Keep Chickens! Tending Small Flocks in Cities, Suburbs, and Other Small Spaces 31 reviews Barbara Kilarski
Storey Publishing, LLC, 2003
Great book to start with if you are thinking about chickens
+ Share the love of chickens!
First if all, this book is not comprehensive, and I don't think it is meant to be. This is more like an overview of what it is like to keep chickens. It will give you an idea about the time, energy and rewards of keeping a urban or suburban flock. The author is very enthusiastic and it's quite ...

The book was least helpful in Rick ...

Great study Bible
+ very good + great exegetical tool
I am very pleased with this Study Bible.
Here are a few differences between this new edition and the old one:
1. This new edition has wider margins.
2. This edition adds notes from the AMG Greek Dictionary, and places them with the Strong's definitions. There used to be 2 sections, but now they ...

This anthology of Kim's papers is really fundamental to anyone willing to study the metaphysics of mind. There are also papers on causality, events and epistemology. However, the core of the book is the seminal work laid by Kim on supervenience and its relation to the mind-body problem. I really ...

A History of Christian Thought: Volume 3: From the Protestant Reformation to the Twentieth Century (Revised ... 3 reviews Justo L. Gonzalez
Abingdon Press, 1987
What is "Christian Thought"?
+ Survey Christian Thought post Reformation
I would disagree with the previous reviewer that this book does wrong when it devotes one chapter (entitled The Changing Philosophical Setting) to the philosophy that shaped 18th century theology. The fact is that Kant's philosophy very profoundly affected Christian THOUGHT both in his own time ...

Experiential Worship: Encountering God With Heart, Soul, Mind, And Strength 2 reviews Bob Rognlien
NavPress Publishing Group, 2005
Good Resource on Worship
+ Insightful first half...
This book focuses on engaging the body, mind, heart and will in a total worship experience. Regardless of our worship heritage, I am confident this title will in some way broaden our horizons when it comes to worship. The points made here by Rognlien don't really conform to any particular worship ...
