Thanks for this listing. I would like to read the book about Karl Marx, but there are so many books and too little time!
Tom you are “on the mark” here about how there are so many books and so little time! By the way thank you for rescuing my comments earlier on your blog. Sometimes I open up your post on my laptop so I remember to read it later and then I go about my ministry. It seems when its hours later when I finally read and comment WordPress thinks I’m a spammer! But here WordPress is “off the Mark” and should get low marks for it lol.
Sorry about that! I will remember to check my spam file daily because it’s happened with others. Speaking of books, I just started reading a book by a conservative Catholic journalist who rips apart the American Catholic bishops and the Vatican for their part in this current abuse mega-scandal. A book like this would have been unimaginable just twenty years ago.
What Tom said! Course, part of my problem is that I’m such a slow reader. Sometimes (in a particularly informative book) I even have to outline chapters to make sure I comprehend it.
When I read I do have to take notes and even mini outlines so we’re on the same boat! I always feel I wish I can read more…but life is so busy! By the way I can’t wait for you to pick up with the comics again
I’ve got most of the next page done. The backgrounds slowed me down a little. That, and a few corrections to the “GlymyreScape Player’s Manual”. My son suggested a few changes which I had been considering as well, so the book should be available again in a few weeks. On the other hand, the next page of “Glymyre Tales” should be up next week.
Wow there is a Presuppositional critique of Marxism!
You really read a lot on Presuppositioal apologetics over the years
Thanks for looking up those past reviews I enjoy Presuppositional apologetics!
Obviously
I recommend Jason Lisle’s book!
I do too very good book by Lisle
I’m interested in the ultimate proof. Maybe I’ll look into reading that one.
I am too!
I want to read the ultimate proof
Seems like the first book is the People’s Choice (most popular) from the comments.
