The foundation for the study is the comparison of the "seven deadly sins" and how they contrast with the moral principles laid out within the "Sermon on the Mount" from the New Testament. While this study may not be unique, the presentation is so well done that the result ...             God in the Dark: The Assurance of Faith Beyond a Shadow of Doubt7 reviews Os Guinness Crossway Books, 1996 Reassurance for those willing to examine their beliefs Mr. Guinness examines faith and doubt rigorously by tracing their presuppositions, carefully explaining the indissoluble bond between faith and rationality. Faith can and will lead us beyond reason, but never against reason into absurdity. The God who created our capacity for reason is beyond our reason but never at odds with it. Although the majority of the book probes the nature of doubt ...             Invitation to the Classics (Masterworks)7 reviews Baker Books, 1998 For readers of all faiths This is a wonderful overview of classic Western literature from a Christian perspective. With a wide scope and a clarity of expression, there is likely something that any reader can enjoy and understand within these pages. More significant than any of this, however, is that the book has something that far too many "contemporary Christian" books do not have: fundamental fairness. When dealing with ...             Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul: Stories About Pets as Teachers, Healers, Heroes and Friends (Chicken ...90 reviews Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, ... HCI, 1998 Warm and fuzzy Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier ...             The Guinness Book of Me: A Memoir of Record5 reviews Steven Church Simon & Schuster, 2005 Read it! I read this book in just two sittings, it would have been only one, but I have 2 small children. I pick it back up and re-read sections again and again. Steven Church is a fabulous writer.

I love to cook, and for years my little boy has wanted to help me out in the kitchen. Unfortunately, most of my recipes exist only in my brain so it was very hard for him to lend a hand. This book, which I purchased only hoping to find one or two recipes we'd like, has turned him into an independent little chef in his own right. The instructions are very well-written, the safety precautions ...             A Positively Final Appearance10 reviews Alec Guinness Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001 A Positively Marvelous Book Alec Guinness is undeniably one of the most gifted actors of our times, and now, with his offering of "A Positively Final Appearance," we get to know something of the man behind the mask.

Unlike so many actors, Alec Guinness is a truly modest man, and his wry humor and ability to laugh at himself are extraordinarily refreshing. Guinness is worth reading even if you've never seen one of his movies or plays or television appearances. It is a damn shame that this ...             Creating a Family Garden4 reviews Bunny Guinness Abbeville Press, 1996 Spectacularly beautiful gardens, very complete with how-to's Gorgeous family gardens, not for children only.

"My Father's Island" is absolutely delightful. The book includes a very amusing view of cultural differences as seen by young Johanna; first between America and Quito, Ecuador and then between civilized Quito and the rugged pioneer lifestyle required just a few decades ago in the Galapagos. The flora and fauna of the islands are more accurately named and described here than in the book ...             The Fontana History of the Mathematical Sciences: The Rainbow of Mathematics (Fontana History of Science)3 reviews I.
