Chicago Poems by Carl Sandburg
Rate this book
Clear rating
There are some striking phrases in here, and a few poems that I really liked. But over all, Sandburg didn't consistently do what I think a poet should do. Too much gritty flatness.

In Praise of Profanity by Michael Adams
Rate this book

For an OUP title, I was expecting more. Adams is well versed and well read in the subject, which is to be expected. But to praise something like profanity without any defined norms or standards is an exercise in futility, the secularist's real f-word ...more

The Appearance of Impropriety by Peter Morgan

This book is a real eye-opener. It shows how the debacle of Watergate led to the formation of what we might call Big Ethics. And when you emphasize this matter of appearances to such an extent in a nation that does not have true godliness, the result ...more

“Education is the process of selling someone on books. ”
Douglas Wilson

“God gave us minds to think with and hearts to thank with. Instead we use our hearts to think about the world as we would like it to have been, and we use our minds to come up with rationalizations for our ingratitude. We are a murmuring, discontented, unhappy, ungrateful people. And because we think we want salvation from our discontents...”

Will Is there an error with your page? It says you've been reading those 3 books in your 'Currently Reading' section since 2009.


Margaret Chind Thanks! I've read several of your titles and plan to continue on into Omnibus. I used it while working as a long term substitute at a Classical Christian School and now nothing else with suit!
