Freedom's Battle: The Origins of Humanitarian Intervention 1 review
Gary J. Bass
Knopf, 2008
Regarding the Suffering of Others
Humanitarian intervention was a term often heard during the 1990s. In the decade following the end of the Cold War military intervention in sovereign states to prevent ethnic cleansing and other kinds of mass murder came at a lower price. Liberal internationalists could excercise their collective conscience more freely as the Soviet Union was disintegrating. American and Nato intervention in ...

Young to Old
I read Every Young Man's Battle and I wanted to get a deeper perspective, so I read this book. I must say it is a deeper perspective and has an interesting way of showing how bad sexual behavior affects everyone around you.

Every Woman's Battle: Discovering God's Plan for Sexual and Emotional Fulfillment 32 reviews
Shannon Ethridge
WaterBrook Press, 2003
Buy It-Read It-Practice It
My pastor recommended this book after my own fall from grace and it has been eye opening (or closing). This book gives you the tools to curb your sexual appetite that is fed by your eyes. You look at a beautiful woman (God's creation) and notice her breasts, or any other part of her anatomy, so you stare and process this image with your eyes, then send it to your brain to remember her in your ...

Rick Riordan
Hyperion Book CH, 2008
My son can't wait until book 5
Four books down and one to go :-( (Mr. Riordan, PLEASE consider writing more books in the series!!!)
This series has captured my son's interest and imagination unlike any other fiction series with the exception of the Magic Treehouse books. He is an 11-year old and despite being considered AG in reading skills, he would rather eat liver than read novels. My son's fifth grade teacher got him ...

The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism26 reviews
John C. Bogle
Yale University Press, 2006
Nobel Prize Material--Final Review
This book is a work of genius and integrity, with the potential to catalyze Wall Street into fulfilling the promise of moral capitalism and community ownership.
Here are some highlights from my flyleaf notes:
+ America is no longer an ownership society--financial intermediaries "own" everyting and the individual owners are passive
+ We can find the wisdom and will to restore moral ...

MacArthur John
Thomas Nelson, 2005
Great book--VERY misleading reviews
Read this book. It is very well written and systematic. You will not be disappointed.
I will comment on the illogical misstatements of one of the reviewers to show the absurdity of their highly negative review.
REVIEWER STATES:
Thirdly, MacArthur is fundamentally ignorant on matters of general history. On page 16 he says: "The moral catastrophe that has disfigured modern western society ...

The Battle for God125 reviews
Karen Armstrong
Ballantine Books, 2001
A compelling and necessary read
This book is a fascinating and surprisingly readable history of emergent fundamentalism in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Armstrong traces monotheistic fundamentalism through the 20th century, and details the economic, social, and political circumstances that motivated its leaders, sustained it through generations, and sometimes lead its followers to violence.
The latter point is why this ...

Every Young Man's Battle Workbook: Practical Help in the Fight for Sexual Purity (Everyman: Sexual Integrity) 4 reviews
Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker
WaterBrook Press, 2003
Getting the discussion going
Young men seeking godly character will benefit from reading this book. Those without a foundation in discipleship will not. I appreciate the authors tackling a topic that the church MUST tackle. I did not come to the same conclusions as the reviewer who saw it as labeling all sex as evil.

Every Young Woman's Battle
This book is very relevant and current for teens. It is direct and accurate according to the Bible It is sometimes over the top and needs to take into account the reality of living in the real world, but I like that it puts the high standard out there.

If a boy about the age of 10 read the original novel, he would have soiled himself, had nightmares until he was 20, and then some!!!!
Battle Royale is set in Tokyo (In the novel it is referred as the Republic of Greater East Asia) where ninth grade students are randomly chosen to fight each other to the death on a deserted island. The students are provided weapons (guns, knives etc.) to ...

Preparing Your Son for Every Man's Battle: Honest Conversations About Sexual Integrity (The Every Man Series)7 reviews
Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, ...
WaterBrook Press, 2003
Help your son stay pure
This is a great book for many reasons. First off, it makes the point very clearly that a father's relationship with his sons is vitally important during the "second half of the game," the years starting with pre-adolescence. Not only are too many of us are caught up in difficult work schedules, but it gets more difficult. No longer is he that little boy who worships the ground you walk on. It's ...
