The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effect of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New ... 36 reviews
Bart D. Ehrman
Oxford University Press, USA, 1996
Brilliant work
This book is brilliant work. One thing I disagree with with Dr, Ehrman is in regards to something he writes in the introduction. He recommends that those who are not specialists in the text or interpretation of the New Testament should read the introductory and concluding section of each chapter. ...

Pocket full of spiritual first aid
+ 1500 Ways to stay focused on your center
No other book I have ever read is as POWERFUL as 1500 Ways... I can sit down and invest 15 minutes in this book and by then I am knee deep in spiritual quicksand. That is to say, it fills me with the feeling of spiritual beingness that is rich deep and oh! so REAL you can cut it with a knife. I ...

The Simplest Path to Personal and Planetary Awakening Step One:: FREE YOUR MIND7 reviews
Jr., Vincent Casspriano
LULU, 2007
A Unique and Inspiring Wake-up Call
+ Loving this book!
+ Way Beyond "Socrates Revisited"
This is one of the most clear-headed books I've read in years on the subject of real, nitty gritty, get your hands dirty spiritual development (as opposed to the fru fru New Age variety). So much of what passes for "spirituality" in our time amounts to some author, celebrity, priest, philosopher ...

Lost Scriptures: Books that Did Not Make It into the New Testament 47 reviews
Bart D. Ehrman
Oxford University Press, USA, 2005
Surprizing Revelations of Early Interpretations of Jesus
+ Important book for Christians to read
I was surprised to learn of the variety of interpretations of Jesus and his teachings that were found in Middle Eastern scrolls buried for nearly two thousand years. This is a very scholarly but easily understood compilation of many books that were excluded for a variety of reasons from the New ...

God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question--Why We Suffer156 reviews
Bart D. Ehrman
HarperOne, 2008
Heartfelt book, although it won't convince theist anyway...
The book is more of Earman's own personal essay. Interestingly, Erhman loses his faith over the matter that could be easily dismissed by other Christians. Maybe Dr. Ehrman's detail-oriented personality couldn't stand the God's nature reflected on real world situations. The problem with the book is ...

The Mystic Masters Speak: A Treasury of Cosmic Wisdom8 reviews
Vernon Linwood Howard
New Life Foundation, 1988
The "golden thread" that runs through all great teachings...
+ wisdom, patience, and overcome
+ Celestial Wisdom at your fingertips!
Because of the title I almost bypassed this remarkable book. After all of these years you would think that I would have learned not to judge a book by either it's title or it's cover. I am glad that I looked inside, for this book represents one of the best expositions of the "golden thread" that ...

With the Catholic Church, Judiasm and the various Protestant denominations standing in the way of the Gay Agenda, the Abortion and Eugenics crusade and the resurrection of the mighty Communist socialist advance upon the false concepts of so-called human freedom and so-called morality, it is VITALLY ...

Cosmic Command1 review
Vernon Howard
New Life Foundation, 1979
Sanity in short sentences
Cosmic Command is a strange title, but it captures what Vernon Howard taught, ie., that above our usual, learned thinking is a part of us that "knows," that is not caught in the mire of tension, appearances or egotism. I have read many of Howard's books, and "The Power of Your Supermind" is a good ...

This is a really nice, straight-to-the-point breakdown of what memes are, how they are used, how they affect you, and how to use them. I've been experimenting with trance states, meditation, nlp, and classical hypnosis for a few years and this short book has done more for me than anything else I've ...

This is the first Vernon Howard book I read and as I was first glancing at it at the store I realized it had answers I had been looking for for a long time and I just had to buy it. The book contains short, paragraph - long stories that illustrate a point of wisdom. As one story points out - "If we ...

Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books, 2008
Thank God someone finally said what I've been thinking my whole life (irony intended)
+ Best Book to broaden your perspective!
+ One of the best Books in the subject Out There!!
As a person who came from a crazy background as a child-paternal side no religion (but not atheist) and maternal side-southern Baptist, I can tell you that I couldn't agree more with Dawkins. I tried on various religions as a youth but found them limiting and not logical. I choose to study Zoology ...
