An excellent book
I read this book some years ago and wish that it had not gone out of print. In essence, it is a series of interviews with great thinkers, both traditional theists and scientists and philosophers whose work and thought have led them to consider a traditional God as a reality.

The thesis of the project, and it was borne out by the interviews, is that the leading, cutting edge thinkers in any field are far more likely to consider God seriously than the rank and file who are often still mired in the muck of warmed-over logical positivism and misplaced hyper-rationalism.

This book can have a profound effect on your faith and your life.

This was excellent project and needs to be revisited.

Has the power to dissolve metaphysical homeostasis & ennui.
I was stunned to read the thoughts of truly brilliant minds about life, death, and the infinite beyond earth. This collection of penetrating interviews had a fundamental effect on my belief system. IMHO, this is one of the most important books ever published. I cannot, however, think of any that really compare to it... a strong statement, I realize. This book does not proselytize at all, even though the title suggests otherwise... If fact, the title choice is very unfortunate. If this book had been titled differently, it would probably have been a best seller... All the current "angels" nonsense notwithstanding! READ IT IF YOU CAN GET IT!

Scholars and Practical Book in Christian Coaching!
I have read this excellent book by Kenn Gangel, Personally I want to say that this book is excellent and extraordinary. Because of his insight and scholars background plus his background of practical ministry that make this book became awesome. Especially in Christian Coaching, this is quite new and nobody writes in the some topic as good as Gangel does. With Biblical and scriptural passages background plus practical way of coaching principles and action make this book easy to read and very beneficial. I encourage to all Christian leader to read and apply this principle in this book, this is a book for the future leader in this generation and to the next generation. Thanks and God bless you.

yes
The Writers of this book have helped me to know how important it is to have an eternal perspective on life. This is a very good book. Backed with Scripture this book shows one God's Ways

God's Ways should be our Ways
I have read "The Ways of God" by Henry Blackaby. I loved this book, it showed me that God's ways are not always my ways, but they should be. I have begun to pray now, God show me your way! It has made a real difference in my life. It has given me peace like never before, and only God can do that. Thank you Mr. Blackaby for your book, it has changed my life immensely!

Scholarly. Scriptural. Music notations. Three languages.
What a great, inspiring work of worship has been accomplished in this statement of faith by the ancient Christian church in impressive liturgical form. The original Coptic language is translated into harmony with both English and Arabic. The actions of the priest and the choir are described in both living languages. The musical notes and corresponding chant syllables are clearly printed. Music scholars, religious scholars, researchers in ancient languages will all find rich rewards in this volume. The "ordinary" person-in-the-pew who loves Biblical Scriptures will also find confirmation and awe in the deep worship that has survived since the first century. The reader of this work will find the introductory remarks instructive to his study and worship. And if the reader has Arabic as his primary language, he will be impressed to have this volume also readable from back-to-front and left-to-right, with the English and Coptic also accompanying.


Faithful Living in a Faithless World
Published in Paperback by Intervarsity Press (1998)
Author: Roy Clements
Amazon base price: $10.99
Average review score:

Incisive Exegesis in a Popular Style
Roy Clements has produced a masterful study of key passages from Ezekiel and Daniel, giving keen exegetical analysis yet for a popular audience. He points out many points of contact between the attitudes of Israelites just before the exile and the contemporary church in the West. Altogether, this book provides a stunning Biblical critique of "Christian culture" and popular Christian attitudes while avoiding taking these passages out of context. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to study the prophets or for anyone concerned with tendencies in the contemporary church to see ourselves as having it "all together". As Clements notes, much of the church in the West has no concept of the kind of persecution the early church underwent or the kind of judgment Israel received with the exile, and it has drastically influenced our lifestyles, lingo, and attitudes toward Christian holiness and worship. Books like this are seriously needed in today's church, and it is quite unfortunate that his other books have all gone out-of-print. Snatch this one up, before it goes the way of the others! This man is often described as the best preacher in the U.K., and this book gives credibility to such claims.

An excellent book dealing with sexual sins and deliverance
This book deals specifically with sexual sins and how our Christian lives are affected and how often there are deeper issues at stake which need to be addressed. Roy gets to the heart of the matter and is specific about sins of homosexuality, of unfaithfulness, divorce, etc. and how the grace of God can completely set free from the guilt and bondage of these sins. We would highly recommend it!

Shakespeare's Christian Dimension: An Anthology of Commentary

Did Shakespeare write from a Christian point of view?
The authors of this anthology would answer that question with an emphatic "yes!" Battenhouse's anthology brings together writings from an important school of Shakespearean criticism which holds that the Bard's works exemplify traditional Christian teachings as mediated by such thinkers as Boethius and, especially, St. Augustine. It is sometimes called the Augustinian school. A critic's assumptions can greatly influence his or her interpretation of a work. For example, Romantic critics, such as Coleridge and Bradley, hold that the character Hamlet's main problem is his vacillation in carrying out his father's ghost's demand that Hamlet revenge his murder. The Augustinians disagree. They believe there are numerous signs in the play that the ghost is actually a demonic hallucination intent on deceiving Hamlet. Horatio and Marcellus suspect this and tell Hamlet not to follow the ghost. Hamlet's decision to follow the ghost anyway, say the Augustinians, is the first of many errors he makes which result in the "accidental judgments, casual slaughters" with which he ends so many lives, including his own. In fact, Hamlet's whole ethic of revenge is very dubious morally, as are the suicides of Romeo, Juliet, and Othello. Shakespeare's Christian Dimension challenges many widely-held assumptions about the meaning of the plays. These critics anchor their interpretations firmly in the moral and theological writing of Elizabethan and earlier times. Battenhouse has assembled a fine group of critics here. His book is well-organized and easy to use. One need not read the whole book to get the Augustinian view of a particular play. The book is a feast for lovers of Shakespeare.


We Would See Jesus

A POWERFUL BOOK IN A SMALL PACKAGE
A friend gave me a copy in college and I devoured it immediately. I like to underline the more meaningful passages and I found I was underlining the entire book. Roy and Revel Hession go straight to the heart of what is means to follow Jesus and seeing Him as all we need, as the truth, as the door, as the way, as the end and for others. The Hessions write in a powerful style that few modern day authors can emulate. The 96 pages make for a powerful book in a small package.

Awakens the truth in you
This is such an awesome book. Finished it within a week, and I plan to share it with my girls. Absolutely and positively a great pointer to the one and only thing that matters - Christ. I highly recommend this book to any heart that seems to have found itself wandering and dry. This will be a helpful aid leading you back to Christ, and as a result, awakens the truth in you.

We Would See Jesus
I'm reordering more copies of this wonderful book which has been one of my favorites for more than twenty years. The message is one sorely needed in every Christian life - only Jesus is worthy of our attention and adoration, that seeing Him is the solution to every problem of our lives. He is an unfailing Source of life and liberty. All else fades into insignificance as we fix our spiritual vision upon Him.

Inspirational and enlightening
A close friend told me about this book, and I borrowed it and read it in one setting ... I could not put it down. A must read for all who wish to be inspired!

A Little Gem of Inspiration
I just received this book recently. I found it to be an enjoyable and inspirational read. An interesting metaphorical musing that parallels the growth of one's spiritual walk, with similarities within the growth of creation itself. I enjoyed it!

Miracle-growth for the Soul
As a Mother of 5 children finding time for myself is very precious to me, and some of my favorite moments are when I can curl up with a good book. This book definitely provided me an enjoyable reading experience. I definitely can use a lift, and this one touched my soul.
