Sunday, September 26, 2010 ![]() Has Christianity Failed You? is an intellectually stimulating and comforting read for christians that are struggling with faith. It addresses issues whether rational or emotional ones in a logical yet empathetic fashion. At the same time, It rationally expounded on the logical concerns of Christians in a complex world founded concurrently on existentialism, materialism and rationalism. Some of the perspectives explored were highly intriguing and thought provoking. I think Ravi Zacharias is the medicine for any christian person fighting their trolls of unsubstantiated reason and battles of the relativist society that permeates so readily into the spheres of education and philosophical inquiry. I will not say that Ravi has solved all my immediate questions. But at the very least, he prevents me from drawing premature assumptions and judgments on a faith i am not completely acquainted with. Thursday, September 23, 2010 My first comprehensive encounter with Nietzsche. I had been an admirer of Nietzsche's existentialist ideologies for a long time. But hadn't got around to reading any of his works. Because 1) I had so many books on my shelf that i have yet to finish 2) I tried reading it on the iphone and found it to be extremely dense. My encounter with Introducing Nietzsche however, stirred my interest in Nietzsche again. Once i get my Amazon Kindle, i will make sure i download a couple of free Nietzsche books. I am particularly interested in the following titles mentioned in the book Genealogy of Morality Beyond Good and Evil Thus Spake Zarathusa I have yet to read enough of philosophy to give a critical evaluation of the book. But overall, the book has been enjoyable. Some philosophers to explore: Jean Paul Sartre Freud Sunday, September 19, 2010 This book reads like a fresh breath of air. It puts complex economic concepts and relations into a forms of simple analogies, interesting solutions, diverse perspectives. I will not say that it is an intellectually enriching book. But it is definitely a book that widens one's understanding of the world and one that allows people to consider alternative solutions to long-standing problems. Outstanding for its fun, humor and rich range of well-researched facts and knowledge. Ratings: 4/5 Friday, September 3, 2010 No.12 and 13 Mere Christianity: Interesting arguments and insights in the beginning. but gets droning towards the end... when it shifts its position to one that is fully theist and christian. The Girl with Dragon Tattoo: WHOA WHOA WHOA! this book brought me a hell of a ride. This is thriller at its best. Rather unexpected murder motive. |
