Keep Chickens! Tending Small Flocks in Cities, Suburbs, and Other Small Spaces31 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 Emerging Church: Vintage Christianity for New Generations43 reviews
Dan Kimball

Zondervan/Youth Specialties, 2003

Good read

+ So close to being a great book...

Most of my commentary on this text would simply echo the pros and cons of the other reviews. It is a general intro. to the praxis of emergent ecclesiology. The book was most helpful for me in laying out how other churches are doing the emerging thing. The book was least helpful in Rick ...

Conceivability and Possibility

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

The capacity to represent things to ourselves as possible plays a crucial role both in everyday thinking and in philosophical reasoning; this volume offers much-needed philosophical illumination of conceivability, possibility, and the relations between them.
  
  











  



  
A History of Christian Thought: Volume 2: From Augustine to the Eve of the Reformation (Revised Edition)2 reviews
Justo L. Gonzalez

Abingdon Press, 1987

Creates a decently firm foundation for Medieval Christianity

Justo establishes a rather well based description of Medieval Christian theology and philosophy. He explains Augustine and the other fathers of the Church in a scholarly objective sense. He does not hide from Christian controversies, but addresses them in a manner that simplifies the matter for ...
  
  











  



  
Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible: New American Standard Bible : Unlocking the Riches of God's Word51 reviews

AMG Publishers, 1998

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 ...

Supervenience and Mind: Selected Philosophical Essays (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy)1 review
Jaegwon Kim

Cambridge University Press, 1993

Excellent papers

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 Strength2 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 ...
