No Place for Amateurs: How Political Consultants are Reshaping American Democracy 3 reviews
Dennis Johnson
Routledge, 2001
An inside look
As of late, political consultants have become convenient boogeymen. It seems whenever the American people decide they'd rather be apathetic than devote a few minutes out of their day to voting or whenever a politician is caught breaking the law, it somehow turns out to be the ultimate fault of political consultants. And so, every few months or so, we get a lot of people demanding a lot of new ...

No Place for Truth or Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology? 15 reviews
David F. Wells
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1993
A magisterial analysis!
This is a provocative, demanding and rewarding book that attempts to grapple with some of the central challenges of Christian thought and life in a modern or post-modern world. Looking through Amazon and one or two other online sites, it is clear that many readers have also read Mark A. Noll's The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. I have too; and by way of introduction to David F. Wells' book, it ...

Fat, Broke & Lonely No More: Your Personal Solution to Overeating, Overspending, and Looking for Love in All ...18 reviews
Victoria Moran
HarperOne, 2007
Life as Art
Get ready to make a positive change in your life when you read this practical book. I was moved by Victoria's witty observations of life and her findings about what makes us fat, broke and lonely. No, it's not the food we eat, although that is important for good health. It's not willpower, although you can use what little you have of that commodity to make small changes each day. It's not having ...

Pure Magic
No Place for Magic was a magical book. The ordeals Emma and Eadric have to face are both funny and frightful. Even though I'm a little old to be reading these books I can't help but continue. Eadric and Emma find that they are still in love even after all the trials they face. A perfcet read for someone who likes magic, romance, and tons of fantastic creatures.

There's No Place Like Space: All About Our Solar System (Cat in the Hat's Lrning Libry)17 reviews
Tish Rabe
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1999
Inexplicably fun
My son sees this book at his doctor's office and begged for his own copy. He's usually a truck guy, so I don't understand his attraction to this book, but he definitely strongly likes it. And, heck, there's no harm in him learning the names of planets and a bit about space! Great book.

Is There No Place on Earth for Me?14 reviews
Susan Sheehan
Vintage, 1983
An exceptional piece of investigative journalism that is potently affective.
If the investigative reporter Nellie Bly were still alive, she probably would have declared Susan Sheehan to be her comrade-in-arms, journalistically speaking, at least, for so eye-opening is this book, a Pulitzer Prize winner in 1983 in the nonfiction category, that one can't help but somehow feel indirectly involved in this true story in regards to time, place and manner.
By chronicling the ...

No Place for Sovereignty: What's Wrong With Freewill Theism14 reviews
R. K. McGregor Wright
InterVarsity Press, 1996
Still the best
Published in 1996: Eight years later, this is still the best book on the subject, and will continue to be for a very long time.
This book is excellent. Regarding the final two chapters, that some find out of place and rushed, I have to disagree: it is the only place in the literature where I found a meaningful and reasonable explanation of the questions of evil and ultimacy, which are the ...
