A must for Christian reading.
From the beginning of this book you know the author has a true love for Islamic people. Once you have read it, I hope you will feel closer to them yourselves.

I would warrant that a great majority of the Christian community has no idea what Muslim's really believe. Because they do not believe in Christ as God, most simply write them off as unbelivers and give them and their religion no further thought. This book will open your eyes to the fact that Christians and Muslims have a basis for religious dialog.

The author states that this book is not for Muslims but for Christians who desire to share Christ with Muslim friends. The key word here is "friends". This book shows that by building friendship through a true caring of his/her Muslim friend a Christian can lay a foundation that allows the sharing of ones beliefs. This book isn't written to confront the disblieving Muslim with his unbelief but to build a trusting relationship with him/her that allows you to, lovingly, share Christ.

Accad's book really opened my eyes to the fact that Christians and Muslims are not a million miles apart from one another, but that there are "bridges" that can be crossed in a caring manner.

A Muslim acquaitance of mine once said that there are 3 holy peoples: Christians, Jews, and Muslims. This book shows this isn't the random thought of one Muslim but that there can be a connection between Muslims and Christians that allows for the Muslim to share his deep trust in God and the Christian to share the gift of Christ's love and plan for all mankind.

Hard-going but good analysis
This book was not received particularly well in the academic press, but I would like to suggest its intellectual rigour and sense of adventure rather put them off. It is a work of great value and deserves reappraisal.

Conscience of Words
Published in Paperback by Noonday Press (1984)
Authors: Elias Canetti and Joachim Neugroschel
Amazon base price: $3.98
Used price: $12.46
Average review score:

Beyond Words
These essays are, in simple terms, beautiful. Carefully crafted,
precise, and most of all beautiful, Canetti explores in shorter form much of his philosopical world.

The collection of essays, Das Gewissen der Woerter, is also a great place to enter the world of Elias Canetti. Each essay is a gem that once you set your eyes on you can not let go of until having digested it in entirety.

When I first began this book it was 10 minutes before I was to meet a friend for lunch. After reading the first paragraph, I was hooked. I ended up missing my lunch date and it was worth it.


Cuban American Writers: Los Atrevidos

First Cuban American Anthology Published in the US
This anthology began the groundwork for uniting Cuban American writers in the US. Carolina Hospital, now one of the co-writers of A Little Love (by CC Medina), was the first to bring together these writers under one publication. Included are such prolific writers as Gustavo Perez-Firmat, Pablo Medina, Roberto Fernandez, Ricardo Pau-Llosa, and Elias Miguel Munoz to name a few as well as other less known writers who are nevertheless as intuitive and accessable by many audiences. Cuban American Writers: Los atrevidos contains short stories, novel excerpts and poetry by these writers. The theme varies from a longing for Cuba or loosing the culture of the past to the difficulties experienced by exiled writers dealing with a foreign "sometimes distant" culture. It is still my favorite book of the probably thousand or so I have read. If you can find a copy, let me know, mine is getting rather used to say the least.

Really is a brilliant gem this book; Bahu's style speaks for itself, completely lucid and absolutely no beating around the bush! This man defies our geneartions description of greatness, he transcends it, which is probable given his closeness to God; and God, transcends description, God is "the perfect balance, ever at peace, ever the same, man cals it God, even thogh it is too wondrous to be named, yet holy is its name and holy the tongue that keeps it holy" -Mirdad this is what Bahu seeks to convey, throught he medium of Love, and wonderfully powerful is his love for the lord, has to be read to be beleived. Elias does an excellent job of bringing the urdu meaning of Bahu brillinace across to english readers. A very very satisfying read, a book to be cherished and pased on for generations.
