Review:I'd love to say this book is a good one but I can't because the illustrations overwrite the text. Whoever formatted this for ebook didn't bother to read their own work. I'll muddle through. Publishers like this are either lazy, uninformed or greedy. Read more

Review:I enjoy reading my daily passage to get my thoughts aligned for the day. Helpful to digest in small paragraphs and stories. Recently purchased my coin and will read while holding it to create a memory. Read more

Review:One star is for the one quote in the book that for me was enlightening and memorable:

"It's the most basic, essential, beginning stories that so much of our lives are written. Who loved you best? What made you finally believe in yourself? From what garden or pot or crack in the pavement did you grow? How did you get your water?"

For me the answer to all these questions was from the unconditional and steadfast love of my mother and grandmother and my Faith. Read more

Review:Ben Sasse argues convincingly that we are doing our kids a disservice when we ‘protect’ them from work. Sasse provides parents with practical advice to help make the shift from consumption to production—a great way to help our kids find lives filled with meaning and purpose.

While I wish I had read this book when my daughters were in pre-school, I'm still able to get some ideas for parenting my almost-adult teens. Read more

Review:Don't judge this book by its title. This isn't a book attempting to prove or disprove anything like the title seems to say, and it also doesn't offer practical life advice like the subtitle would lead you to believe. I think Schaeffer's goal with the title was to highlight the paradoxical nature of life at large and many of his own beliefs, which I don't think the title successfully communicates (but maybe that's just me).

This is less a book about atheism or theism and more about the mes... Read more

Review:(Some notes after six chapters...I've since finished the book on Feb. 15)

>>The Good...
I think that Barker's 9-page opening remarks were damn near perfect, every word, every letter. Good stuff.

The book is broken down into quite a few chapters (such as Unforgiving, Homophobic, & Bloodthirsty ), each featuring some unpleasant aspect of God and/or his followers (such as requesting God's bloody wrath upon their enemies).

>>The Bad...
Don't read before be... Read more

Review:If you honestly think that faith is "pretending to know things you don't know", then you are dangerously naive and not just when it comes to religion. For example, Dawkins has said in his great, new book that he was abused when he was younger. I have faith that Dawkins is telling the truth even though his statement is not falsifiable due to the passage of time and there is no hard evidence to support his statement. My conviction that he is telling the truth is based upon my judgment of the man a... Read more

Review:I would recommend tis book to anyone who is thinking about what nature teaches us about the existence of God. De Waal is an atheist who is much less strident than some, who is also a good story teller. This makes him an easier read for people on the fence (I think) He does not hurl insults at the faithful but is gentlemanly in his tone. His books are also are full of information on our closest ape relatives including excellent anecdotes to illustrate his scientific findings. An enjoyable read in... Read more

Review:I read this book when it first came out in the 70s. I was impressed then and was impressed again when I read it this time. No complaints there.

This is a book written by a psychotherapist for psychotherapists and patients of psychotherapy. I am neither, but there are good thoughts and things of great worth to me between these covers.

The book itself, though newly printed and bound, was rather cheaply put-together. I am careful with my books, but several pages just fell out of this ... Read more

Review:El libro da mucho que pensar y te hace cuestionar las cosas que realmente son importantes en la vida, ademas de relativizar las ansias de poseer cosas materiales que aveces hemos sentido. Tambien es práctico y interesante. Lo recomiendo. Read more
