Pierced by the Word: Thirty-One Meditations for Your Soul

6 reviews
John Piper

Multnomah Books, 2003

Food for the soul
John Piper is a deep thinker and deeply in love with God. Combined together, his writings are always solid food for the Christian seeking ways to draw closer to God. As a devotional, this work dishes out pastoral thoughts in bite-sized form. But though each day's reading is about 2-3 pages long, trust me, you'd want to mull over and meditate over it, as it is "solid meat''. You'd read here deep ...

When Light Pierced the Darkness: Christian Rescue of Jews in Nazi-Occupied Poland

4 reviews
Nechama Tec

Oxford University Press, USA, 1987

Truly remarkable book
If you want to discover the the true humanity that lies hidden through all classes of society then this book is the one to read. It views the holocaust from the noble within humanity and helps one to think about what their own responses would be in a similar circumstance. Besides this, the writer is very skilled and a pleasure to read.

Mildred Pierced: A Toby Peters Mystery

Stuart M. Kaminsky

Carroll & Graf, 2003

Worth a read
I've read all of the Toby Peters books and this is a typically solid entry - it's got interesting characters and a decent plot. Kaminsky obviously has respect for Joan Crawford, which makes her a solid character. And the eulogy delivered by Sheldon Minck may be the funniest thing Kaminsky has ever written.

Search Press, 2008

Handmade paper pierced cards
I didn't feel there was enough detail on how to actually do the projects. It lacked patterns like some of the other books I have used.

Pierced: A Zits Close-Up

7 reviews
Jim Borgman, Jerry Scott

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008

Disappointing - collection of know strips
If you thing that you'll get new strips with this book - forget it. This is not Sketchbook #13 and the product description is misleading. The book contains a collection of old and known ZITS strips which feature Pierce - but as they are ripped from the whole story they loose part of their appeal. Some new strips at the very end - but not enought to justify a purchase. Buy the sketchbooks ...

Pierced for Our Transgressions: Rediscovering the Glory of Penal Substitution

8 reviews
Michael Ovey, Andrew Sach, ...

Crossway Books, 2007

A Line in the Sand
The doctrine of penal substitution doesn't, on the face of it, sound too glorious. It is a doctrine involving curse, punishment, blood and death. It is little wonder that people object to it so strenuously. Indeed, this teaching has been at the very center of a rift within the church--a rift that seems to be growing ever-wider and ever more visible. Once the realm of scholars cloistered away in ...

Pierced by a Ray of Sun: Poems About the Times We Feel Alone

1 review
Ruth Gordon

HarperCollins Publishers, 1995

Interesting
As it happens, I was indeed alone as I read the poems in this book. A mixed bag, indeed. However, in the final analysis, there are a handful of astonishing pieces and not a true clinker in the bunch.

Behold the Pierced One

1 review
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

Ignatius Press, 1987

Blew My Mind
I took this book on retreat with me and it blew my mind. My perspective on my faith increased many fold. However, this book is not for everyone. This is not a light, warm and fuzzy spiritually book. This is a book for scholars. Cardinal Ratzinger goes into some deep theology, but if you can hang in there with him, you'll get a much greater understanding of concepts such as original sin, ...

Pierced By A Sword

65 reviews
Bud MacFarlane Jr.

Saint Jude Media, 1995

Great, Inspiring Book
Maybe it's because my husband shares his name with one of the main characters. Or, maybe it's because the book is inspiring. Whatever the reason, I really liked it. I couldn't wait to read more each night. Normally, I don't have time to read. However, I MADE time for this book. The book is available for free from Catholicity.com. So, there's no need to pay for it. The author wanted the ...

Into Perfect Spheres Such Holes Are Pierced

3 reviews
Catherine Barnett

Alice James Books, 2004

Took the top of my head off
This is simply one of the most beautiful books of poetry I've read in a very long time. Its subject matter, the death of two young girls in a plane crash, would render almost anyone mute, yet Barnett has found a way to speak of the ineffable here, and to make something beautiful out of despair. The style is appropriately, exquisitely restrained, and yet there is a poignancy in the deep silences ...

J.R. Church

Prophecy Publications, 2003

Pierced Heart (Over the Edge)
Robin D. Laws

Atlas Games, 1996

A lost soul in search of the answer to a question no one else dares ask. An honorable gangster intent on keeping his promises, even if it kills him. A psychopathic criminal with an eye on the bottom line and a hand wrapped around the hilt of a stiletto. A New Age con man capable of charming anyone -- except the man he sees in the mirror every morning. A funeral director who isn't quite the same species as the rest of us. An angry man who ...

The Spear of Destiny: The Occult Power Behind the Spear Which Pierced the Side of Christ

Trevor Ravenscroft

G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1973

The Spear Which Pierced Jesus of Nazareth on the Cross
From Prologue: "In the final chapters of the Gospel of Saint John it is told how a soldier pierced the side of Christ with a Spear. The name of this soldier was Gaius Cassius and he attended the crucifixion as the official Roman representative for the Pro-Consul, Pontius Pilate. Cataracts in both eyes prevented this veteran officer from battle service with his Legion and instead he reported ...
