It's Good Weather for Fudge: Conversing with Carson McCullers 1 review
Sue, Walker
NewSouth Books, 2007
Two great women Southern writers
Sue Walker's long book-length poem that consists of an imagined conversation with the late Carson McCullers where both women share their stories is a very original way to cover the subject matter: her own life, a tribute to a woman and a writer she admires, and just commenting on Southern life. Each of the "Conecuh Series" books is worth reading, all are fairly short in length, and this one is ...

Conversing With Angels and Ancients: Literary Myths of Medieval Ireland1 review
Joseph Falaky Nagy
Cornell University Press, 1997
Nagy's insights shine brightly over a sea of controversy
Today, scholars debate the question: what was the real source of the tales about pagan heroes and pre-Christian deities that Irish monks recorded in medieval times? Was the primary source the pre-Christian oral tradition with its Celtic culture and Indo-European roots? Or were the monastic scribes primarily influenced by the Latin sources they acquired from the Continent and Mideast, such as ...

Conversing with Cage2 reviews
Taylor & Francis, 2007
excellent book for those wanting to know about Cage's ideas
This book is a collection of interviews with John Cage, the late avant garde composer who was one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. The interviews span nearly a half century and give a cogent idea of Cage's thought on music, art, education, politics, and social revision. If you are curious about why a composer would write music that is "silent", why he would use chance, ...

Conversing with God in Scripture: A Contemporary Approach to Lectio Divina2 reviews
Stephen J. Binz
Word Among Us Press, 2008
Wonderful insight
We just started using this in our weekly Bible study and have only read chapters 1 and 2. However, we have used several other commentaries by Stephen Binz in the past and love his easy-to-understand writing style and insight. This book is no exception. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a more-personal approach to Scripture - either in individual or group study. Thank you, Stephen ...

Thank You for Asking: Conversing With Young Adults About the Future Church1 review
Herald Press, 2005
why do your stories count?
This book represents a good way to start conversations with young adults. It also helped me as a parent and pastor to see why the story telling of adults is so important. I am learning from young adults what matters to young adults, not just coming with what I think is needed. I would recommend it to all who minister to this age group. It is Mennonite, but would apply to other church groups as ...

Prayer, conversing with God4 reviews
Rosalind Rinker
Zondervan Books, 1968
Conversational Prayer
This has to be one of the best books ever written on prayer. Don't let the fact that it was written in the late '50s scare you. Rosalind Rinker wrote this book out of her own personal frustration with prayer groups and so-called prayer meetings. Our 21st century prayer groups can be just as unfulfilling as those she experienced half a century ago. If you really want to understand what she means ...

The Second Comforter: Conversing With the Lord Through the Veil12 reviews
Denver C., Jr. Snuffer
Booksurge Llc, 2008
An inspired book
My wife and I have an extensive LDS library at home. I can say without doubt that this is a must in any LDS library.
I have recently ordered another 3 copies for my older children. It is difficult to adequately express the talent of Denver Snuffer to phrase in the simplest terms, complex issues. I enjoyed every page and have enjoyed sharing its truths with friends and family.
He has opened ...

Conversing With the Planets: How Science and Myth Invented the Cosmos 3 reviews
Anthony F. Aveni
University Press of Colorado, 2002
A Genius In His Own Way
A brilliant book! Aveni draws you deep into history, researching a variety of cultures and their views on the planets and what they meant to the peoples of those ages. He does this not so much in the way of a history lesson, but with a passion for who those people were, and to show that they wern't so dumb or barbaric as they are so often labeled. Instead of doing what we modern humans do, ...

Jenna Catherine
Granite Publishing, 1998
WOW: Everyday expectations of timelessness living!!
This book is a wonderful practical day-to-day description of expectations of what the future my hold for all of us as we shift from a classical computing perspective of our brain/mind/self to a "super smart" modern quantum computing perspective of the same. Since trying to abstractly understand what it is like to be "in the now" or "outside time" is hard for most of us, this book shows us in ...

Speaking of Trust: Conversing With Luther About the Sermon on the Mount (Lutheran Voices) 1 review
Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2003
An Alternative to Boring Commentaries
A unique and helpful way to study the New Testament's Sermon on the Mount. If nothing else, it gives us Martin Luther's pastoral thoughts on the sermon in an engaging format. Those looking for a more technical analysis of the Sermon on the Mount will not find their time best sent in this work - although it is a great devotional read.

Con-Versing With God: Poetry for Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Direction (In-Versing Your Life)
Cynthia Blomquist Gustavson
Blooming Twig Books, 2006
"God will have compassion according to the abundance of steadfast love; for God does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone." Lamentations 3:32. "I find that people who are walking a spiritual path relate well to poetry and metaphor. A particular poem can be used as a starter for individual or group discussions. It can also be used to gently jump start an individual to write his/her own poetry, which can be very self-revelatory." From the ...
