Elizabeth Clare Prophet
Summit University Press, 2003
An Awesome Radio Show Transcript!

Prophet for Today: Contemporary Lessons of the Book of Yehoshua2 reviews
Steven Pruzansky
Gefen Publishing House, 2006
A Prophet for Today
A new, creative and dynamic approach to the study of the prophets. This work brings the book of Yehoshua to life, and demonstrates the obligation we have to draw lessons from the Bible in every sphere of life - including building the Jewish state.
I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in bible study and modern Israel.

Muslim Extremism in Egypt: The Prophet and Pharaoh, With a New Preface for 20035 reviews
Gilles Kepel
University of California Press, 2003
A clear and sensible description of the Muslim Brotherhood
This is without a doubt one of the best and most readable texts on the subject of the rise of Islamist movements in Egypt. It also works as a fitting sequel to Doanld Mitchell's groundbreaking volume - the only one of its kind ever translated into Arabic - on the Ikhwan al-Muslimin, the Muslim Brotherhood written almost two decades earlier.

Loren Grey

An excellent book about Adler's ideas.
This well written, comprehensive book affords the reader the opportunity to understand Adler's concepts and treatment approach. The author documents how Alfred Adler was ahead of his time in his psychological and philosophical ideas; and explains the reasons why Adler is not better known today. This book is interesting because Grey puts Adler into the framework of his time and ...

Have Faith Anyway: The Vision of Habakkuk for Our Times4 reviews
Kent Keith
Jossey-Bass, 2008
Have Faith Anyway
This is an extremely timely book. The world is indeed in trouble, but as Dr. Keith argues, we can have faith anyway. I found the chapter comparing faith and beliefs to be very helpful. The last chapter, with its conversation between a Christian and God, is truly inspiring.

Fire & Light: An Off-road Search for the Spirit of God5 reviews
Jon Robertson
Celestial Arts, 2006
Fire and Light Review
I found Jon Robertson's Fire and Light very comforting. It was familiar territory to me since I, too, have been searching for the spirit throughout my life. His research was so in depth and his many interviews served to heighten the sense of human unity. Some of Jon's conclusions felt like old friends; some were brilliantly new and obviously inspired by the Spirit. His style was journalistic ...

The Inclusive Hebrew Scriptures: Volume II: The Prophets1 review
Priests for Equality
AltaMira Press, 2004
Finally, a Translation Both Poetic & Scholarly
This final translation of the Inclusive Bible series by the Quixote Center's scriptural scholars is the best of the lot. Much has changed in the 17 years since the project began translating the bible, starting with accepted Christian midrash for the Inclusive New Testament. This fourth and final volume relies on Greek and Aramaic texts and places the canon in historic and cultural perspective. ...

Blueprint for a Prophet1 review
Carl Gibeily
DoubleDay, 1997
intriguing and compelling
An unusual novel which mixes science fiction with magical realism, within the context of middle eastern politics and sectarian strife. A compelling read which starts out a little slowly but quickly picks up the pace until you cannot put the book down. Carl Gibeily's style is elaborate, but very readable. He is erudite and manages to blend a variety of disciplines with expertise and ...

Isaiah in the Book of Mormon1 review
Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon St, 1997
Excellent analysis of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon
Isaiah is the most quoted Old Testament prophet in the Book of Mormon volume, and this tome does justice to the essential role Isaiah plays in the volume, with many essays dedicating to exegeting the Nephite midrash of Isaiah periocpe and whole chapters in the Book of Mormon text.
One of my favourite chapters deals with Isaiah 29 and its relation to the Book of Mormon. The chapter, cognently, ...

Nahum-Malachi (Interpretation, a Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching)1 review
Elizabeth Achtemeier
Westminster John Knox Press, 1986
A very good, middle-of-the-road exposition. . .
. . .of the second six Minor Prophets written specifically for the teacher or preacher. While not an in-depth scholarly commentary (and this is not the purpose of the series) major issues and questions concerning the reading and interpretation of these books is well-presented. I was impressed with "Hosea-Micah" -- and was even more impressed with "Nahum-Malachi". Dr. Achtemeier should be ...
