Wrestling with God Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am an atheist. For the past year I have attended bible study at Journey, the church founded by Rick Diamond after he left Riverbend Church and after he wrote this book.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Search Engine Optimization Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)At the behest of one of my colleagues, I begrudgingly borrowed this book in preparation to optimize my website.

While it is not comfortable to be...

Frommer's Poland (Frommer's Complete Guides) Review

As a mom,...

Secrets, Sex, and Spectacle: The Rules of Scandal in Japan and the United States Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The cover of this book is a bit of a tease. What lies within is not a breezy bit of titillation, but a footnote-rich book about comparative law.
