Story5 out of 5 stars 118
On May 8, 1373, 30-year-old Julian of Norwich, sick and near death, had a series of visions of Christ. In these 16 visions she learnt about God's loving nature. God in Julian's visions was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, Man is not to blame for his sin; instead it is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.

Do I Stay Christian?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 204
Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people—including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders—are asking in private. Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.

This book is totally an eye opener and made me reconsider my whole religious and and spiritual upbringing. I have always felt I was on the outside and looking in. I always wondered why I did not really feel like a member of my tribe of Christian people. Now I know why. My journey has always been about learning about new ways of thinking. I highly recommend this book!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,635
Dish up the red meat, eggs, and whole milk! In this well-researched and captivating narrative, veteran food writer Nina Teicholz proves how everything we've been told about fat is wrong. For decades, Americans have cut back on red meat and dairy products full of "bad" saturated fats. We obediently complied with nutritional guidelines to eat "heart healthy" fats found in olive oil, fish, and nuts, and followed a Mediterranean diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, and grains. Yet the nation's health has declined. What is going on?

Excellent book! I was amazed to hear the information that was provided and the extreme breaches of scientific method. This was very enlightening. I very much enjoyed the book and will do further study.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,399
Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier - maybe even a lot happier. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it. Breaking through resistance, Kelly tells us, is essential to becoming the person that God created us to be. What is resistance? It's that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,707
Casey Cox’s DNA is all over the crime scene. There’s no use talking to police; they’ve failed her abysmally before. She has to flee before she’s arrested . . . or worse. The truth doesn’t matter anymore. But what is the truth? That’s the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey. PTSD has marked him damaged goods, but bringing Casey back can redeem him. Though the crime scene seems to tell the whole story, details of the murder aren’t adding up.

- By: Terri Blackstock

Excellent thriller!
Reviewed: 06-28-16
Would you listen to If I Run again? Why?
I have listened twice now. Tight story line. Keeps my interest with all the twists and turns.
What other book might you compare If I Run to and why?
I like all of the Blackstock books. However, the Newpointe series with the fire chief killing the wives of firemen kept us on the edge of our seats. It was also written well with compelling characters.
Which character – as performed by Nan Gurley – was your favorite?
Aunt Aggie. She makes an excellent contrast to the points being made in the story.
Who was the most memorable character of If I Run and why?
Casey. I can identify with her struggles and her thoughts of giving up or forging ahead. She always chooses for God and trying to do the right thing. She realizes how hopeless her life is and knows that she only has God to trust.
