The Pilgrims' celebration of the first Thanksgiving is a keystone of America's national and spiritual identity. But is what we've been taught about them or their harvest feast what actually happened? And if not, what difference does it make? Through the captivating story of the birth of this quintessentially American holiday, veteran historian Tracy McKenzie helps us to better understand the tale of America's origins—and for Christians, to grasp the significance of this story and those like it.

The historical portion of the book is interesting. When it comes to the theological commentary along the way and the final theological application, the author seems out of his element. He seems to struggle to develop theological insights to add to the raw historical data. The book would be improved by replacing the historian’s untrained theological commentary with the carefully crafted insights of a trained theologian or pastor.

Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory. Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technical terms, showing that logic is a powerful and exciting part of modern philosophy.

Deceptive title - poor quality
Revisado: 11-25-24
This book is poorly suited to the audiobook format due to its reliance on charts, which are difficult to convey without visual references. Additionally and more importantly, the title feels deceptive, as the author’s primary aim seems to be targeting impressionable readers and those unversed in philosophy with an attempt to discredit theistic arguments. This intention becomes evident through the repeated presentation of strawman versions of classic theistic arguments, which are then dismantled to suggest that all such arguments have been thoroughly debunked.
An introduction to logic should aim to cultivate critical thinking and avoid perpetuating logical fallacies. Unfortunately, this book does the opposite, relying on flawed reasoning while presenting it as objective fact. This undermines its credibility and reveals what appears to be the author’s true agenda. Even if the intent were not so transparently biased (and it is), the pervasive use of logical fallacies throughout the text renders it unworthy of a higher rating.
