The Turnaround
George Pelecanos

Thirty five years later, one survivor of that day reaches out to another, opening a door that could lead to salvation. But another survivor is now out of prison, looking for reparation in any form he can find it. THE TURNAROUND takes us on a journey from the rock-and-soul streets of the '70s to the changing neighborhoods ...

The University of North Carolina Press, 2008

How we see the Civil War
The Civil War is one of the most important events in American history, generating tons of books, magazines, memorials, paintings and statuary. The day the war ended, participants seem to have started books on their experience. Publishing has not stopped and seems to be more active now than 100 years ago. Any large complex event is subject to interpretation. This interpretation creates ...

Lord, Have Mercy: The Healing Power of Confession

Scott Hahn

Doubleday, 2003

It really is good for the soul
Coming from a very militant reformed Protestant background, few teachings of the Roman Catholic church raised my distrust like the teaching on the sacrament of confession/penance. But Dr. Hahn once again smashes through the walls of distrust to reveal the true value of confession in the Christian life. Far from being something to be feared, it is instead nourishment and ointment to the ...

Miroslav Volf

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2006

Volf Continues to Challenge - A Must Read
In a post Holocaust, post (this is ethonocentric, I know) 9/11 world the world, we are commonly called to Remember the wrongs, both terrible and minute, forever. The idea runs: If we forget, we disgrace the victim and allow the perpetrator to go free. But Volf, stirred deeply both by his own trying life situations and abiding faith in Christ, declares we should not allow this false form of ...

The Peace Maker By Ken Sande
I have been attending a bible study at my church which is based on the book, The Peace Maker by Ken Sande. I was so impressed with the book and with the study that I ordered a copy of the book for each of my three adult children. The book is well-written and is an "easy" read. I only wish I could have had access to the book thirty or forty years ago! Any adult could benefit from the reading ...

Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy, and the West

Benazir Bhutto

Harper, 2008

Please read this book!
I am a US citizen of Asian descent. I knew nothing about Benazir Bhutto before reading this book besides that she was a politician of "one of those countries out there." Her story has educated me on the complicated situation between the Islamic countries and the West. Her ideas and plans make sense. I just hope that enough of our own politicians read this. Now that she's reached so many ...

Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation

18 reviews
Miroslav Volf

Abingdon Press, 1996

The Cross, the Self, and the Other
Miroslav Volf has written a somewhat complex piece that in the end advocates non-violence in a world of violence. He writes as one who has been in the war zone of the Balkans and come out the other side. This book is important for what it has to say about justice, but more importantly love. Volf has had to deal personally with Serbian fighters who raped, pillaged, put in concentration camps, and ...

Hope For the Separated: Wounded Marriages Can Be Healed (Chapman, Gary)

Gary Chapman

Moody Publishers, 2005

Wonderful, appropriate, practical resource
For those of us who have found ourselves separated from our spouse it is a terrible, frustrating, depressing and confusing time. We're married -- but we're not. We're single -- but we're married. We have a spouse -- but not a husband/wife. We can't be a family -- but we can't be a single. And a separation can only go in one of two ways -- reconciliation or divorce. Chapman's book is a ...

John Bevere

Charisma House, 2004

Much needed word for The Body of Christ TODAY!!
This was the first John Bevere Book I had gotten through. I had first heard of John one night at a church we used to go to, where we watched the video the Bait of Satan. I was introduced to this great man of God and the anointing that God had on his life. I read the book and let me tell you I only finished it in about three days! It was so awesome at how he talks about offence running rampent ...

The Reconciliation (Imajica, Book 2)

Clive Barker

HarperTorch, 1995

#2? in the series, I dont think so
I love Clive Barker's work. But I feel Decieved because I have read this book before, when it was just one book. You should make this clear to your customers. I will be more careful next time. I loved the book the first time but I am not going to buy the first half again. How disappointing it was not a totally new story about the same Imajica. Or am I wrong? I don't think so.

Great Book to Read with or without a psychiatrist
This book helped me to deal with betrayal and abuse I suffered by the actions of family members and friends.

Fairies! back on track with this book.
I gave Fairy Dust 5 stars. SO far the book I have read in this series deserve at least 6 then. I LOVED the magic started in Fairy dust, but they have stepped it up and made a wonderful world of fairies most people will love. I found this book to have more personality and character then Fairy dust. They elaborate more on the characters, the talents and everything. The fairy world just got ...

Bettie B. Youngs, Masa Goetz, ...

Adams Media, 2006

Its AMAZING!
As a young, strong and independent woman, this book was perfect for me when I found out about my husbands affair. It didn't make me feel like a victim, and didn't make me feel bad about NOT wanting to get back together. I also bought it for my husband. Since we were not focused on getting back together, rather, bettering ourselves, we were able to decide if we wanted to be together in the long ...

God the Evidence : The Reconciliation of Faith and Reason in a Postsecular World

73 reviews
Patrick Glynn

Three Rivers Press, 1999

Don't think this is strictly scientific
Why do we hang on science for evidence of God? Must there be some sort of equation? Must we see ultimate fate to believe? Glynn attempts to say no, that there is overwhelming evidence of God in the world now, even though many claim him "dead." Glynn doesn't speak much about the scientific proofs of God. But, he does mention the hated Anthropic Principal. Which is "too convenient," according to ...

A Profound Reflection on our capacity for Reconciation
Pumla Gobodo-Madikezela reflects on central human issues such as the nature of individual and social evil, the possibility of social reconciliation, the individual's ability to move from participation in violent evil to remorse, and the capacity to meet one another with forgiveness. As urgent at these issues are, her narrative makes compelling reading -- both her accounts of her face-to-face ...
