Tuesday is for reviews here at Discerning Reader. We have five for you this week.
Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore is a touching account of the growing friendship between two men who ought to have been worlds apart. Also new in biographies is This Most Famous Man in America by Debby Applegate. This review won a Pulitzer prize in the biography category. Yet we didn't consider it worthy of that honor.
Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death is, despite being over twenty years old, as timely as ever. We review the "20th Anniversary Edition" and agree that this book is worthy of the monicker classic. Everlasting Dominion by Eugene Merrill is, according to our reviewer, destined to become a classic in the field of Old Testament theology.
And finally, we have a review of The Secret Rhonda Byrne's mega-selling New Age book that has soared to the top of the bestseller lists.
We'll be back next week with reviews of one book we had hoped to review this week (a Christian title that is gaining all kinds of press) along with a title that tells us the world is descending into the miscellaneous and that this is a good thing. And we'll have a few more as well. Check in on Thursday to see what our Bookworm Reviewers are up to as well!
