Patience of a Saint: God with a Cosmic Baseball Bat
Byjevlir September 18, 2006
I love books by Andrew Greeley, and this one is no exception. It’s way out of date, copyright in 1983, and in fact can only be found used on Amazon.com, but I generally write on this blog about what I’m reading right now, and this is one book. In the scattered way in which I…

Book: Out on a Limb
Byjevlir July 27, 2006
With an endorsement on the front cover from Elizabeth Peters, and another on the back that said, “She’s hilarious . . .” I had hopes for this mystery novel. After reading it, however, I have to rate it a 3 out of 5. I do find some of the characters engaging and interesting, but the…

Book: Unashamed
Byjevlir September 16, 2007
My wife handed me this book because she has been trying to get me to read one of [tag]Francine Rivers[/tag]’ stories about various Bible characters. I’m generally a bit slow to pick up this sort of book because production of a good story is very difficult. On the one hand you can stick closely to…

Book: Danger in the Shadows
Byjevlir January 4, 2007
I tend not to like books that have too blatant of a spiritual purpose. If a book is written to teach a lesson, I don’t like it. If it’s written to entertain, and happens to teach one or more lessons, I’m happy. I don’t mind if the characters are people of faith and that this…

Swipe Board and Encore in Death
Byjevlir February 14, 2023
Just after I finished reading the latest In Death book, Encore in Death, Amazon pushed an ad to me for what looks like a swipe board. I’m sure this can’t be related. If I was doing office presentations, I think I’d love this, but then, unlike Eve Dallas, I love tech! Speaking of which, I…
