Sztokman's extremely compelling study of the growing worldwide phenomenon of the marginalization of women uses Israel as its test case to prove how religious fundamentalism is more insidious than we can imagine.

Provides a great depth of research on the current educational system in Australia (1 more)
Acknowledges the validity of a plethora of religious traditions rather than just the prominent Christianity
Is in a sense repetitive and dry through its explanations of the nations educational and religious landscapes (0 more)
Deepening understanding can never hurt
Overall, I found this book to be insightful not only in relation to the nations current educational situation but also in the way that we, as a society, tend to treat religion. I believe that this is a book that is better read a chapter or two at a time rather than in one sitting due to the depth of research contained within its pages.

This was a very interesting read. It is a compilation of, primarily, two essays directed at the women of the Restoration and Revolution period in London, England. While it mainly speaks to women to be more free in their religions, it also talks about women's political freedoms. This seems to be an early feminist essay which calls to give women more power over their lives.

I did enjoy the first essay more than I did the second because the second got a lot more religious and quite repetitive. But it was still interesting.

If you are interested in early feminist lit or in religious literature, check this book out. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it.

It'll make you cry
This is a religious based movie, but I think anyone would enjoy it. While the religious beliefs of the main characters play an important role in the movie many of the underlying themes stand out drastically. This movie also deals with moving forward after a tragedy, and being aware of ones own privilege. Even though each of the three families live drastically different lives they all had struggles that they had to overcome. Watching each family connect with one another and overcome challenges made this an overall enjoyable movie. This movie also shows that the world is truly a small place, with many of the events being almost unbelievable.

Chrissy Metz carries the film and acts her butt off. (0 more)
A little heavy-handed with the religious propaganda. (0 more)
Good movie. Recommend for believers and non-believers alike.
This movie was a pleasant surprise. Ending up watching it on a whim with my sister who loves any movie based on a true story. And, yes, while the film is very heavy-handed with the religious propaganda, it's understandable given the film's circumstances. Truly a very emotionally gripping story led by a truly outstanding performance by Chrissy Metz. Seriously, she carries the film and acts her butt off. The rest of the surprisingly all-star cast play their role well. Would definitely recommend for believers and non-believers alike.
