"Walking the Bible"

I just purchased two books by Bruce Feiler.  They are Walking the Bible, a Journey by Land through the Five Books of Moses  and Abraham, A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths.  Has anyone else read them?  I went berserk at the bookstore today!  LOL Also got one titled The Noticer by Andy Andrews.  Also got one by Anwar Sadat's wife.  That

"If I Live to be 100"

I just finished reading a pretty amazing book (and found out my sister had read it and loved it too!).  It is titled If I Live to Be 100 and is by Neenah Ellis, formerly a staff producer for NPR's All Things Considered.  It was amazing and also a little terrifying to read these short interviews with people 100 or older.  One of the excerpts from the back of the

More Free the Gospel!

Here is an interesting article (written in 1995!) that might explain a little more of what you are trying to say in your blog.  I still have some reservations about some of it but this might add some meat to your argument. 

Review of The Death of Common Sense

I am going to copy a review here that is about a book, The Death of Common Sense.  That book together with The Tyranny of Good Intentions is one of the best I have seen to show why we have such a mess, why individual responsibility has almost completely gone away in this country.  The problem is:  How do we turn this around?  I was looking at a website last nig
