GOING FOR INFINITY pays homage to one of the speculative fiction's greatest authors of the twentieth century by providing a taste of Poul Anderson's works as well as his retrospective thoughts over the six decades he wrote. The tales run the gamut of science fiction and fantasy with mystery thrown in showing how diverse a writer Mr. Anderson was. Some of the science fiction seems obsolete, but when looked from a historiographic perspective provides insight into the times the stories were written and into the mind of a creative individual. The fantasies and detective contributions hold up better as they clearly show Mr. Anderson's real talent of turning the obviously impossible into something that feels real and genuine; thus leaving the awed audience celebrating the classic works of a noteworthy renaissance writer.

Bishop Anderson does an outstanding job of talking about Christian faith today and puts things into a good context and offers great insight into the things the Church is doing, both good and bad. He also puts an emphasis on evangelism and spreading the message of God's love to all. It's a short book and a quick read, but it's worth reading for any follower of the Lord.

Every Christian I've ever heard or read has condemned Judas to hell...until Anderson. Anderson's examination of both the Biblical story of Judas and Jesus' teaching on forgiveness demonstrate two things. Christians should have undying hope for everyone, even the worst of society; and Christians should minister Christ's love, even when it seem meaningless. This is an eye-opening book, and a must-read for anyone concerned about being Christ-like in today's world.

I had Ray Anderson as a seminary professor and his perspective on ministry is life-changing.

Maybe (possibly probably?) Judas is in heaven...doesn't that just blow your mind?

This is a must book for every evangelical preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It explains the doctrine of the gospel in clear terms. I have been reading it for 50 years and it still helps me.

In a perfect world, most of us who know and enjoy good food would spend hours shopping and then lovingly prepare outstanding meals.
But we live in the real world, where assembling 35 ingredients and spending a few hours perfecting garnishes is a physical impossibility for most of us. Work, kids, aging parents and the everyday flood of must-do's often dictate a compromise between what we like to cook (and eat) and the effort we can put into it.
Anderson has proven "gourmet" is not a synonym for "complicated," and in this books shares with us her culinary strategies to enjoy cooking and serving elegant, tasty dishes prepared with only 5 ingredients. And Cream of Mushroom Soup is not an "ingredient" in Anderson's kitchen! We're not talking tuna casserole here.
Yes, it sounded too simple to me, too, but her recipes actually call for only 5 ingredients (excluding salt & pepper)and taste like you spent a weekend in the kitchen. I recommend the crabcakes, which are to die for!
This book is on my Christmas list for all my friends who love food -- but can't spend days assembling exotic ingredients.

"Gracious Gifts: Japan's Sacred Offerings" is a lush book of beautifully composed color photographs by Gorazd Vilhar and knowledgeable, well written interpretive text by Charlotte Anderson. The authors have lived in Japan for 15 years, and their reverent, yet dramatic presentation of more than 100 sacred offerings left at Buddhist and Shinto sites gives the Western eye a rare glimpse into the Japanese custom of leaving small gifts in daily rituals honoring their gods, ancestors and lost loved ones. Even with little knowledge of Japan or its customs, readers of this book will be thrilled with the simple elegance of Japanese form, as well as the intense color and remarkable variety of the offerings. From daikon radishes carved into genitalia, offered to encourage fertility, to the 1000 handfolded origami cranes in every color, offered up for learning, the offerings shown in this book provide the reader with a feast for the mind and the spirit. Vilhar's photographs respect and preserve the sacred nature of the offerings. In fact, his careful attention to the form, color and precise arrangement of each offering provide one with a sense of awe that was surely felt by the bearer of the gift, but which might not be as immediate if one were to encounter these simple offerings in person. In the interpretive text, Anderson carefully and reverently provides enough background to enhance one's appreciation of the images, without presuming to explain the religion or its role in modern Japan. She accepts and describes what is. This beautiful book teaches one how to pay attention with a higher level of awareness.

My son is in first grade and an avid reader. He selected this book from his school library and reading two chapters a night, we finished it in less than a week. Even thought it looks complex, the text and the illustrations in the book are wonderful. It's very well written and easy to read. My son knows most of the words in the book, and there is a glossary in the back for specific terminology. It's very engaging and stimulating even for an adult. I love reading it to him!
