Finding Happiness is one of those rare gems of a book that serenely guides you through the trials of modern day life. Father Jamison takes the reader hand in hand to genuine inner joy. "Are monks happy?" His reply, "They are not unhappy." That grabbed me straight away, along with his question about having a happy death! Having never thought about death being happy, on the rare occasions I think about death. I realised that to have a happy death, equates to having a happy and fulfilled life.
With his profound insights, and effective communication, this book remarkably mirrors humanities embedded condition. With such elegance, we're guided through many of the reasons that make us unhappy. Ultimately ... Read More: >>More Details |

The author of this book, Sir Roy Strong, former Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, is also a broadcaster, and has written a number of bestselling books which include The Story of Britain, The Cult of Elizabeth and The Spirit of Britain.
This book attempts to narrate the complex history and development of the English parish church "...from the first buildings erected in Anglo-Saxon times to its uncertain future in the twenty-first century." That is to undertake quite a task and the author has made a jolly good job of it! The book has been described as a "richly illustrated elegy, and a plea for the preservation of the country church." Indeed, Strong's book really is both at once ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Best Christmas Present in the Worldby: Michael Morpurgo October 04, 2004 Best Selling > Books > Religious History |

|
I bought this book on the strength of the reviews and although it's ok, it's not as awe inspiring as it's made out to be. It's a useful book for youngsters who aren't aware of the cease fire on Christmas Eve during the 1st World War and that in itself is heart warming, but the ending isn't what it could be and leaves one feeling a little flat.

Empires of the Sea: The Final Battle for the Mediterranean, 1521-1580by: Roger Crowley May 01, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Religious History |
List Price: £20.00 Vegetarian Books Price: £12.00 You Save: £8.00 (40%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.92 |

Crowley does an extraordinary job putting together three extraordinary stories that marked the 16th Century in the Mediterranean: The siege of Rhodes, the siege of Malta, and the Battle of Lepanto. These stories, especially that of the siege of Malta, makes the book read like a novel, most enthralling and nail biting.
Although Crowley has written a very accurate and detailed account of these clashes between the Christian and Muslim worlds, one gets the impression, that he tends to minimize the role of Christian leaders, their armies and the importance of their victories, and maximizes that of the Ottoman side. For example, he doesn't give much importance to the conquest of Tunis by Emperor Charles V, while he gets to the detail with other minor ... Read More: >>More Details |

Will you ever travel on the underground again without constantly looking over your shoulder? Not after reading this! Lots and lots of well written stories about ghosts and unexplained happenings in the London Underground. Atmospheric and well detailed, this is the perfect reading material for curling up on cold winter nights in front of the fire. Would make a good Christmas gift for the discerning ghost story fan. I have read numerous books about haunted sites, and this one certainly does not disappoint. Highly recommended.

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divineby: Alister McGrath, Joanna Collicutt McGrath February 16, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Religious History |
List Price: £7.99 Vegetarian Books Price: £5.99 You Save: £2.00 (25%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.91 |

I enjoyed reading McGrath's book because it is an almost surgically precise critique of the main thrusts in Dawkins' "God Delusion". It is short and easy to read but perhaps a bit pricey for what is an extended essay. Although I found Dawkins' book stimulating, I found this book useful to restoring a sense of balance in the arguments. McGrath concedes that Dawkins makes some valid points (e.g. on violence in the name of religions) but is equally robust (though less aggressive) about making his case.
