Book Review

Lies The Government Told You
By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Mr. Napolitano has discovered many interesting observations through research of the US government. Each chapter of his book, “Lies The Government Told You“ describes freedoms that we, the US citizens have lost as a result of government action.
While reading this book and afterward musing its contents, I became angered and disgusted because of the government’s intentional desecration of its people’s rights. The lost freedom described in this book may or may not be reclaimed by the people. Mr. Napolitano emphasizes that he is making us aware so they we may wake up and use the freedom that we still have to make changes necessary to restore our freedom and to protect them from power hungry politicians.
The freedoms that we have lost and those freedoms in danger of losing affect every part of our life. Some freedoms are lost in times of crisis, whether it is of natural or national. Lost freedom is always preceded by government promises that it is best for us.
I won’t go into detail, however, I do recommend this book. You will be surprised at the eye-opening discoveries of our government actions.
Let me make it clear that I think Mr. Napolitano is not against our government as it was intended but angered at individuals and the two party system that has taken advantage of our freedom.

Current Interest

I'm currently reading a book, "Lies the Government Told You" by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano.

A Review of "The Gospel According to Lost"

A Review of "The Gospel According to Lost" by Chris Seay

I assume most people have watched or are aware of the TV program "Lost". Generally, the program is about a crash of a large passenger plane on a very unusual island. Actually, the program is primarily about the interaction of the crash survivors with the island and with those to whom are associated with island.
The author, Chris Seay, is also a Christian pastor. He analyzes the life of each of the main characters of the book with a Christian perspective even though the characters are not of the Christian faith. The characters of Lost are psychoanalyzed by the author suggesting their motives behind their actions. Anyone who is familiar with the Lost TV program will immediately recognize and may agree with the author's perspective of the characters.
Each chapter of the book is dedicated to different characters of the show. With each perspective of the author, he compares the actions or life of the character to a Bible verse or Bible principle.
As a Christian, one may expect that I would be in agreement with the author's perpectives, but honestly I don't agree. Even though the author, in my opnion describes the characters very accurately, I think he compares the lives and actions of the characters inaccurately with scripture.
The author's approach to Christianize Lost is a novelty rather than reality. I did enjoy reading this book because I watch the TV program.

Book Review "Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World"

Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World
Dr. David Jeremiah

Dr. David Jeremiah is a pastor of a Church in California. He provides teaching regularly on radio nationwide. He also authors several other books. I have read many of his books and have listened to his radio program.
This book “Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World” is written appropriately for this current time of crises. With his excellent use of the English language, Dr. Jeremiah uses antidotes for current life chaos using words beginning with the letter “C”. A remedy for each crisis is provided in each chapter of the book.
Dr. Jeremiah gives examples of current crises such as losing jobs and financial institution failures. He advises the reader in each crisis to “stay” calm, compassionate, constructive, etc. Since the Christian believes in the rapture of the Church, Dr. Jeremiah exhorts Christians to “stay” the course.
The reader is encouraged to watch the skies for Christ’s return and to keep faith in Him who can bring us through the chaotic times. Stay confident in God’s Word and don’t give in to the circumstances of life.
Contrary to my first impression, this is not just another psychological self help book. “Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World” offers real advice and comfort to those who will believe Dr. Jeremiah’s recommendations. I highly suggest this book for the sincere reader.
