Cody Cook (8 KP) rated Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions in Books
Jun 29, 2018
Good popular level book on defending one's positions, particularly for Christians. Certain political biases come through, but don't take away from the helpfulness of the book.

I have seen so many films like this that rely on political commentary in an inappropriate way, so I've come up with an outline that I will be filling out as a review for all of them.
Dear Black Christmas, if you are going to use political commentary as your main talking and plot point, it is essential that you use it in a classy and substance filled way. You did not do that, so please fade away into eternity. I especially didn't like the Brett Kavanaugh line, so please get over yourself and make your political commentary make sense. I root for you guys, but you make it very hard.

A political thriller that starts well and asks some relevant questions. Has a slight twist and some good actors on show but overall left too many questions unanswered.

Crystal (9 KP) rated Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide in Books
Jul 4, 2018
Was good for some specific examples of how women are treated in third world countries. But in my opinion this is mainly ethnocentric, can feel 'preachy', and unnecessarily political at times.

Heartbreaking but breathtaking
This book broke me. sometimes you read a book and sit there going that's a great story sometime you read a book and go that a great character. Once in a while you come across a story that supersedes that. This book may appeal to people for political reasons but it should appeal to everybody not on a political level but on a human one. This book is stunning in a heartbreaking way.
