Theology
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:Dr. Pitre has gone beyond what would be considered excellent scholarly work. In the process, he deposes many modern scholars and unseats their theories in setting the record straight on the historicity and reliability of the gospels and the biographical data we can draw from them about Jesus. It is not unlike uncovering evidence in great detective investigative research but also mixed with fresh new scholarship to meet the challenges that skeptics have thrown into biblical scholarship for decade...

Review:I was an evangelical Christian from age 15 to age 30. Just this year, my views and beliefs have been drastically changing, and though I've chosen to not label myself any longer, I would fit into the Deist category quite well. A Deist is essentially what Thomas Jefferson, and several of the most famous founders of the US, were (not Theists, as fundamentalist Christians would have everyone believe).

Review:I love this book. It is extremely informative, revolutionizing, and thought-provoking. You will never look at the human body the same way again. After reading this incredible book, you will start to see how alien the human body really is. Read more
Review:This book answered all my questions in an easy-to-relate to way, and I now have the information and inspiration to move forward with my conversion. The perfect book for those who keep being drawn to a faith they have been misled about before. Thank you! Read more
Review:All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love by John Eldredge reminds the reader of an often forgotten, yet essential, part of Christianity - the restoration and renewal of earth. As Eldredge puts it on page 16, "the thing you are made for is the renewal of all things. God has given you a heart for his kingdom - not the wispy vagaries of a cloudy heaven, but the sharp reality of the world made new."
Jesus speaks often in the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Knowi... Read more
Review:After two readings, this book will sit on my nightstand for a third. Martin's approach is simple - which is not to say easy. It is a wonderful meditation, and I expect that I will continue to get something new and inspiring from every re-reading. Meanwhile, the book has given me a whole new reading list of books on a variety of related subjects including Mertin, Nouwen and others. Read more
Review:Scott Hahn's ability to explain the scriptures provides a learning experience that brings such clear understanding to Biblical history. Great companion to the Genesis to Jesus bible study given at our parish. Read more
Review:Fabulous book. If Jesus were taught to us this way from the begining, we Christians would probably struggle less with our faith and could explain it better to others. Borg has a writing style that is accessible to every level of reader, academic and spiritual. Read more
