The Muslim Jesus: Sayings and Stories in Islamic Literature

Harvard University Press, 2001

Proverbs & Gospels
This is an informative text and can only strengthen your knowledge of Jesus & Islam. There is little comment in the book and some passages will remain a mystery. There are several parallel stories to Gnostic texts in the text. It shows that Jew-Dao-Christian & Islam are so closely related. Well worth a read for a seeker of understanding & knowledge and some challenges to your view of Jesus ...

Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences

8 reviews
Lawrence Weschler

McSweeney's, 2007

Emergence through convergence
For its strange and compelling originality, I gave this book five stars. Author Lawrence Weschler's visual connections are unlike anything I have ever been exposed to. And it was because of this work, that when I was compiling photos for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, that I began to notice family photographic "echoes." A picture of my 1-year old brother in his stroller, mouth wide ...

Below the Convergence: Voyages Toward Antarctica 1699-1839

Alan Gurney

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998

Recommended for anyone with an Antarctic interest
For whatever reason, recent book reviewers try to relate any nautical book to Patrick O'Brien's fiction. This is akin to relating the taste of any strange mystery meat to the taste of chicken. There is absolutely no relationship between the present book and O'Brien's fiction. One can wonder if some reviewers actually read the books they review. Having said that - The book provides an ...

Three Days in Sedona: A Personal Harmonic Convergence

Alan Klevit

Stardust Pub, 1990

Once I started it, I finished it the same night.
My husband bought "Three Days" for me after we heard the author, Alan Klevit, speak before a group we belong to. The book was as engaging as the stories he told. As hard-to-believe events happened to him, the author managed to observe himself and how he reacted to situations, and he passed those observations on to us. That made the book as useful as it was exciting. A lot of his ...

Winning on Purpose: How to Organize Congregations to Succeed in Their Mission (Convergence Ebook Series)

6 reviews
John Edmund Kaiser

Abingdon Press, 2006

One of the Best Church Organizational Books I've Read
I now rank "Winning on Purpose" among the top 10 books on church organizational life that I've read. The foundational premise is that Christians are to make disciples of Jesus. The way a local church organizes for ministry can hinder or assist in that mission. Kaiser dares to suggest that pastors, church boards, and the membership of the church are to be accountable for the mission. ...

It's Alive : The Coming Convergence of Information, Biology, and Business

7 reviews
Christopher Meyer, Stan Davis

Texere Publishing, 2003

Packed with Knowledge!
Running a business these days feels like going on a blind date with the future. Most efforts to understand what lies ahead take on a rather breathless quality, lapsing into technobabble as they struggle to avoid the future's central truth: unknowability is its essence. Marshall McLuhan once observed that anticipating the future is like steering an automobile by looking into your rearview mirror. ...

Alan Gurney

Trafalgar Square, 1998

A wonderfully written summary of early Antarctic exploration
Gurney's book summarizes efforts to explore the cold Southern Ocean to about 1840, by both government-sponsored expeditions (such as James Cook) and sealers and whalers. The prose is terrific, the amount of detail just right (no long repetitive accounts of battles with ice), there are many fascinating details, and there is great background. He starts with the ancients and the development of the ...

Contraction & Convergence: The Global Solution to Climate Change (Schumacher Briefings, 5)

4 reviews
Aubrey Meyer

Green Books, 2001

Could this book hold the solution to climate change?
There is little doubt now - even amongst mainstream political and scientific circles - that climate change poses humankind's greatest ever challenge. "I am not being alarmist," says Meyer. "[But in] the worst case scenario, the survival of all but a tiny minority of the human race comes into question." This is not simply because of the increasing amounts of CO2, methane and other greenhouse ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1997

Sailing over a cetacean kingdom
The subject-matter may seem a narrow historical theme but the great joy of this book is how well it relates to wider concerns and themes. It is superbly written (as well as being an excellent example of a well-produced book, with apposite text illustrations, maps and a good index). The passage on pp 59 to 61 of the ecology of the Southern Ocean gives a succinct and witty account of the ...

Brett Johnson's important new work helps the inquiring reader make sense of their personal history and discover a refined understanding of personal purpose.

Great Text!
I used this book for an English 101 class during my freshman year of college. This book inspired a composition class that I enjoyed thoroughly. Never had I had so much fun writing and analyzing before in a class. I would strongly recommend this text for any teachers/professors searching.
