Disarming the Darkness: A Guide to Spiritual Warfare 2 reviews
Calvin Miller
Zondervan, 1998
Balanced presentation that leads to liberty
This book, like many of Miller's works, blends imagination and 'humanness' with the wonderfully liberating foundation of the Word. There are so many off-the-wall presentations dealing with the influence of evil in our lives, this book is a joy to experience. Without underestimating the power and presence of the Evil One in the world, Miller clearly puts the proper perspective on the ...

Disarming Strangers 2 reviews
Leon V. Sigal
Princeton University Press, 1999
Track 2 and Cooperation are good for nuclear starangers
Bias on the part of American policy-makers affected U.S. nuclear diplomacy toward North Korea. If the U.S. would not have maintained such a bias, negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea would not have been as difficult. That is the author`s main point, but what he overlooks is not an analysis of why U.S. policy-makers, from the begining of Korean War and beyond, maintained a bias, This ...

Disarming the Allies of Imperialism: The State, Agitation, and Manipulation during China's Nationalist ...1 review
Michael G. Murdock
Cornell University East Asia Program, 2006
Not your typical history book
Murdock really goes in depth in this book. I found the book to be among the best historical accounts of modern China. The citations are well researched and documented. Overall I'd have to say that this is one of the best books to come from Cornell Press in years.

Disarming Iraq19 reviews
Hans Blix
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2005
A Good Read
For some reason this book did not generate a lot of interest but the book was actually a good read. I learned a few new things from a different perspective and would recommend the book to get an alternative viewpoint.
In summary his basic comments were that Iraq was not a threat and it was essentially contained and dis-armed since 1992, and the inspectors should have been allowed to complete ...

Disarming the Secular Gods: How to Talk So Skeptics Will Listen 2 reviews
Peter C. Moore
Intervarsity Pr, 1989
An excellent defense
Instead of simply giving an answer (or alternative) to each of the modern philosophies, Moore instead considers the validity of each one and weighs the evidence accordingly. The book is more rightly titled "An Exposition of Modern Philosophy." His intention is to discredit popular philosophies, but not to discard them altogether. Instead he highlights to contributions of each, even if he ...

Disarming the Heart: Toward a Vow of Nonviolence2 reviews
John Dear
Herald Press (PA), 1993
NECESSARY FOR EVERY SELF-PROCLAIMED CHRISTIAN TO READ AND TO VOW
As back cover of this beautiful book mentions how at one time, in the earliest days, asking a Christian to take a vow of non-violence would appear redundant with baptism.
Now it appears urgent in the light of so many violent Christians, including those involved in our imperial warfare.
People no longer understand that to be Christian is to be pacifist. To be Christian means to offer the ...

Dan Korem
International Focus Press, 2005
Extraordinary, Compelling, Urgently Applicable to All
I am utterly astonished to not see this book at the top of the charts and being absorbed by every school principal, every small town mayor, every police chief, and every counter-terrorism expert. This book is extraordinary, it is compelling, and it is utterly and urgently applicable to every single person who wishes to "defuse" potentially deadly "random actors."
Although it is a thick book ...

The Disarming of Canada
John Hasek
Key Porter Books, 1987
Tongue firmly in cheek, Vince ruminates on everything from guest etiquette to summer weekend fashion to throwing off Monday-to-Friday work concerns. His text is complemented by appropriately farcical illustrations and punctuated by a plethora of asides and conversation starters. Stocked generously with recipes, renovation advice, and hot-to tips for a wide range of weekend and cottage projects, this irreverent, yet amazingly useful guide is a ...
