The reader will surely not get a one-sided argument. Throughout the entire process, Craig carefully deals with all of the pertinent and weighty objections and opposing views. He starts at the beginning and then leads it straight to the core and central issue of Christ and the Resurrection. Craig doesn’t hit every conceivable topic in apologetics. Most notable about Reasonable Faith could be its depth. He does this by hitting the main issues, exploring the history of each issue, showing the strengths and weaknesses offered by the arguments, and then delving into the practical application of the issues covered. Craig’s overall goal is to present a comprehensive background of the primary apologetic arguments for God, Scripture and Christ. Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics by William Lane Craig is a tour de force of thorough, scholarly apologetic work. The bossy, mean matriarch of the family, her three daughters who play the traditional roles – for awhile, anyway – and the absent father. I loved this book as much for the cooking and luscious food descriptions as for the familiar family problems outlined. This wonderful novel, which features a collection of recipes from turn-of-the-century Mexico, is also a sweet and tender love story, and also details the history, secrets, lies and loves of the De La Garza family. In honor of this month’s Fandom Foodie recipe takeover, of which I am the host and the theme of which is food based on Mexican literature and/or inspired by Day of the Dead – el Dia de los Muertos – as well as my adoration for this marvelous book Like Water for Chocolate, I decided to recreate the stuffed poblano peppers that Tita, the main character, makes for a wedding near the end of the book.

Brief Summary of Book: Darius the Great Is Not Okay (Darius The Great, #1) by Adib Khorram The illness began to manifest itself after the delicate balance of her family life was disrupted. Why the refusal? Because, Jamison says, the periods of mild mania, or hypomania, are ``absolutely intoxicating states that gave rise to great personal pleasure, an incomparable flow of thoughts, and a ceaseless energy.'' Jamison now takes her lithium dutifully, however, after being hobbled for years by cycles of extreme mania (sleepless nights, mental chaos, shopping sprees with bills totaling over $30,000) and suicidal depression. Less bitter and defensive than Kate Millett (The Loony-Bin Trip, 1990) in writing of this illness, Jamison has one thing in common with her: the reluctance to take lithium, despite her knowledge as a professional that it would control her extremes of mood. Mood-disorder specialist Jamison (Psychiatry/Johns Hopkins) comes clean about her own mood disorder: manic-depression. She has also collaborated with writer/artist Josh Finney on such projects as Utopiates, Batman 80pg Giant and Titanium Rain.
