Really more of a two-and-a-half star book. Ostensibly, the purpose of this book is to present and explain the beliefs contained in the Westminster Shorter Catechism. However, Williamson choose a much more partisan path, and uses the book to present his own particular variety of Presbyterianism and his own interpretation of the Catechism, not the text of the Catechism itself. So, for example, according to Williamson, it is not wrong to drink alcohol (believer's freedom), but it is wrong to sing any uninspired songs (i.e., songs that are not psalms) as part of Christian worship (regulative principle), even though the Westminster Catechism does not actually take a position on either issue. He also tends to focus on his particular pet issues--such as the need for Christian schools as opposed to secular public education--which, regardless of whether the reader agrees with him, are not necessary in a discussion of the Westminster Catechism. Williamson is also prone to hyperbole--to such an extent that it damages his credibility with the reader. So, according to Williamson, no doctrine is more clearly taught in the bible than election (I grant that it is clearly taught, but there are many doctrines more clearly taught), and he repeatedly uses words like "obviously" or "clearly" and is generally overly dismissive of opposing viewpoints. As a result, he renders his own opinions more suspect in the mind of a careful reader. (In his defense of infant baptism against those who advocate believer's baptism, he borders on snide.) He also devotes a lot of attention (and an entire Appendix) to the model of prophet-priest-king, not only as illustrated in Christ, but as illustrated in pre-fallen man, corrupted in fallen man, and rectified in salvation. This may be a central teaching of Presbyterianism; I don't know. It was the first time I'd seen such a thing, and it was not immediately apparent to me from the text of the Catechism. The book does include helpful discussions of many challenging biblical principles. The illustrations, though simplistic, are useful and largely well done. Williamson seems to be at his best when explaining the gospel and more abstract theology concepts--the Trinity, the dual nature of Christ, the representative principle (in Adam all sin), etc. When he got into the weeds of practical application, he tended to come across as rigid and puritanical, often without sufficient textual support for his views. Still it would make a good family devotional, if you read with a critical and discerning eye so you can distinguish between what the bible necessarily teaches and what is just Williamson's (or the Westminster Catechism's) interpretation.

Lauren Heller is attacked after she and her husband Roger were out to dinner. When she wakes up in the hospital she finds that Roger has disappeared. Nick Heller is Roger's brother and although he and Roger haven't spoken in years, he is fond of Lauren and her son, Gabe. When they ask for Nick's help, he agrees and finds that Roger works as the CFO of a corporation and investigates corruption. He's found something, according to Lauren and she thinks he may have been kidnapped. When Nick investigates, he finds there is a corporation similiar to Blackwater Corporation. They provide security and mercenaries in countries like Afghanistan and Iraque. They also offer briges to officials and sometimes kickbacks to government types in the USA. Nick continues to search and comes across military looking men who are intent to stop his investigation. There are a number of good action scenes with Nick overcoming these men to continue looking for Roger. He also learns some unexpected things about Roger's past and his relationship with his family. I was entertained and look forward to the next book with Nick Heller, he reminded me of Lee Child's protagonist, Jeak Reacher.

Stayed up until two last night to finish this one, another mystery, another tale of past and present bumping up against each other, I loved it!
I am about 95% of the way through this book and LOVE IT. Page turner, could not stop reading it on my flight to San Francisco. I loved her earlier book, Garden Spells and this one was just as charming. I found myself thinking of the simple moments in life, the interactions between people and how baking someone a cake can just make their day and live in their fondest memories forever. She is one author that I wish would write a LOT more often!! Excellent.
Even if you will never be able to have these great adventures, you can always sip your favoirte wine while reading this.
لم يكن ما يحدث في تلك الرواية بعيداً جداً عمّا يحدث هنا الآن، لم يكن ذلك غريباً أبداً .. كان كل شيء واضح .. هكذا .. واضح جداً. أحببت فكرتها.. فكرة استخدام بعض الرموز كشخصيات .. الأحداث التي حصلت وكيف تم ربطها هكذا .. ثمّ لمَ قصة نوح بالذات؟ رائعة جداً! مُثيرة!

pretty good, pretty interesting. in posing as a man for a year, the author realized that women aren't the only victims of patriarchy. and also how vicious women can be. although, as a lesbian, she already kind of had an idea, methinks.
