The Superior Person's Field Guide to Deceitful, Deceptive and Downright Dangerous Language

Not meant solely to amuse the reader
Unlike the previous three books in this David R. Godine series, The Superior Person's Field Guide to Deceitful, Deceptive & Downright Dangerous Language is not meant solely to amuse the reader. In today's modern era when words are carefully chosen to soften the severity of what they represent, such as "extraordinary rendition" for flying prisoners to faraway countries where they can be tortured, ...
Ring of Liberation: Deceptive Discourse in Brazilian Capoeira
6 reviews
J. Lowell Lewis
University Of Chicago Press
, 1992
Capoeira at the border to Brazil.
Yes, I think this book deserves five stars, because it gave me insight; both professional and personal. Training Capoeira for seven years (including two trips to Brazil for the same reason) has taken me to the strange border between two cultures: my own Danish average European socio-historic background, and the Afro-brazilian transcultural vegetation in which Capoeira flourishes. Alouring - ...

Great for understanding some trends blowing through the church today
If you have attempted to read through books like the series David Wells wrote (No Place for Truth, God in the Wasteland, Losing Our Virtue, and Above All Earthly Pow'rs), but found them cumbersome and difficult, a shorter and easier-to-read option is Gary Gilley's two works This Little Church Went to Market and This Little Church Stayed Home. The second of these two is what this reviewer has ...
Finding God's Will in Spiritually Deceptive Times (The Bondage Breaker Series)
Neil, T. Anderson
Harvest House Publishers
, 2003
Who has authority to speak for God? Does His message come through other people, through Scripture, or both? According to Neil Anderson, answers to these common questions must be based on two powerful truths: We are alive in Christ, and we are God's children. He examines * the danger of counterfeit messages * the roles of Scripture, the Spirit, and other believers * ways to guard against Satan's deceptions * the freedom that can ...

For a family in crisis, this is a must read!
I'm sure all parents can relate-one of the most trying times in life is when your child hits the teenage years. An era where you go from "hero" to "zero" since your precious bundle has discovered there is more to life than you, your ideals, or your family. These are commonplace experiences that make instant fodder for sermon illustrations and late-night comedy episodes. A commensurate increase in ...

Deceptive Intentions
Again M.L. Malcom brings us another wonderful book. I couldn't believe how fast I read this book. The way she brings historical events into her work is great. Besides enjoying the enjoying the book I leaned so much. If it has been awhile since you read Silent Lies, don't worry. M.L. brings back that book wonderfully so you rememeber everything as you read about Maddy and Leo. This is a great ...

Un Spun- Finding Facts
I loved the Book! Great information for someone that wants to learn the political system. Since there is so much propaganda out there, this was a great book to understanding some of it. Short and to the point...not a big book...but long on fact finding.

, 2006
Book Challenges Churches
The book, Deceptive Diagnosis: When Sin is Called Sickness, explores the major shift in how Christian evangelicals view and deal with sin. The authors, Dr. David Tyler and Dr. Kurt Grady, believe that the Church stopped calling sinful and deviant behavior "sin," and started calling it "sickness" beginning in the mid 1960's. The sexual sinner Apostle Paul wrote about became the sex addict. The ...
The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media: Decoding Spin and Lies in Mainstream News
11 reviews
Norman Solomon
Common Courage Press
, 2002
Highly Recommended
As depicted on the cover illustration, Norman Solomon brilliantly shows us how the mass media behaves like submissive monkeys, well-trained by corporate power. The book effectively urges us to be concerned with the consequences of this behavior, particularly with the human rights abuses it fosters.

Absolutely Fascinating!
In "Storm Warning," Billy Graham examines the events of today and compares and contrasts them to the Biblical Book of Revelations. If you are someone who is intrigued by the events described in the Book of Revelations, then you will absolutely LOVE this book. I strongly recommend it!

Great Fun Mystery Writing
I stumbled on Aaron Elkins awhile ago, and I promptly went out and bought all of his Gideon Oliver books. When Gideon was finished, I started his Chris N. books - and feel even deeper in love. Elkins truly knows how to write about art, and if you love art and art history the way I do, you'll abosultely love his book dealing with art fraud and the like. Few people can actually deal with ...

Arm yourself with math
The Two-Headed Quarter opened my eyes to deceptive practices that should have been so clear. The book will help you avoid the mistakes so many of us made throughout our financial lives. Why, for example, do real estate agents take you to houses that are outside your specified range? Were they listening? The answer is, "yes, they were." They also know that you will compare all other house ...
