This is a credible statement of Christian faith for people who need to question everything. Williamson is best known and respected for his pioneering work in Christian-Jewish dialogue, and his respect for Judaism is apparent on every page. His other dialogue partners include feminist and liberation theologies, process theology, narrative theology and the work of Paul Tillich, an early mentor. For Williamson, the one and only criterion to employ in weighing any expression of Christian faith and life is the Gospel, i.e., "the promise of God's love freely and decisively offered to each and all in Jesus Christ and the command of God that justice be done to each and all" (86). This is the criterion that allows him frequently to be scathingly critical of conventional orthodoxies--all in the name of a deeper orthodoxy. Readers may not always agree with his conclusions, but if they don't, they will still have to answer to his fundamental criterion: does it live up to the Gospel?

YOUR FRIENDS, HAYLEY AND GEORGIA!

I remember this book was of great help to me when I was a teenager. I reccommend it to everyone who struggling through their teens, or for parents or relatives of teens.

This book is a wonderful story and I recommend it to everyone!

Geoffrey Clark is the finest writer I've ever had the pleasure to know personally, and his gift for lyrical yet well-chosen prose (lyrical in that spartan, unadorned fashion typical of the best of American writers) is used to dramatic effect in this novel. The book ranges back and forth over the life of the narrator, Miller Springstead, while simultaneously depicting the events of a single weekend with a sparse clarity that works its way into the cracks of everyday life like water flowing down, and illustrates the follies and small victories of people just trying to find a way through. Truly one of the best novels I've read in some time, and an example of writing that's unjustly ignored, writing that substitutes honestly and clarity for sentimentality and preaching. This is a book on fire, burning slowly but cleanly, and a reward to the reader.

Excellent book that relates a very specific and particualr genre like the western with a very wide source of refernces, from baby care to painting. It has a very good historical background that helps understand the obsession of gender and sex in the jacksonian era.I particularly enjoyed the chapter where the author talks about Leone's living dead, it seems like if Jim Jarmusch had read it carefully for his "dead man". I still have my doubts about his vision of the final scene in the Wild Bunch, I don't see any heroic nostalgia there...

The Westminster Confession of Faith once provided readers with clear summary statements of what all presbyterians believed the Bible taught. By the middle of the 20th century that certainly had become less so. For some presbyterians, the WCF's concepts became only an option among many they were willing to tolerate if not accept. What presbyterians once believed had no more than historical interest and surely no authority.

But what did several hundred year's of presbyterians believe? How come some presbyterian churches even today claim that heritage? What leads these people to insist that the WCF remains one of the clearest statements of the Bible's teaching? What do these presbyterians and presbyterians of history believe? Of what value is a confession of faith, anyway?

Dr Gordon Clark, a theologically-trained and aware eyewitness to most of the changes of presbyterianism in the 20th century, answers those questions. Originally appearing as a series of articles in "The Southern Presbyterian Journal", his expostion got such an excellent reception that people decided to publish it in book form.

The resultant book gives a very readable but nonetheless quite thorough expostion of the WCF. Filled with illustrations and anecdotes, it serves as an excellent study aid for not only the WCF but Bible truths the confession comments on.

The book, along with G. I. Williamson's commentary on the WCF, should be part of the library of nearly any Bible-believing presbyterian elder.

This series of Baby Einstein books is great!! I bought all four of the "Violet" books for my ten month old and he loves them! The pictures are very colorful and bright to keep his attention. At the end of each book, there is a textured page for your child to feel... This one has a piece of sandpaper so baby can feel the sand. He loves to touch it every time! Sometimes he is impatient and turns right to the end! :) I would highly recommend these books for your baby!

I must say that this book comes a VERY close second to the Peter Gay series in terms of content and style. David Stafford-Clark has spent years studying Freud, and it truly shows in this amazing masterpiece. Staying away from a purely biographical text, Stafford-Clark is able to pull information from Freud's books, letters, studies, and stories to weave together a highly informative piece that anyone could take something away from. I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever had any interest in Freud, and especially to those who have always criticized him without ever reading him.

I have never before been prompted to write to an author to both thank and congratulate them on their book.

Susan Clark is clearly dedicated to her subject and has a tremendous depth of knowledge. Her narative is fluid and easy to understand. There have been and are increasing number of books on alternate medicine. 'What Really Works' must rate as one of the leading contemporary publications in this field. Striking the correct balance and depth on this subject the average reader is able to understand and learn how one can enhance one's health and quality of life via natural means.

There is sensible advice on when to take and not to take treatments,as well as to not discount conventional medicine which certainly has an important role in our lives. In addition there are cautionary notes on when to seek professional advice on certain ailments and use of remedies.

Having read the book I found it would have been useful to have an index on the range of herbs, minerals etc. with their particular usages. In addition it might have useful to have more information on the duration of taking treatments.

Anyone who has, or indeed does not have, a knowledge of alternate medicine will benefit from reading this book. The increased knowledge of one's own body and how it works, the way in which the body can positively react in a curative as well as preventive manner, will help one, and quite possibly one's family and friends, to maintain a healthy life style.
