The Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew 103 reviews Bart D. Ehrman
Oxford University Press, USA, 2003
Gripping reading
+ Good enough for its target audience + New Theories re: old ideas
Ehrman surprisingly manages to introduce a sensitive topic in a largely unbiased way without being offensive to the sensibilities of most Christians today. This is a very difficult accomplishment where many other authors failed before. I really appreciated his exposition, and actually learned ...

Your Immortal Reality: How to Break the Cycle of Birth and Death 105 reviews Gary Renard
Hay House, 2006
One of the best books for transformation
+ A second great book + Spiritually Uplifting
I love both of Gary's books: The Disappearance of the Universe (D.U.) and Your Immortal Reality. I particularly enjoyed Your Immortal Reality the best because it seemed as if the information was coming much faster than in the first book (D.U.) because Gary had grown deeper in wisdom by time and ...

Life changing book

I have read a lot but Gary Renard's book , 'The Disappearance Of The Universe' was one that changed my life and turned me around completely.

The Gospel of Thomas: The Hidden Sayings of Jesus 42 reviews Marvin Meyer
HarperOne, 1992
Buy it......Must Read........
+ Meyer's Translation of Jesus is Superb! It's just what we feel Jesus would be! + For a nonexpert, a thought-provoking volume
This book explains what Jesus was saying, even though he spoke in riddles. I understood the riddles. There's no hoopla, no chaos, no drama in this book. It's to the point. This book confirms what I believed all along, there was no crucifixion, no dying and coming back to life. It was all a farce ...
