Richard T. Schaefer

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2006

Great Sociology Book
When I bought this book I was a Sociology major. Since then I have changed my major, but I will keep this book forever. Although we were assigned readings in class, I rarely did so, but when I did I was intrigued. This is a well written easy to follow book. I would ...

The Mystical City of God: A Popular Abridgement of the Divine History and Life of the Virgin Mother of God

Mary of Agreda

Tan Books, 1978

Amazing
This is a truly beautiful book, providing background details on the life of the Holy Virgin Mary and the creation of the universe. The most amazing part about this book is that the details make so much sense and are so logical, yet are so intricate and colorful, that ...

The Divine Life of the Most Holy Virgin: Being an Abridgement of the Mystical City of God

Venerable Mary of Agreda

Tan Books & Publishers, 1997

Insightful Reading
I am writing this review as both a Catholic who has read the book and because I take great exception to the review by Ms Liouzis who gave the book one star. As Catholics, we are not required to believe private revelations or even appearances by the Blessed Virgin, so ...

A Study of History: Abridgement of Volumes VII-X (Vol 7-10)

Arnold J. Toynbee

Oxford University Press, USA, 1987

invaluable insights
Yes, Toynbee's point of view is a bit archaic. Yes, there are more detailed, more comprehensive studies of history done since his work. And, yes, even the abridgment is heavy reading. But the overview of civilizational development and decline done by Toynbee is ...

The 100-Minute Bible

Michael Hinton

Chronicle Books, 2007

Sound Silly? It's not! This handy paperback is a great little tool for Bible Study
I'll admit it. After decades of covering the realm of religion as a journalist, I thought I'd seen just about every style of Bible imaginable -- even Bibles reduced to microdots on credit-card-sized rectangles of plastic! So, when I heard that Chronicle Books was ...

A Study of History Abridgement of Volumes I-VI

Arnold J. Toynbee

Oxford University Press, USA, 1987

Magnificant
The reason why I am giving it five stars is that I cant give it 10! I didnt read the abridgement. Im still reading the actual 10 volumes. I just finished the fourth. I first came across this book while I was reading a book for Ali Shariati. Ali Shariati is usually ...
