1.		The Case for God from Knopf Price: $15.10 Customer Review: Review and critique - beware this is not brief. Intro (p XV) Logos or scientific method attains truth primarily via sensible experience. Author states "We lost the art...of gods walking the earth, dead men striding out of tombs,..." etc. This is the case because these things never... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam from Ballantine Books Price: $5.68 Customer Review: I received a book that was underlined in pencil and ink and highlighted in pink. The book was advertised as new. I am very disappointed in the merchant,The Green Earth, and will not order from them again. The other four books ordered from different merchants arrived as expected.

3.		Islam: A Short History from Modern Library Price: $2.49 Customer Review: The history of Islam is of much debate due to the ambiguity which surrounds it. Many Muslims destroyed non-Muslim libraries and forbade a critical analysis of their cultures. Zoroastrians, Pagans and Bosnians were subjugated to incredibly harsh discriminatory laws which very quickly coerced their... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Spiral Staircase: My Climb Out of Darkness from Anchor Price: $6.00 Customer Review: Karen Armstrong's transition from the convent to academia and writing. A little flat compared to her books on religion.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		A Short History of Myth (Myths, The) from Canongate U.S. Price: $4.50 Customer Review: Karen Armstrong, a world-recognized expert on religion, summarizes the history of the development of myths from pre-historic to modern times in plain easily understandable English. She defines "myth" as attempts to explain through narratives what people see, hear, fear, or yearn for. Myths change... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.	[no image]	The Bible: A Biography (Books That Changed the World) from Grove Press Price: $11.54 Customer Review: I have prayed to God for months for answers to some of my questions. I am a New Christian, and not knowledgeable about the Bible. However, at times I felt disturbed by some verses I found overtly violent, agressive and sexist. After reading this book, I realize that I have been going to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Buddha from Penguin Books Price: $5.82 Customer Review: Karen Armstrong has produced an excellent biography of the Buddha, with adequate attention paid to each stage of his life and apparently meticulously researched in the Pali canon. This should stand as one of the few authenticated biographies of the man who lived 2500 years ago and attained... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions from Anchor Price: $7.97 Customer Review: Some reviewers call this book "magisterial." It is vast in design and intricate in detail. It fills the horizon like a mountain -- or like a cloud? Like a whale or it is very like a weazel? That is the question that I ask, having listened to about eighty percent of the book in Armstrong's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.	[no image]	Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time from HarperOne Price: $14.40 Customer Review: Karen in this book, as far as I read, states many views and explanations of the history of Islam and Prophet Muhammad (peace and prayer be upon him). Some of these views I , as a Muslim, agree with and some I do not. With a western, material view of the religion, she see the situations in... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Battle for God from Ballantine Books Price: $4.60 Customer Review: Armstrong's opening line summarizes the theme of her book. "One of the startling developments of the late 20th century has been the emergence within every major religious tradition of a militant piety known as fundamentalism." She doesn't set off on an attack of religion, but rather explains in her... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		A Time to Keep Silence (New York Review Books Classics) from NYRB Classics Price: $6.98 Customer Review: I am a Benedictine, and I just finished reading A TIME FOR SILENCE by Patrick Leigh Fermer. I am distressed by the fact that he seems to think that Benedict's Rule is strict and severe. "Au contraire!" Of course he was writing before Vatican II, which might account for that impression. I realize... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths from Ballantine Books Price: $10.97 Customer Review: As an ex nun, passionately in love with Arabs on camelback, bedsheets flying in the desert wind, Ms. Armstrong is definitely biased against the Jewish and, by extension, the Christian faiths. Most probably, this is the reason why she abandoned the order and why she is such an ardent proselytizer of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.	[no image]	Through the Narrow Gate from St Martins Pr Price: $17.41 Customer Review: In 1962, young Karen Armstrong, a sincere, earnest spiritual seeker, entered a Catholic convent at age 17 in order to experience God. The 16th-century Ignatian regimen was supposedly designed to empty the nuns of their selves so they could be filled with God. But the highly demanding environment and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		In the Beginning: A New Interpretation of Genesis from Ballantine Books Price: $4.85 Customer Review: WILLING TO FREE YOURSELF FROM A MYTH? READ CAREFULLY THIS BOOK, AND KAREN ARMSTRONG WILL SHOW YOU THAT, IF YOU THINK THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD, IT IS NO MORE THAN THE WORDS OF MANY MEN THAT THOUGHT AND FELT THEMSELVES AS GODS. AND MANY OTHERS, ALONG THE YEARS, TURNED THOSE TALES INTO SACRED... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Tent of Abraham: Stories of Hope and Peace for Jews, Christians, and Muslims from Beacon Press Price: $2.75 Customer Review: This is book that everyone could benefit from reading and that is espically true for Christian, Judaism, and Islam believers. Althought this is a dificult subject, the author writes in an easy to follow style that explains the beliefs of the three religions. I highly recommend this book to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Usborne Illustrated Elementary Math Dictionary (Illustrated Dictionaries) from Usborne Books Price: $8.95	Click here for more information


17.		Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet from Weidenfeld & Nicolson History Price: $6.81 Customer Review: This is a scholarly and comprehensive account of the life of Islam's founder: Muhammad. Armstrong is a skilled writer, weaving together some of the earliest historical material to present a fluent and highly readable narrative. The book is especially useful for modern Western readers as Armstrong... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Holy War from Anchor Price: $7.11 Customer Review: First let me state where I stand. I believe that organized religions (ALL of them) are a mean to achieve power, they are supertribal organizations meant to aggregate peoples to assure access to resources and wealth. The most horrendous, heinous crimes were perpetrated in the name of religions. This... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		The Bible: A Biography (Books That Changed the World) from Atlantic Monthly Press Price: $6.63 Customer Review: Karen Armstong weaves together a tapestry of scholarly biblial research and creates a wonderfully accurate account of how the Hebrew and Greek scriptures came to be witten. And in doing so Christianity is treated no differently than other traditions, but one of many groups seeking to understand the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Francis of Assisi: A Revolutionary Life from Paulist Press Price: $9.67 Customer Review: After visiting Assisi recently, I became fascinated and motivated to learn more about the life of Saint Francis. Most important, I was looking for a biography that would attempt to pierce through legend to find historical facts, while at the same time giving respect to the religious life and saintly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
