In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

This is an academic work describing how the New Testament writers re-purpose Genesis 6:1-5 in their presentation of Jesus as messiah. Though every topic addressed in Reversing Hermon can be found in scholarly academic literature, Reversing Hermon is the first book to gather this information and make it accessible to Bible students everywhere. The book also includes lengthy appendices on the ancient debate on the inspiration of the book of 1 Enoch, New Testament allusions to the book, and academic resources.

Very detailed and informative
Revisado: 12-17-21
I had never heard of the book of Enoch until a friend of mine recommended Michael Heiser's book "The Unseen Realm". After listening to that book, I saw this one. I really liked the first one. This book however was different and better in some ways. It will giver you a new perspective on what the Jews of the time of Jesus Christ would have thought and believed about the scriptures they were reading. It was very well done.

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies. The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace.

Is this a political book?
Revisado: 11-30-21
This book I thought was going to be about lies and goes to combat them in my life. Mostly it was. However, we all know the best lie is mostly true, especially if you back it up with quotes from people who are, or have been in the past and are now gone. The author says several times that he has no political agenda, well when you say things that are marinaded in politics and social justice after saying "I have no political agenda." I kind of feel like I am being misled at best. I truly think that this guy is genuine in his social justice belief, but that is also what makes him dangerous. I would not recommend this book to my family. I think he does put some things together nicely, but the poison that you have ingest a long with it really made me want to vomit.

Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

The Final Solution
Revisado: 10-19-21
It is one of those things I believe we need to know about, but really wish we didn't know about...
The horrors and the realization that me or anyone I know could have been one of those "Ordinary Men" made me afraid of and disgusted by the the man I could be, given the circumstances. I can only thank God that I was not born into either of those circumstances.

Christianity isn’t about following rules, it’s about a relationship. The rise in popularity of this phrase coincides with a growing disinterest and misunderstanding regarding the role of God’s life-giving, perfect law in the Christian life. Rather than the source of joy it was intended to be, the law is viewed as an angry god’s restrictions for a rebellious people.

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

Great Performance
Revisado: 08-22-19
It was a great book.
A great performance of a great book.
Highly recommended.
I now know why some books are called "Classics" I believe my favorite character was Capt. Flint, the bird. He made me laugh.

Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But what most people don't know is that the more thoroughly researchers investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features recognized as essential to human existence have expanded explosively within the past decade.

"Real Evidence" for Creation
Revisado: 07-28-19
This book has more real evidence for creation than I have ever seen or heard. I believe if you're a real scientist you follow the evidence where it leads, I cannot believe that these atheist scientist refuse to follow the evidence.
