books books everywhere

reading three good ones at the moment:

  1. Reformation, by Diarmaid MacCulloch (Penguin: Victoria, 2004)

    you may remember it from here!

    i'm really enjoying it - it's engrossing, thorough, and good at drawing together various threads.


  2. also on my stack is The Reason for God, by Timothy Keller (Penguin: London, 2008)



    i'm reviewing it for church, where we're trying to get regular book reviews going. if you've read his ground breaking article (download here i think), Deconstructing Defeater Beliefs, you'll know what it's about.


  3. last on my list is a book that my friends at AFES ordered me a review copy of! It's called What are we waiting for? Christian Hope and Contemporary Culture, eds. Stephen Holmes and Russell Rook (Paternoster: Bucks, 2008)



    i originally heard about it from Chrisendom, and have already read the first three chapters - getting it only late last night!

    when i've finished and reviewed it, assuming i don't upset anyone in the upper echelons of AFES, it should turn up here, at the AFES online magazine, webSalt. (where you can sign up to get RSS feeds - you can even check out my old reviews of Lee Strobel's the case for easter and Peter Bolt's Living with the Underworld)


lots to read about, lots to think about, lots to chat about.

Hello

Meridia is a neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor which reduces the reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine that subsequently improves the levels of these substances in synaptic clefts therefore enhancing the feeling of satiety.

Meridia should not be taken with other medications such as ergolines, selegiline, and triptans as it may cause severe adverse effects.
