The Friendly Book

I really enjoyed this one. A farmer (the author) leaves his comfortable farm life and decides to just "walk" and go on a journey. It takes place in America around the turn of the century. He meets various people along the way and he has moments of insight with nature and humanity. This story ...

The Kingdom of God Is within You36 reviews
Leo Tolstoy

Bison Books, 1984

An Essential Text for All Those Interested in Peace Studies

+ A Classic of Christian Pacifism
+ Insightful

I'm not a theist myself, but this is the book that I would want all theists to read because I sympathize with Tolstoy's views (insofar as I am quite fond of pacifism). Tolstoy, as I understand, is thought of as something of a maverick amongst the Christian community because of his 'extreme' ...

Biblically-based nature correlations. My 5 year old, nature boy, loves the animal facts about racoons, bears, geese, osprey, shrew and others. These are related to scripturally-based lessons (24) in four sections on loyalty, responsibility, courage,determination, initiative and decisiveness. This ...

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Modern Library, 1979

It's by Dostoyevsky. You really don't need to know much more.

+ Brilliant stories replete with meaning
+ Dostoevsky's Grim View of Mankind

It's by Dostoyevsky. You really don't need to know much more. Assuming, of course, you were looking for literature in the first place and not 'exciting' adventures of some yuppie underwear clad protagonist. Falls short of the 'original' translation published by Progress/ Raduga/don't remember ...
