| Author | Jean Shinoda Bolen |
| ISBN | 0062500813 |
A well constructed book! I love it when a book changes my mind.
Bolen didn't grab me in the first chapter - I felt that she missed the mark by purporting an over simplified and dangerously fetishizing view of East/West, masculine/feminine, and left brain/right brain binaries. I relaxed my judgement,...
| Author | Starhawk |
| ISBN | 0062508164 |
I have a complicated relationship with Starhawk's writing. I am an atheist. I was a teenager when I was introduced to Neo-Paganism, and it was what led me to finally leave my mother's faith, and slowly become an atheist. This book might appear to be filled with crystal waving New Age woo-woo, but Starhawk...
What do weight loss, evil emperors and tales of redemption have in common?
We readers have many dirty little secrets-and our bestselling books are spilling them all. We can't resist conspiratorial crooks or the number 7. We have bought millions of books about cheese. And over a million of us read...

| Author | Leigh Eric Schmidt |
| ISBN | 0465002986 |
The nineteenth-century eccentric Ida C. Craddock was by turns a secular freethinker, a religious visionary, a civil-liberties advocate, and a resolute defender of belly-dancing. Arrested and tried repeatedly on obscenity charges, she was deemed a danger to public morality for her candor about...

Oh my dear SARK, your books are so lovely and wonder-full!

Jesus Mean and Wild: The Unexpected Love of an Untamable God
| Author | Mark Galli |
| ISBN | 0801012848 |
An interesting premise, but it lacked oomph. I feel like Galli started with the gospel and traced it back to attributes of Christ that he feels are often overlooked by the church today: Here is the gospel, and what does that tell us about Christ? Which is a fine thing to do, but the book purports to start with...

| ISBN | 0471344133 |
An overview on attitudes toward adversity. Everyone gets some, some get more than others. Already into disc 4, I like the way the author categorizes our response to adversity on a continuum, but that's not exactly how life is. We don't usually respond in a nice pattern. My friend pointed that out to me...
