Adjusting Sights

This is a thinly fictionalised account of a young man’s experience in war. It was the Arab-Israeli war of 1973–the Yom Kippur war–and our narrator is suddenly called from the innocent life of a Yeshiva student to be a tank driver in the Golan Heights. The experience will change him forever. Friends from the neighbourhood […]

A Lantern in Her Hand

This was one of the most heartwarming, touching, most precious stories Ive ever read. What I loved most about it(apart from the lovely and poetical way of writing), was how Aldrich wrote the story of Abbys whole life, and not just the romance era like most authors do. I never would have considered that old […]

A Landing on the Sun A Novel

With its enticing blend of s*x, death, Establishment politics and academic philosophy (in this case the theory of happiness), the setup for this intriguing novel sounds like something by Ian McEwan. But Frayn brings to it his trademark sense of humour, so it never quite gets into the same territory. The comic aspects of an […]

For Christians, grief is an especially tough time, taking them through cycles of questions about whether or not God really does love us when such […]

A Grain of Wheat

This book was very interesting.Despite Nguguis flashback format A Grain Of Wheat is certainly an attention keeper. Kenya at the brink of Uhuru (freedom) from the British, as experienced through the eyes of some interesting and greatly entertaining characters. Amazingly in the midst of this historical event the story is filled with love and betrayal. […]

125 Key Terms For The Philosophers Lexicon

Of Mortimer J. Adlers works, this is the least one that I have liked. Partly written when this author was converting to an organized religion, his artticles reflect his new clouded thinking. Furthermore when he reflects upon pain and pleasure he is dead wrong. He separates the two as one that has neurological centers and […]
