Christian worldview and those who are interested in understanding that worl... Read more
Review:This is a philosophy book, but its popularity is a fascinating study in psychology. You've gotta figure that because it's short, different, and boasts the word "sh-t" in its title that people are willing to give it a read. Once they do, I can't imagine many of them truly like it, but I think they're afraid that saying they don't like it will make them seem unsophisticated. I'm here to absolve you of any such feelings of inadequacy.
This "book" is a actually a philosophy paper - which is f... Read more
Review:Cory O'Brien strikes gold in this book. What you get once passing through the hilarious and cheeky table of contents is a collection of iconic myths, as told in a modern vernacular akin to posts you would find on websites such as Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook. These gods feel like average Joes, making their tales like episodes on a sitcom. It is a good read for those with a love for myths and a sense of humor to match. Read more
Review:Michael tells a great many tales. Each is full of historical "I didn't know" thats. I read it last year from the library and recently decided this was a book I had to add to my collection. I will share this with my family and friends. Read more
Review:Outstanding book that lays out the scientific case for intelligent design and a God who created the universe. I didn't realize the degree to which scientists had discounted Darwinism because it's unsubstantiated, but of course the liberals in the media and academia hate to admit that. Strobel interviews leading scientists in a variety of disciplines who provide irrefutable evidence that our existence is not an accident or that we are descended from pond scum. Looking forward to reading Strobe... Read more
Review:Great book! Lots of great information regarding the historical account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I recommend this book to everybody. It is a meaty book so you may need to read each chapter a few times and chew on it. Very very good book. Read more
Review:Barton rights the Jefferson legacy. A must read to get to the truth about the lies that have been told through the years in an attempt to change our perception of just who our third president really was. Jefferson was a genius and a great founding father. Read more
Review:Jesus, I'm sorry! I'm here complaining about people hurting my feeling when I reach out to them and my brothers and sisters in Christ are dying and being tortured for Your name LORD, again I'M SO SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Read more
Review:Karen Armstrong's Twelve Steps is rich in historical, philosophical, and religious context. The book is not only informative, but truly inspiring, and inviting to read. I would recommend this to anyone curious about how to foster compassion in our global community. Read more
Review:You can read the gushing praise in other reviews, so I'll only mention the major failing.
He advises staying with the dominant religious beliefs of your culture. That means accepting the idea of free will, which is critical to the justification for the prevalence of violence and torture under Judeo-Christian(JCM) rule. (Buddhism too has faults, although this one may be less significant; Communism we all know; of others I know nothing.) Free will means that anyone who does bad things mu... Read more
