This is a great book! It's as simple as that. Great stories, interesting pictures, this book has it all. A great book for any Spartan fan as well as any fan of college basketball.

I must admit that I bought this book as a Spartan fan expecting pictures and statistics. To my pleasant surprise, there were incredible stories about a history that is richer than I ever imagined. This book is a must have for Spartan Fans and Basketball Fans alike!

This is a great book for any Spartan fan. The writers do a wonderful job. The book tells about the best players, games, and seasons in Spartan basketball history.

Father Tamburello does it again! His other book, Ordinary Mysticism, was like peeling an onion. I cried turning the pages as he laid bare a complex topic.

This time around, he reveals in pages a layman can turn the secrets of one of the world's enduring mystics.

We can't easily check with Bernard, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if Father Tamburello explained things about Bernard that even Bernard didn't know!

Beauty for Ashes is clearly the most thoughtful, finely textured of the Sept. 11 remembrance books. John Farina, who has also edited the award winning Classics of Western Spirituality Series, has skillfully created a meditation on the Lord's Prayer from the 100 contributions of theologians, political leaders and artists.
Solidarity in suffering,providence, theodicy, forgiveness and healing are the themes presented, along with the practical questions of how religion influences political reactions and what is the future of Islamic-Christian relations.
This collection is not for the simple minded: because its different voices often speak in counterpoint. Hence there is something to both offend and more often enlighten every reader.

Beauty For Ashes is an amazing collection. Instead of getting writing that all speaks from the same persective, editor John Farina draws from very different voices. No single person will agree with everything written here, nor should they. The point is to get a glimpse into the suffering and hope caused by the terrible events of Sept. 11th. While pieces by famous people such as Andrew Sullivan and Salman Rushdie are excellent, my favorites were the pieces by non-celebrities. Libba Bray's mini-diary is wonderful - immediate and heartfelt. John Jones's powerful "manifesto" on the need to forgive the terrorists is sure to make you think, whatever your religious beliefs. Forget the pretty picture books and fancy volumes. This simple, modest volume is a treasure.

This wonderful new resource comprised of a broad range of reactions to the attack on America includes the voices of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others from a variety of religious movements. Provocative and profound.
