I'm not a big reader and usually give up on a book if it doesn't draw me in, in the first few pages but I could relate to the editorial on the back page and wanted to read on.

The thought of leaving our mundane jobs and paying bills, to seek adventure in foreign lands, always returns to haunt us through different stages of our lives. I did just that years ago, but only lasted six weeks until the money ran out and couldn't find work. That six weeks seemed like six months, as there is so much to explore when your mobile, with no responsibilities or demands for rent and bills. Just the richness of life.

In some ways it's always nice to come back home and make a new nest, you appreciate what you have again for a while, until you get fidgety again.

This book encapsulates the struggles and dreams we all face in our own little worlds. The author draws you into his mind and deepest thoughts in a whirl wind of poetry, through the cobwebs of his past and the determination for a better future.

The first few pages are quite heavy but I would recommend you persevere as you start to unravel his complex mind.

Great book and a real achievement Christopher Pusey!

this book is sooo chilled! basically it documents the travelles of chris and trudy as they go on a jouney round spain.its approach is beautiful,humourous and meandering,quite different to anything ive read in a while.i stupidly thought that books about travel would be sort of tourism advertisments,but puseys narrative record of his relationship with trudy,whats around him, and the people they meet is humourous,reflective an tinged with dreamlike stoned insight.this is definetly a book to read sitting outside with a cup of coffee and if its to your liking,maybe a joint or two and just get drawn into the atmospheric,but completly down to earth and a sweetly tongue in cheek adventures.this book kicks [butt] for a first time author and also much appreiciated are the beautiful poetry extracts and cover painting,completing the vibe of chilled outness and also honest art.i just loved it

I've just finished reading Eh? Is for Ants - what a book! It has everything - travel, love, drugs, moonlight, manic depression, utopian bliss when all is candy, beaches, poetry heatstroke, poo-stroke, nudist strokes, tents and tense situations, good art, bad art and, occasionally, ants.
What is it? Basically a travelogue based in Spain, but then again, it's a full on romance, a planned and daring escape epic from a life of work, playstaton games and dope, to a life of...well, work, gameboy games and dope - which luckily enough leads to a fantastically moving suicidal finale - otherwise this true story may well be still in the writng.
Why the title about ants? - Main characters, Chris and Trudy from Inverness, Scotland have no idea what life is all about, but the millions of ants in Spain, Portugal and Morocco seem to have it sussed: leave it to them, take a holiday.
And the suicidal end? Trudy is on the run from mental institutions which is where she ultimately ends up. Things get a little close to the edge.
True story - Yes, allegedly.
In a few words - funny, moving, inspiraional, sensual and stoned.
Rating - five stars, read it - it's gonna be more massive than On the Road.

I had a lot of questions about the Godhead. The Lord used this book to answer everyone of them.

This book is about 100 years old now, but the many truths expressed in this book are truly timeless. I found much of the material in this book to be just as relevant today as it has ever been, with almost none of the material being dated at all. This is truly one of the preeminent books on the truth of Trinitarianism.

In this book, Bickersteth attempts to demonstrate the truth of the Trinity by showing the personhood and deity, as articulated in Scripture, of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In this book, Bickersteth brutally refutes various objections to Trinitarianism, mainly voiced by the Unitarians of his day. In the end, the reader is left with a comprehensive sense that to deny Trinitarianism is to make a mockery of Scripture, since the Bible exhaustively demonstrates the truth of the Trinity.

Among many highlights in this book, the biggest is clearly Bickersteth's exhaustive Scripture examination and comparison. In the chapters where he attempts to establish the coequal deity of the Son with the Father, Bickersteth analyzes and compares over 100 Scripture passages to show that the same phraseology that is used in Scripture to establish the divinity of the Father is also used to establish the divinity of the Son. Bickersteth goes on to conduct a similar Scripture comparison in demonstrating the divinity of the Holy Spirit. Bickersteth, in addition to establishing the divinity of the three persons of the Godhead, also effectively demonstrates that each Person is unique, personal, and in possession of an individual will, though the wills of all three are in perfect unison. This effectively heads off the assertion that Father, Son, and Spirit are merely three manifestations of the same person, rather than "three who's of one what". Oneness pentecostalism is one of the many movements that argues in favor of the three manifestations concept, but this book effectively shows that in order to truly embrace this idea, one has to conduct major spiritual gymnastics in order to get away from what Scripture clearly teaches on this point.

The only area of this book that I thought could have been improved concerned the functional subordination aspect of Trinitarianism seen in Scripture. Bickersteth does touch on this in a couple of places, but not exhaustively. The coequality aspect of Trinitarianism is a difficult concept to understand in light of the offices each Person appears to hold. But what should be clear from Bickersteth's book is that without regard to roles, each Person of the Godhead is equally divine and equally due our worship as a matter of ontology.

But with the exception of this one regret where I wish Bickersteth had been more thorough, this book is truly a classic on Trinitarianism that has stood the test of time, mainly because the truths it depicts are timeless and eternal. This is a must read for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the truth of Trinitarianism and how to combat objections with massive amounts of Scriptural support.

Edward Bickersteth does an excellent job defending the doctrine of the Trinity from the Scriptures. It is written on a laymans level and is able to help those who have questions regarding this doctrine.

Mr. Bickersteth is writing specifically to Unitarians friends as he reaches out to them and seeks to convey the Scriptural teaching. This book will be just as helpful to those seeking to reach Jehovah's Witnesses or Christadelphians.

This writer found it extremely helpful as he sought encouragement after separating himself from Jehovah's Witnesses. I recommend it heartily.

Orkin provides a hysterical twist and satirical work on Canadian English. It promotes the glory of Canada and the foolishness of the U.S. As an American, I found it hysterical to be referred to as the "Hugh Ess!" A must read for both Canadians and Americans.

Plato taught that God has no name (Timaios 28b,c). Philo, the Gnostics, Justin Martyr, and Clement of Alexandria likewise considered God nameless or unnameable. However, Jerome, translator of the Latin Vulgate, wrote in his Prologus Galeatus: "And we find the name of God, the Tetragram, in certain Greek volumes even to this day expressed in ancient letters." Due to the fact that these Hebrew letters were consonants, and there were originally no written characters for the vowels, it is held that the pronunciation of God's name is lost to us. Or it is thought God's name should be pronounced "Yahweh" due to the weight attached to the evidence of the Egyptian Elephantine Papyri. Gerard Gertoux in quite convincing fashion demonstrates the inaccuracy of these concepts in the light of compelling linguistic and historical evidence. Gertoux asks (p.114), "Was there really a prohibition on pronouncing the Tetragram in the first century? The answer is no, as, according to the Talmud this prohibition appeared from the middle of the second century." Gertoux readily exposes a solidly entrenched factoid (p.3): "that Jehovah is a barbarism originating from a wrong reading. As unbelievable as it may seem, this last affirmation is known to be false among scholars. This crude error has been denounced by Hebraists of all confessions, and with the support of the Vatican's Congregation of propaganda, but without result." Worthwhile reading, for as Gertoux quotes Maimonides, "it is impossible to have a deep relationship with a nameless God."

All the players and all the stats and what happened to the players, hockey books don't get more informative than that. Great pictures as well.

A hilarious little read! I think i woke most my fellow flyers on a recent flight back, ironically, from Boston. I couldn't put it down. I don't know what I enjoyed more, a Canadian's view of an American, or an American's interpretation of a Canadian.
Eh-Mail's sure to chisel an overdue smile onto your face!

J. Marshall Craig's charming book, Eh Mail, is a fast, funny and vividly voyeristic read consisting entirely of e-mail correspondence between an American intelligence agent stationed in Canada, his wife and sister in his hometown of Boston and his CIA supervisor in Washington, DC.
Predictably, the laugh riot correspondence chronicles, with both astonishment, contempt and a nano-drop of grudging admiration, the Canadian way of life: Ottawa winters (long and cold), health care (universal and free), Canadian cuisine (including such French Canadian delicacies as poutine and tortier), strong beer(Moosehead), government funding of the arts (vigorous) and the lack of non-stop flights to Edmonton, Alberta ("a radically right-wing Canadian version of Texas"), where local newspaper columnists "loudly and defensively proclaim" their satisfaction with living there.
Any Canadian living in US will laugh out loud at agent Avery Beckett's voyage of discovery north of the 49th parallel. (No, Toronto is not the capital of Canada. Yes, Raymond Burr, Alex Trebeck, Jim Carrey, Peter Jennings and Michael J. Fox were all born in Canada.) And everyone will be tickled by the clever humor and ubiquitous references to the many Canucks in Hollywood.

Canadians have been the brunt of allot of jokes. Second City comics made a living from sketches that raked the absurd nature of the evolved colloquial jargon, now Craig takes things on to the 21st century. Funny and witty this book will get you giggling. What a relief in these troubled times, eh.
