An evangelistic course after the fashion of the Alpha Course
A wonderful well written evangelistic course, without the excesses of the Alpha course. Presents the case for Christ from the perspective of the holiness of God, rather than from a man centered view. No, Toronto Blessing style weekend. Is an evangelistic course to the end, not just the first 4 lessons. A course you can use in good conscience without having to compromise with the "Renewal".

Guillen's knowledge of this subject shines through
After co-writing the Search for the Green River Killer, Tomas Guillen sums this case up expertly. Even if you haven't read the earlier book, you'll understand the dynamics that allowed Gary Ridgway to get away with these crimes for 22 years. I highly recommend this book.

Awesome - changed my life
I don't believe in organised relgion at all, but this book truly changed my life, and that of my girlfriend.

Buy this book today it could change your life in the most amazing way.

One in a million (p. 138)!
I don't want to go overboard (p. 78), but I must disagree with my previous reviewers here and say that this book is a worthwhile addition to any writers' shelf. I could jump on the bandwagon (p. 100) and criticize it for a lack of an index or the absence of overly detailed etymological information, but take it from me (p. 175), it does what it sets out to do fair and square (p. 57). ...

An Excellent Introduction to Hellenismos
Kharis was one of the first books I came across when researching Hellenismos. It gives an excellent overview of the religion and its practices, and is intelligently written while still being easy to follow. An added bonus is the author's insight into the modern-day Hellenic community, both through her own experiences, and through the Hellenic Polytheist survey in the back of the book. Having read ...
