This is a fascinating and unique devotional written by a rabbi and a theologian.  This devotional is made to last for the year with each week made up of six one-page devotions and questions to reflect on for the seventh day. Each devotion features a verse or two printed out, a larger portion written by the rabbi, and a paragraph written by the theologian.  The rabbi discusses a topic from the Jewish Bible, which is the Christian Old Testament, then the theologian will bring in New Testament references.

I really liked the insight I gained into Jewish culture and tradition as I read this.  Learning about the Jewish festivals, insight into words and grammar used, and interesting stories about Jewish history from thousands of years ago to the present make this not only entertaining, but informative.  I also felt challenged and encouraged in my walk with God.  While Christians and Jews would be especially interested in this book, I think anyone who wants to understand these two faiths more would really enjoy this.

I received this book free from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

This book is readable, fun, and fascinating.  I background from the colonial period to the 20th century was mostly new to me, and I learned a lot.  The later chapters tended to give me a lot of "Aha!" and "Oh, I remember that!" moments, and deepened my understanding of what was going on.  I enjoyed it immensely.

Cursed in New England gives good information and insight into a topic rarely covered even in the annals of the paranormal.

Curses are not glamorous or inviting subjects for discussion or review, but in this book, the author gives a good overview about a little-known and nearly taboo subject.

I would recommend this as must reading for anyone interested in the subject.  An eye opener!

Really enjoyed reading this! The pictures are fantastic and fun. I am not an amusement park aficionado just an interested park visitor. I learned so much about park operations etc. The writing was entertaining and informative. It was a quick and fascinating read and I can see myself picking it up again. So many fascinating tidbits. I highly recommend! My 12-year old son also enjoyed looking through it too and of course making fun of the styles in the pictures.

How We Learn: The Surprising Truth About When, Where, and Why it Happens by Benedict Carey is a fascinating read! I didn't want to put it down; written in an easy style with a respectful dumbing of the science behind the subject.
Empowering and exciting--yes exciting--read it and you'll see why. There are visuals to entice and expand the learning...go for it!

As a Lincoln University student, Different was a very eye opening read. Fales has created an interesting and informative book illuminating problems of  both the past and present. She sheds light on important and surprising issues among the community forcing the reader to question their own implicit biases making it a fantastic read!
