A clear understanding

I think Chris White does a great job of taking his time and really looking at the other parts of the scriptures and putting them together. I like reading his thought process on others thoughts and how he got to his.

This is my first book on mindfulness. After being only about 100 pages into it, I can say its clear, readable and practical. I don't believe in past lives or that the self is a illusion or a delusion like the book says. And I was put off by the recurring statement that mindfulness meditation enables one to see reality as it is. But while I have doubts about mindfulness meditation leading to seeing the ultimate reality of life or the universe, getting passed barriers of repression, and the storms of insecurity, anxiety, lust, greed, etc and seeing clearer one's own psychological truth seems quite possible, at least that's what I'm hoping for. So there you go, a few comments from an absolute beginner at mindfulness mediation who needs calmness and clarity and hopes there's some of that here.

Compared to other editions of the B. Gita, this one by H.D. Goswami is clear about the meaning of the philosophy that the Gita is teaching about. I'm not very philosophical but I could understand it. It's in plain English and straightforward!

This is a good lecture on Aquinas that opens the reader to a clear understanding of the subject without being confusing or abstract. Take your time and read slowly. This is not a quick read but it is a good one.

This text offers a well-guided clear understanding of TCP/IP and its design motivations.  The nature of the text is best suited to readers with little or no networking background, and who actually want to understand TCP/IP (as opposed to just know about it).  The author makes a point to explain why the designers of the protocols did things the way they did, the histories behind decisions and developments, the advantages and disadvantages of certain features and how everything fits together.  These explanations obviously lengthen the text, but it is perfect if you are committed to understanding TCP/IP properly.  The author's style is quite direct, easy to read, and makes sense.

It's a very comprehensive text--some might argue too comprehensive!  This isn't a how-to guide and doesn't claim to be.  Some of the drier parts can get dry, but when describing a packet format you can't really avoid that, and you can always skip those parts (though I found persevering through them helped my understanding too).  I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand the protocols of the Internet.

Joshua Jost has written a clear and concise overview of the Bible, from the Creation through the death and resurrection of Jesus.  He begins each chapter with a short drama featuring the person from the Bible he is featuring in that section and then goes on to explain the important events that occurred at that time.  Since this is a short book, he mentions the most significant occurrences such as the Creation, the Garden of Eden, the important prophets, the Babylonian captivity, and the life of Jesus.  He gives a clear picture of the many facets of God's love, including both His grace and His judgment.  This book could serve as a clear picture of the Gospel for an unbeliever, a source of information for new believers, and an inspiring review of God's relationship with his people for the more mature Christian.

This book offers a clear explanation of Karma primarily from the Buddhist perspective.  I appreciated the comparison and distinctions made between the Buddhist and Hindu view of Karma as well as other aspects on various Buddhist ideology-particular a concise discussion on emptiness.  Its a quick read, clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend it.

This book added much to my hermeneutical understanding of scripture. The author's intent to share the depth of revelation presented in the narrative portions of scripture affected my confidence in the cohesiveness of the scriptures. I appreciated the clear presentation of the deeper meaning of the biblical narrative in the telling of the salvation story and I was awakened to the reality of the revealing of God's nature in the overall story-lines of the narratives.  To summarize the message that struck me most: Through the narratives we learn that God's nature is to speak... and what He says happens. It is clearly presented that people are indeed fallen, in need of a God who is aware of and faithful to the big picture, and with them in the day to day dealings of the community. He is with them and they find Him as they search for Him.
  The key concept of the book is that since Torah is by definition the books of the Law, the narrative included in them must contain ethical messages. Genesis and Judges are used as examples of how ethics are taught through this narrative genre. It is pointed out that this is normal for Classical narrative. Moral education through the telling of stories is widespread. So, all of Torah contains not just theology but ethics as well.
  Proper biblical interpretation is discussed. It is stressed that every author wishes to convey a certain meaning. Discovering the intended meaning is a large part of the reader's responsibility. This takes extra skill when it comes to the Bible, since the original audience and modern readers are so far apart in culture and circumstance.
  To this end, general principles for the ethical interpretation of the Old Testament using standard methods of historical, literary and rhetorical criticism are stressed. These methods will help reveal the author's intended meaning in each section and the cohesive message of the entire book.

A very clear and easy to understand book.  The concepts are simple yet not easy to put into practice which makes it an important book to read over and over. A good reminder as to how to live life.

This text is an excellent read for anyone seeking to further their knowledge in this direction. It clearly addresses preconceived notions that exist regarding the organization as well as societal misconceptions of the institution's intentions.

Reading this text allows one to understand the importance and necessity for this organization to exist and how it has been benefiting humankind. One begins to understand how and why society is structured as it is and that things are the way they are to either make life easier or to push individuals to strengthen themselves to a higher state of being and human potential.

By the end of the text, one can gain an understanding of what direction society is going in. It is not dark nor is it bleak but quite the contrary. It is an encouraging, uplifting read that opens your perspective on yourself and the world around you.

For me, as a person, I find comfort in knowing that the organization has the knowledge and capacity to move people's lives forward in their professional, personal and spiritual endeavors while working to ensure the safety of the inhabitants of this planet. One may find this to be somewhat difficult to comprehend off-the-bat, but this is the benefit of reading this book. It is factual, clear and truly inspiring.

Happy studying.
