121.Ghost Stations: Bk. 4: True Ghost Stories: Bk. 4 by: Bruce Barrymore Halpenny

Books : Ghost Stations: Bk. 4: True Ghost Stories: Bk. 4


I bought this book in 1988 when I had just arrived at RAF Scampton as a pilot officer. The book was bought on a Saturday and I read it that night. The mess was rather empty and with the wind blowing and windows rattling, it was a somewhat sleepless night. I still think the first book is outstanding, the second was good but then as previous reviewer stated, I think the books went downhill. Its a shame as I bought them all on the offchance that they might improve again and also that I met Mr Halfpenny in Lincoln purely by chance. On a number of occassions I ventured to many of the old airfields at night and despite a couple of strange experiences, nothing major to report. As I said, great first book, remainder ruined by the author's politics.

'You are no longer a victim, you are a victor!' 'The techniques herein, however, should not preclude obtaining professional assistance, whether we are talking about the need to notify the police, a counselor, or medical professionals.' 'Throwing magick at a problem or goal isn't the ultimate solution to all of our difficulties.' 'Like the famous guy says, "Don't sweat the small stuff".'

While I find this refreshing coming from Silver Ravenwolf, and commend her on placing this most valuable common sense in the front of her book, I wish she would have focused more on this kind of wisdom throughout her book rather than offering the 'book designed to teach you how to prevent bad things from occurring and how to protect yourself should you ...

Books : Inside Narnia: A Guide to Exploring 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) is remembered for two things - his great works of Christian theology (Mere Christianity, The Great Divorce, and many more) and his Chronicles of Narnia books. Now, many books have been published on the theology of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (TLWW), but this book looks at TLWW as a work of literature. Going through TLWW chapter by chapter, and indeed section by section, Dr. Devin G. Brown (professor of English at Asbury College, Wilmore, Kentucky), gives the reader a fascinating commentary on what is happening and what it means.

I must say that this is a surprisingly fascinating book! The author begins with the dedication at the beginning of TLWW, and goes through the entirety of the book, explaining ... Read More:

Rodney Stark has written a book that every history and sociology student should read. It's also a great resource for Christians wishing to research the triumphs and some of the mistakes that have been carried out in God's name. I would also recommend it to aficionados of Religion like Dan Brown fans and people who love a conspiracy!

The book deals with three topics over which there is much controversy and confusion. With tons of research and great sensitivity Stark separates truth from error and presents his own reasoned arguments. The careful reader is left with a much clearer picture of why the God of Christianity in particular has been such catalyst for change and shaped history so dramatically.

The book is easy to read, ... Read More:
