Was Hitler an atheist? The answer is sometimes ambiguous. Some political pundits claim Hitler was an atheist, and others claim he was Christian. In the turbulent years of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler cynically used both the Protestant and Catholic churches to strengthen his grip on power.

Timely and clear historial analysis of a slippery slope that horrifyingly holds a mirror to a 2025 USA

The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male.

If the Bible is the body blow incapacitating the god belief then this Anatomy is the head shot putting undemonstratable notions away for good.

One of Mark Twain’s classic tales, a small band of boys in a medieval village make friends with a very real angel whose name is Satan. He assures the boys that he’s not The Satan, but his nephew. He looks like a boy of their own age, but his magical powers and unusual perspectives on morals and mankind leave the boys amazed and bewildered. Mark Twain never finished this story to his own satisfaction. In 1916, his biographer and friend Albert Bigelow Paine, with fellow author Frederick Duneka, added an evil astrologer and devised an ending, and published the version presented here.

Horrible recording
Revisado: 07-11-23
One of Twain's greatest stories. To bad the narration is full of bad edits, horrible sound leveling, background noise and a extremely poor cadence.
I'm thinking of complaining directly to Amazon for a refund on this title.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan isn’t one to avoid arguments. He relishes them as the lifeblood of democracy and the only surefire way to establish the truth. Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value—and can also simply be fun.

New Title Win Every Argument: Truth be damned
Revisado: 04-21-23
This will really help you be a great carsalesman. But if you are looking for advice on how to be a more honest agent, this is not it.
Particularly, the Gish Gallop portion. Politically I'm a liberal in the USA.
But Medhi described a GG by Donald Trump then compares it to a GG by a critic if Islam. Donald Trump's GG was provably false on every point. Medhi acknowledged.
The Islam critic was mostly factual, although maybe to general in some of her arguments. But he never acknowledged the veracity of the her claims. Curious?
Medhi dismisses all her claims out of hand. I'm sorry he is just wrong and letting his feelings interfere I his thinking. For a rational thinker, in trying to win a debate, it's an awful blindspot.
But like I said, he's trying to teach you how to be a carsalesman NOT to be reasonable.

The fact this was written by a retired general in the US Armed Forces is just sad. From the premise to the writing style.

Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

I really wanted to like this but...
Revisado: 03-03-20
Aleena’s character was annoying. She acted like a child and seems to have been protected all her life by her parents, Thomas and then by Sol.
The narrator for Alice speaks too fast as if she is wanting to finish the book. Hard to follow along.

In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle East conflict.

Michener was a Quaker
Revisado: 09-18-19
Michener wrote from the scientific/historical slant not atheistic or religious. He was a Quaker. Pragmatic. Narrator is not good. Speeding it up sounds much better.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Formula lost in translation
Revisado: 03-28-19
On the surface the accompanying musical background throughout is distracting. Very odd. it almost demeans the narrative into a serial romance novel. The narrator has a good clear voice. The language can be flowery and verbose at times which may be a consequence of the translation into english.
The story is well crafted yet somewhat formulaic. Urequited love, lost love, found love, and rekindled love amid a sinister plot on the verge of destroying many of the main characters. Good twists and turns throughout. Although, the first half is slow with some unnecessary and redundant character development.
Wraps up interestingly but not unforeseen at the end. Read and listened to better but a better than average story.
