Christian contradictions and the world revolution: Letters to my son

2 reviews
Andre Kehoe

Glendale, 1991

Shocking - will challenge your comfortable world views
When I read this book 10 years ago I was stunned. Only in the last couple of years it seems have even the BBC started to discuss issues such as East Timor, the World Bank etc in a realistic manner. If you you feel that your world is the 'civilised', 'good', 'honorable', 'tolerant', 'fair' world... then read this; especially 'The Escalating Arms Race' chapter. It will shock and probably disgust ...

See of St. Mark: Chrisological Journey in time and space
Christ in Christian Tradition: Since Adolph von Harnack's great work on History of the Dogma, there is no parallel for this ever-growing and most established reference in Chrisological history and development of Doctrine of the Person of Christ.

Lawrence J. Spiegel

Authorhouse, 2004

Excellent Resource For Entrepreneurs
I really enjoyed Detours and Contradictions. I found the conversational tone of the book very engaging and appreciated all the concrete and useful ideas the chapters provided. The interviews from successful entrepreneurs in the field also lent an immediacy to the book that many business books lack-I was able to hear from real people how they made their business a success, from start to finish. ...

Contradictions

2 reviews
Alfred Corn

Copper Canyon Press, 2002

uncommon tapestry
To a common reader, like myself, "Contradictions" may at first seem more than you can bear, the lines are so finely spun and the whole cloth blinds in its shimmering (and shifting) vision. As the book's title suggests, life and art never present a single, clear set of directions. But if you open this book and read the poems one by one, looking up unfamiliar words as the poet intended, letting ...

Aporias (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics)

6 reviews
Jacques Derrida

Stanford University Press, 1993

Death as aporia, as wonderment
Is "death" a limit? For Derrida "death" is that which `involves a certain step / not ... pace' (il y va d'un certain pas) (p. 6). It is not a telos or a terma, a limit beyond which there is none, but rather a `step', a peras, a passage one traverses by penetrating. At the same time, it is the moment of a `not', of an impossibility. What is more, it is certain that one reaches this step as ...

The Contradiction is Awesome!!!
This is a fantastic book! I read it in one sitting and kept biting my fingernails anticipating what was coming next. I can't wait to see what's next from this writer.

Paradoxical Thinking: How to Profit from Your Contradictions

4 reviews
Jerry L Fletcher, Kelle Olwyler

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 1997

Managing your personal paradox
When I heard about this book, I did not quite know what to expect. Reading things like 'How to profit from your contradictions' and 'bringing together the paradoxical sides of yourself to achieve outstanding results', I feared it might turn out to be kind of vague and superficial. But I decided to give the book the benefit of the doubt, because I quite liked Jerry Fletcher's previous book ...

First Rate Brilliance
As a political science major at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and also a frequent student of Dr. El-Kikhia, having read this book I can say that it is absolutely essential to an understanding of Libya's past and present political course and journey. Dr. El-Kikhia's unique perspective and special knowledge presents both the average reader and political science student with a powerful ...

Praeger Publishers, 2001

Excellent Book for Undergraduate Classes
This is a first-rate ethnography of a little known but important community: forward-deployed American solidiers, stationed in Germany at the height of the Cold War. Hawkins mixes profound structural analysis with intimate conversational portraits, to paint a picture of a military community torn between the competing demands of army life and family responsibilities. I used the text in a large ...

Tommy Hellsten

Celestial Arts, 2008

An Accessible, Wise, Moving Read
I am not often drawn to spirituality/self-help books, so I was surprised and impressed that this book captivated me as it did. Its thoughtful, gentle message should be inspiring and enlightening for anyone who is working through a difficult time. Or for anyone who is looking for wisdom and encouragement to fulfill their life's true potential. Hellsten's voice is engaging and humble, honest and ...

Harold Prince

Dodd, Mead, 1974

Wonderful reading
Excellent overview by Prince of his unique theatrical career from the 1950s to Broadway of the early 1970s, this account ends with his Production of Candide (when this book was published.) Prince gives an opinionated chapter to each production he directed. A great read.

Alan Wallach

University of Massachusetts Press, 1998

Wonderful essays by a first-rate scholar
"Exhibiting Contradictions" is a terrific collection. It may well be unique in its field, moreover, for containing NO academic jargon. No sites are contested, no subject positions are occupied. Amazing! The clear writing makes it an excellent book both for specialists and for those with a general interest in art and art history, the changing role of museums, and the quote-unquote politicization ...

Magnificent
This is an execellent recording of Archbishop Sheen's historic Good Friday talk. This is a remarkable Lenten reflection for Good Friday.

Nicole Bradley

1st Books Library, 2003

A great book for a quiet night.
This book is a great book. I stayed up past my bedtime reading this book, because I bonded with the characters and could not stop wondering what was going on with them. Nicole Bradley's characters jump off the page and become real for the reader. The reader begins to identify with them. When I would put the book down, I found myself wondering " What's going on with my girl, Aris?" There were ...

Are There Contradictions in the Bible? (Muncaster, Ralph O. Examine the Evidence Series.)

1 review
Ralph O. Muncaster

Harvest House Publishers, 2002

For Belivers and Skeptics Alike
For the believer it helps you deal with the questions that the skeptics will ask. For the skeptics, it answers your questions. Yes, there are things in the Bible that on the surface appear to be contradictory. But when placed in the correct context, these things make perfect sense. It's a short book (I read it in just over an hour). It gives you just the bare basics to answer some of the ...
