Wow
Amazing book. A must read for any Christian who has felt closeted by the cultures depiction of Christians as violent, intolerant, elitists. For those of us who know there is another way to be a Christian that includes living nonviolence in all areas of our lives and really taking seriously Christ's tendency to hang with the poor and outcasts in our society. Makes the reader question their ...

Every Christian should read this
Shane Claiborne shares the Gospel as it was meant to be and makes truly following Christ (and not our corrupt society) desirable. He clearly separates what "Christianity" has become from what Christ and the early church fathers intended. Every person that calls themselves Christian should read this book and let it change their lives.

Are you a Fred?

I enjoyed reading the book and it urged me to improve the way I interact with people I encounter every day. I especially recommend the book to anyone ...

Perfect??!!
What do you get someone that has everything and can get anything? This book. I got it for my sister who buys whatever she wants (within reason of course) and so when she got this book for xmas last year, she couldnt put it down. This year I am following it up with the book's sequel and I know she'll love it! I know some reviews were disappointed because the book was mostly just ones from the ...

Happy Homeschooling Mom
After recently reading The Well-Trained Mind, I immediately checked this book out from the library which was suggested for teaching your child to read. Once reviewing the book I ordered it from Amazon. I am homeschooling my 5 year old son. I am a certified teacher, but at times feel inadequate about teaching my own child. This book provides a strong, systematic phonics approach to teaching ...

The Uncommon Woman making an ordinary life extraordinary
Its hard to put into words how changed I was by Susie Larsons' book. I was challenged and immediately motivated in my walk with the Lord. She draws wonderful pictures to illustrate truths that I have read in my own Bible reading, but never quite grasped them the way that she did, provoking me to new depths with my Savior. She also hits the nail on the head about women and their relationships ...

great party game for geeks (and aspiring geeks)
I've never played Dungeons & Dragons (which this game is a satire on), but I am a huge fan of board games and card games. Munchkin is a great game for 3 or more people who don't mind being geeks for a few hours. The game combines a heavy dose of D&D satire, witty puns, pop culture, and mild adult humor. The object of the game is to outfit your character with an arsenal of unusual weapons, ...

Happiness Is...
I am often referred to at my church as the irreverent reverend. I say things that shock people. Things like "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is he who just comes..." Most people laugh. Maybe it's out of nervousness, I don't know, but I really, really, really think that God has just an incredible sense of humor and I really, really, really think that anyone who does "God's ...

Christopher R. Browning
Harper Perennial

Not for the faint of heart, or the weak of stomach!
This book (as described by previous reviewers and the product description) details what the men in the Nazi Reserve Police Battalion 101 went through, specifically during the SS Invasion of Poland. Browning describes in detail the process of dehumanizing the Jews, and writes at length on the style of execution that the Germans refined and perfected in Poland, prior to the widespread use of gas ...

Down to Earth and Practical Wisdom
I first got introduced to Dan Millman when a friend gave me "Way Of The Peaceful Warrior" as a birthday gift. I loved the book and the teachings contained within it. In fact I recently re-read it after seeing the movie "Peaceful Warrior" and thought it was as great as the first time. From a practical standpoint though, it can be difficult to use that book as a guidebook for one's life and ...
