Emotional ills & the Christian; G.J. Guldseth

Posted 4th August 2010 at 05:02 PM by SFG75 (SFG75's Blog)

There is a Church of Christ affiliated college in the town that I live in. When I taught a night course there back in' 05, I happened upon some free books in the library that happened to be from an old professor who retired. One of the books was Emotional ills and the Christian. Psychology and religion are key interests of mine, and an interplay between both would be interesting, hence my interest in The Varieties of Religious Belief by William James. Emotional illness was written in 1969 and...

Review: Primal by Mark Batterson

Posted 16th July 2010 at 01:00 PM by SFG75 (SFG75's Blog)

There is an interesting breed of young evangelicals with a lively message. These tattooed, loud music worshippers are not exactly your father's main line denominational liturgists. I haven't read many books about these young leaders, but I picked up this book on a whim to see what was behind their theology, or at least, mean looking tattoos, spiked hair, and passion for God.

Mark Batterson contends that we are headed to wards a reformation. this reformation is a "back to the...

I'm Christopher Hitchens, you're an idiot

The first question posed to him just made me laugh. I'm not certain if it's the condescending accent or the savage intellectual beating given through his reasoning to the poor student. Listen to the first minute and you'll see the demolition play out.

Review of Presidential Courage by Michael Beschloss

Posted 24th May 2010 at 06:21 PM by SFG75 (SFG75's Blog)

I ventured to the library and checked out Presidentail Courage by Michael Beschloss. I wasn't looking for a non-fiction book specifically, but having known Beschloss's writing, I knew it would be a good selection. Beschloss is one of the "new" history writers who in my opinion, weaves a great blow by blow historical account while mixing in facts, statistics, and amusing anecdotes.

The book starts out with Washington and the problems he faced in dealing with Jay's Treaty...
