39 reviews
Dina Falconi

Ceres Press, 1997

Exactly what I was looking for
I was looking for a book to teach myself how to make my own skin-care products. This book does just that. I have used several recipes - which I usually "tweak" to my own preferences. I've recommended it to many family/friends.

Earthly Pleasures: A Novel

Karen Neches

Simon & Schuster, 2008

Totally Fun Chick-Lit Version of Heaven
Multiply storylines in this totally fun chick-lit version of Heaven. Who would have thought that God is a woman who sounds just like Bette Midler. Where all of life's lessons can be found in the lyrics of 5 Beatles songs and where you can watch the lives of earthlings on TV including hot Hollywood actors in the shower. I didn't know that Heaven could be such a hoot, but with Skye Sebring as ...

Above All Earthly Pow'rs: Christ in a Postmodern World

18 reviews
David F. Wells

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005

A Timely And Important Warning
Other reviewers have indicated how important & difficult this book is to read. It is dense and requires sustained thought. But the insights in this book are absolutely essential to understanding how dramatically, comprehensively and severly Evangelical Christianity has been compromised or is being compromised in the post-modern cultural context. I will focus on what I consider to be the ...

Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin (California Studies in Critical Human Geography)

15 reviews
Gray Brechin

University of California Press, 2006

POWERFUL, ENTERTAINING HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
I am long overdue in giving praise, and thanks, to Gray Brechin for writing one of the definitive and most unique historical treatises on the incomparable and often barbaric history of California, San Francisco, and the American West. He opens with an examination of urban-centric empires, particularly Rome and London, and shows how the process repeated and accelerated in California, due to the ...

Every Earthly Blessing: Rediscovering the Celtic Tradition

3 reviews
Esther De Waal

Morehouse Publishing, 1999

Excellent Overview
This book provides a superb introduction to the Celtic Christian vision. I particularly enjoy the trinitarian aspects of Celtic prayer. The vision and picture presented in the book reveals a Chritian faith that does not divide the sacred from the secular or the mind and the body and soul. But rather, it presents a picture of faith affecting every area of life.

Earthly Powers: The Clash of Religion and Politics in Europe, from the French Revolution to the Great War

17 reviews
Michael Burleigh

HarperCollins, 2006

deep insight into how people are motivated in politics as well as religion
This is a broad look into what may appear today to be minor movements and personalities. these characters created the necessary structures for the better known historical figures to emerge. The 'religious' character of these utopean merchants is remarkable even when the solutions they envisioned were brutally inhuman.This book provides us with a deeper understanding of the conflicts of the ...

Virgin Earth: A Novel (Earthly Joys)

27 reviews
Philippa Gregory

Touchstone, 2006

Beautiful Prose, Thrilling Plot
I wasn't really expecting to become a big fan of Philippa Gregory, but in the past couple years, I have become a huge fan. This book, the stand-alone sequel to Earthly Joys, follows the son of John Tradescant, our first book's narrator, and gives us another generation's perspective. Different from his father (for better or for worse, he's always conflicted), John is never sure whether he wants ...

Earthly Joys: A Novel (Earthly Joys)

Philippa Gregory

Touchstone, 2005

Lucky find
I stumbled across this book in a thrift shop and thought it looked mildly interesting. I had never heard of the author before or read any of her other books but figured it must be worth at least the quarter they were asking. I was drawn in immediately and could not stop thinking about the story even when I had to put it down. I really enjoyed her rich descriptions of the time period and the ...

The Earthly Republic: Italian Humanists on Government and Society

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1978

The gradual secularization of European society and culture is often said to characterize the development of the modern world, and the early Italian humanists played a pioneering role in this process. Here Benjamin G. Kohl and Ronald G. Witt, with Elizabeth B. Welles, have edited and translated seven primary texts that shed important light on the subject of "civic humanism" in the Renaissance. Included is a treatise of Francesco Petrarca on ...

A Garden of Earthly Delights (20th Century Rediscoveries)

8 reviews
Joyce Carol Oates

Modern Library, 2003

Excellent quality of writing
The plot was all right, but I was most impressed by Ms. Oates's lyrical use of language. She has the ability to transform the most mundane actions, feelings, or settings into something that seems really unusual or noteworthy just by describing it a certain way. I love the way the the main character, Clara, sees the world...it is very refreshing and unusual. I can't really tell if the awesome ...

An Earthly Crown (The Jaran, Book 2; The Sword of Heaven, Book 1)

Kate Elliott

DAW, 1993

The saga continues . . .
After reading some of the other reviews I almost didn't buy this book. But I'm very glad I did. If you're interested in complex characters, a fascinating exploration of differing cultures and what happens when they begin to intermix, and if you enjoy great story telling, then you should definitely read this book. And unlike some other reviewers, I found the homosexual part of the storyline to ...

Even Mystics Have Bills to Pay: Balancing a Spiritual Life and Earthly Living

3 reviews
Jim Rosemergy

Unity Books (Unity School of Christianity), 2000

A highly recommended book with spiritual insight
This can be termed a "prosperity" book, but it doesn't center on the idea of becoming filthy rich. It won't likely help you win the lottery or a promotion or a large inheritance. What this book can help you achieve is a deeper awareness and consciousness of God, or if you prefer, a tuning in with the universe. There is mysticism here, but there is also a certain practicality. The book is in ...

Earthly Possessions

21 reviews
Anne Tyler

Ballantine Books, 1996

Charlotte Emory, housewife and hostage
Of the many Anne Tyler novels I've read, "Earthly Possessions" is very nearly my favorite. (Ask me next week and I'll point to "Accidental Tourist.") A departure from her character-driven multi-generational household dramas, its dark satire and sinister comedy remind me, in a weird way, of the film "Raising Arizona," with which it shares vague and odd similarities in characters and plot. In ...
