Re: What Book Have You Read Recently?
"Evolution of Consciousness" by John Kuykendall is appealing in particular because it explains the Christian mysteries so everyone can understand them. The book evolves in stages as the reader is taken on a transforming journey through the layers of the mind, the parts of the mind and evolution. Among the themes explored are: Christ Consciousness, Trinity, and the Soul. It answers many questions and leads one to Christian Mysticism. I would recommend "Evolution of Consciousness" as a resource for spiritual renewal because the book outlines, with specific and practical guidelines, a life any person in the world—no matter their station—might adopt with great benefit. Here is ancient Christian wisdom written so contemporary Christians may understand.

Re: What Book Have You Read Recently?
I'm still working on that materials engineering book (I am in the last chapter, yay!). Picked up a few books at a yard sale: A collection of Robert Louis Stevenson (the classics plus a couple I had not heard of before), an anatomy book (quite graphic and thorough, the wife and I already got a couple of blushing laughs out of it), another book on wisdom / philosophies from assorted cultures, and my favorite of the bunch that I have already got a good start on...the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, by Bruce Lee. Quite a collection I thought, well worth the $2 the guy asked for the lot.

Re: What Book Have You Read Recently?
Started reading The Prophets by Heschel and picked up my Intro to Formal Logic book again. Was reviewing inference rules in propositional logic. Hope to move onto quantificational logic soon.

Re: What Book Have You Read Recently?
The philosophy book I mentioned earlier I brought in with me tonight: "Wisdom of the Elders" by David Suzuki and Peter Knudtson, c 1992. Having only gotten to the second chapter, it appears the remainder of the book is a collection of Native and Aboriginal legends regarding the association between humans and the earth.

Re: What Book Have You Read Recently?
I is reading teh:
Staffordshire Bull Terrier By Jane Hogg Frome This book provides the much-needed factual information about Staffordshire Bull Terriers and their ancestry, character and standard, as well as the proper selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behaviour of the breed. With scores of beautiful photographs (some by and some even featuring Tony “Now, where’s me keys” George) this is an essential addition to the library of every Staffordshire Bull Terrier enthusiast. Tony where's me keys!!!! Represent! |

Re: What Book Have You Read Recently?
I read a portion of a St. Thomas Aquinas tome (it was for my volunteer job - "reading" textbooks for the visually impaired students.)
Strangely enough, it was for a PoliSci class. Phyllis Sidhe_Uaine |
