I agree .

A Glimpse of Grace is a book that speaks to the marvelous reality of God’s grace like no other book has. In it, one learns that the Grace of God is infinitely more than just “unmerited favor”. Grace is God’s unchangeable attitude of everlasting love and forgiveness towards all members of the human race.

I find this book to be interesting the more you go through the book

Prestigious extravagant display of power the best book writer I read the book in 2 days loved it I believe john has become a master

I meant: I got the idea of the author. It's highly genial. But pretty much difficult to expound with a great provision of examples in order to apply the extraordinary concepts within.

Ok you make a statement about best book every written. What about Dante @The divine comedy. Dickens, chaucher. I was a catholic until a so called priest couldn't answer my question WHO Created god and who was the man behind the manetc etc" This is good for fiction. bit of a laugh. By the way the so called hypocritical vATICAN THAT HAS MORE MONEY IN IT'S VAULTS THEN SWITZERLAND WHICH COULD SAVE LIVES IN AFRICA AND IS ANTI-HOMOSEXUAL WHEN THERE IS A BLIND EYE BE TUREND TO THE GAY SEX RING IN THE SO CALLED VATICAN. i AM iRISH AND AM PRO-CHOICE AND CONDOMS WERE NOT FREELY AVAILABLE IN iRELAND UNTIL rICHARD branson sold mates. The so called church said it was a sin. Wrong it prevents unwanted pregenancy and std such as aids. Benjamin Disraeli (pm of UK c 1900) said 'home rule is rome rule' 60% of iris people born in the 70's don't believe because of the bullshit purported written by jesus. Jesus said love your fellow man, The f*cking vatican helped the SS and Gestapo escape after Germany capitualited. Oh yeah, how can so many ethentic people be created from Adam and Eve.

Read dawkings 'The god delusion'

IF Hitler hadn't been born the timeline in space-time curve would change to change the events since 1939. No Korea, no nam, no JFK in essence the history as we know it in our contemporary time would not exist. WWII could actually start in 2009 as an electronic war between giants like microsoft and google. but maybe there would be no computer as Alan Turing invented the universal computer in Bletchley park, no hitler, no alan turning therefore no IT as we know today.

Really worth of reading!!!

It's a great book!

I have never heard of this book, When was your book published. Collector of first editions.

A very excellent book indeed, First editions of this book are increasingly becoming hard to find.

Best book ever written

The book that set me free and saved my life.

I really like this book,it shows me how one person can make a difference in other peoples life.

It shows me how one person can make a difference in other peoples life.

I'm glad I read it at school because it would drive me nuts now, learning that language all over again. Clever book, for all that a 'translation' wouldn't leave much of a story.

Brilliant book, have read several times, and every time I spot the movie on TV I watch again.

Bizarre but interesting!

Loved Tintin, particularly the ones about the moon trip.

Especially, for any Brit, his one about the UK, Notes from a small island. Talk about LMAOROFL.

Wouldn't have stuck with this lot but that a friend recommended them so highly so I read them all. The whole Scandinavian setting was good. At some point they may be edited properly and it will improve them very much because the story is erratic and drags at times, but overall an interesting read.

Loved the first 3, enjoyed the 4, read the others because I wanted to know what happened but they got soooooo dark. The third is probably the best, loved it.

Very interesting, everyone should read it also couples struggling in their relation, I'm a touch person and cuddle addict !!

I found out about 50 Shades via one of the social circles I circulate. It was heavily praised in said circles by the time I learned of it. I of course had to go check it out, my attention grabbed at this point.

Yes I looked it up first, having been told that it was "not everyone's taste", and of course what I found was people reviewing it as "an erotic novel of BDSM", controversial, downright dirty, etc.

Honestly, it couldn't be worse than De Sade's Justine, could it?

As I got further into the book, yes, it made me uncomfortable in a few places, pun both intended and not. By the time I got to the infamous contract, I had started to consider re-evaluating my own sexuality. By the time I got through the contract I had both decided to be more open in my sex life and more honest about it. Not only that but, considering my own intimate life and the contract, I realized that I had a MUCH more solid understand of what I do like, what I don't like, what I'm willing to explore, what I might be willing to explore but am not ready to at this time, and what is PERMANENTLY off limits.

Add to this that I love analyzing life and people, sorry it's in my nature to do so. I found myself intensely interested not only in the story, but also the underlying psyche's of the characters on a level that most of the time, I don't get from reading.

End of the first book, I find myself with mixed feelings about everything, the situation, the people, all of it.

I started reading the second, couldn't wait to pick it up at this point, and immediately I'm irritated, feeling that the author has seriously reduced her writing skill and quality, and pretty much damaged their intelligence and maturity level's integrity. But I keep reading.

And I start to realize that this is WAY more than erotic fiction, or an expose' on not so talked about lifestyles. It's way more than a romance novel. It will, if read in the correct light, make you re-examine the value of unconditional love, what it REALLY means to stand by someone through whatever hell may come. It will make you re-examine your own life and maybe some of your own flaws and "baggage" so to speak. It will make you re-examine your lines, sexually, romantically, socially, and how much and to what extent you will take hardship, period.

I am glad that this was correctly categorized under romance. But I don't think that any categorizing of 50 Shades is going to do it justice. It's true to its name. 50 Shades of Grey, 50 shades of erotica, 50 shades of screwed up, 50 shades of unconditional love, 50 shades of healing, 50 shades of hardship, and 50 shades of relationship dynamics.

Personally the movie trailer looked like it may not do it justice, but I'll of course wait and see. In the mean time I've just started reading the third book with a kind of wonder and breathless anticipation, as par the course by now with this series.

One of the most important books I've ever read! I'm a physical contact / quality time lover :)

From back cover:
With a new Afterword to the 2002 edition, No Logo employs journalistic savvy and personal testament to detail the insidious practices and far-reaching effects of corporate marketing—and the powerful potential of a growing activist sect that will surely alter the course of the 21st century. First published before the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, this is an infuriating, inspiring, and altogether pioneering work of cultural criticism that investigates money, marketing, and the anti-corporate movement.

As global corporations compete for the hearts and wallets of consumers who not only buy their products but willingly advertise them from head to toe—witness today’s schoolbooks, superstores, sporting arenas, and brand-name synergy—a new generation has begun to battle consumerism with its own best weapons. In this provocative, well-written study, a front-line report on that battle, we learn how the Nike swoosh has changed from an athletic status-symbol to a metaphor for sweatshop labor, how teenaged McDonald’s workers are risking their jobs to join the Teamsters, and how “culture jammers” utilize spray paint, computer-hacking acumen, and anti-propagandist wordplay to undercut the slogans and meanings of billboard ads

From back cover:
Hypatia—brilliant mathematician, eloquent Neoplatonist, and a woman renowned for her beauty—was brutally murdered by a mob of Christians in Alexandria in 415. She has been a legend ever since. In this engrossing book, Maria Dzielska searches behind the legend to bring us the real story of Hypatia's life and death, and new insight into her colorful world.

L. Mencken, Albert Einstein, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and many others well-known and lesser known. And they’re all set in context and commented upon as only Christopher Hitchens--“political and literary journalist extraordinaire” (Los Angeles Times)--can. Atheist? Believer? Uncertain? No matter: The Portable Atheist will speak to you and engage you every step of the way.
