Historia
The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval worldview, providing the historical and cultural background to the literature of the middle ages and renaissance. It describes the 'image' discarded by later years as "the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science, and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe". This, Lewis' last book, has been hailed as "the final memorial to the work of a great scholar and teacher and a wise and noble mind".

A Masterful Guide to the Medieval Mind
Revisado: 01-15-25
I absolutely loved this book. Lewis’s writing is as engaging as ever, blending fine scholarship with a conversational, almost whimsical voice that makes the dense material feel accessible and enjoyable. His commentary is both enlightening and deeply insightful, offering a masterful exploration of the medieval and Renaissance worldview.
This book has also been particularly helpful in preparing me to dive into medieval classics like Dante and Mallory, providing invaluable context for understanding their worlds and the mental frameworks they inhabited. Beyond that, Lewis’s exploration of the "medieval model of the universe" has given me a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration for my own writing. The detailed glimpse into the intricate, symbolic, and often beautiful worldview of the Middle Ages is proving to be tremendously useful as I work on my fantasy novel this year. For anyone interested in history, literature, or medieval cosmology, this book is an indispensable gem.

Historia
In Never Say Die, 15-year-old Inuit hunter Nick Thrasher takes a trip downriver with his half-brother Ryan, who’s visiting Canada’s Arctic to photograph the caribou migration. But when disaster strikes, Nick is forced to survive alone in a landscape filled with dangerous predators. Most of all, he fears the terrifying “grolar bear”, the half-grizzly, half-polar-bear hybrid that isn’t supposed to exist - except Nick has seen it with his own eyes.

Good story but pushes a narrative
Revisado: 06-09-23
I have enjoyed all the other books I have read by this author. However this one pushes the political agenda of climate change which I was very disappointed to see.

Historia
If life has taught the jaded sellsword Aaron Envelar anything, it’s that hope is for fools and causes are a sure remedy for breathing. But when his latest job leads him to the corpse of a prince and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the entire realm, Aaron is forced to choose sides in a war he doesn’t want, between forces he doesn’t understand. Thrust into a world of mythical assassins, a madman with superhuman strength, and a nagging ball of light with a superiority complex who claims to be the embodiment of compassion, Aaron takes on his hardest job yet - staying alive.

Unecessary Language
Revisado: 01-24-23
Interesting premise, but just can't get past all the F words. Was not worth finishing. Absolutely no reason for that in an epic fantasy book.

This was fantastic! I loved the gradual elucidation of the story on many levels, the rich vocabulary and scenes and the depth not usually found in literary creations today. Well done! I am looking forward to listening to more of your writing on Audible!

All over America, families are investing blood, sweat, tears, and retirement savings in their children’s sports careers, all with the ultimate goal of…what exactly? A college scholarship? A professional contract? Simply the taste of victory? Through the lens of the highly competitive world of girls’ softball, Lewis reveals the youth sports industrial complex that has arisen to aggressively monetize after-school pastimes.

Sad But True
Revisado: 11-29-22
As a high school coach in multiple sports for the last 34 years, this book describes what I have seen over the last 15 years especially. Youth sports are burning out players, bankrupting parents and making a ton of money for the organizers. Fantastic but eye-opening read!

Worst book I ever read
Revisado: 06-03-22
This was horrible. I always make it a practice to finish a book once I start it, It took tremendous willpower to finish it. I kept thinking this was some kind of satire, but it wasn't.

Historia
It's the most significant question of all time: Is there a God, or isn't there? In this compelling book, Ray Comfort argues the case with simple logic and common sense. If there is a God, surely he has made his presence known so that anyone, young or old, scholar or school child, can find him. By applying basic logic to three clear evidences for the existence of God, Comfort will help you examine the case for evolution, explore the facts that led the world's most notorious atheist to acknowledge a creator, and more.

Fantastic Listen!
Revisado: 03-25-22
Fantastic book from Ray Comfort. Ray is an absolute gift to our generation in the way he relentlessly challenges Christians to share their faith and challenges atheists and agnostics to have to live in their world view. But he does it with such logic and kindness and absolute love and care for those he talks to through his daily sharing of his faith or the many books he has written.
If you want a scriptural, scientific, logical and factual defense of Christianity, this is it!
