The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical
Shane Claiborne
Zondervan
, 2006
A Bold Resistance to the Status Quo
Shane "gets it," despite what some intelligent, well-meaning reviews/reviewers suggest. God is not something "out there" waiting to judge, condemn and/or save believers and cast into hell the non-believers. God is in our action. In our kneeling eye-level comfort of a ...
Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope
Brian McLaren
Thomas Nelson
, 2007
Jesus Right, not Jesus Lite
In "Everything Must Change", Brian McLaren eloquently expresses what I've felt about Jesus' message, and the manipulation of that message, since middle school. With historical research, political savvy, and personal experience, McLaren thoroughly documents the ways in ...
Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
Joseph J. Ellis
Vintage
, 2002
A tasteful look into each of those fascinating men
In the afterglow of the HBO series on John Adams, I grew interested in some of the founding fathers, many of whom had seemed boring to me ever since I read their bios in grade school. Ellis does a highly intelligent and readable job of laying out the personalities, ...

Book review
I like Jesse, and found the book to be interesting. Book was delivered in a timely manner, was very pleased. Thank You

Kenneth C. Davis
Collins
, 2008
So Much More Interesting Than What You Think You Know
Kenneth Davis knows that history is complicated. American history textbooks and oral history give us perfect role models in our historical figures and an unfolding story in which we were always on the side of right and any bad things that happened were the other ...
The Revolution
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
Should be said more often
The fact that our government has strayed so far from what was originally intended and moreover, that we citizens have let it happen and not question it is a hard pill to swallow, but needs to be acknowledged nonetheless. Ron Paul does an amazing job of outlining some ...

Alice Waters
Clarkson Potter
, 2007
My Desert Island Cookbook
I choose cookbooks very carefully, I take it quite seriously. If I could only keep one, it would be The Art of Simple Food. The best version of everything. Give it as a wedding or house warming gift.
The Revolution: A Manifesto
Ron Paul
Grand Central Publishing
, 2008
Excellent Intro to Austrian Economics
This is a wonderful introduction to some of the core principles of Austrian economics. For those who want to go deeper in the study of Austrian economics I recommend Human Action: A Treatise on Economics.
1776
David McCullough
Simon & Schuster
, 2006
Intriguing
A very well written book full of life and history. Very few writers can put together a historical moment without making it look like a text book. I felt as though I was living in the moment looking around me, even feeling the temperature. The book draws you in. Great ...
A Tale of Two Cities (Penguin Classics)
Charles Dickens
Penguin Classics
, 2003
Long. Boring.
Perhaps it's my lack of enthusiam for classic English literature, but I found this book dull and very unamusing. I purchased this because my English teacher wanted us to read it, and while I don't regret buying it, I highly doubt I'm going to read it again. Though, ...
Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
Walter Isaacson
Simon & Schuster
, 2004
Wonderfully Written
Walter Isaacson writes history so that it reads like an excellent, exciting novel. This biography is a page-turner. Moreover, the author writes with subtle humor. Isaacson's research is accurate and extensive, which makes it even more amazing that the book does ...
V for Vendetta
Alan Moore
,
David Lloyd
Vertigo
, 1995
Freedom, Self-Rule, and the Government
The most interesting thing about "V for Vendetta" is that the main theme of the novel isn't actually one man standing up to Fascism, though that's an aspect of it. The more relevant political theme is Anarchism, though it's still only partly about that. The primary ...
Alexander Hamilton

Penguin Press
, 2004
Epic and Monumental
After an unlikely escape from the backwaters of the colonial Caribbean, Alexander Hamilton fought in the American Revolution as a young firebrand, supported the U.S. Constitution as a brilliant author and New York lawyer, and poured his formidable genius and energy ...
