Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-02 00:00:00 Buddy Love Who's up for some excerpts from an early 80s fundamentalist programming book? I know I am! Dediction, P3: "God is the Creator of the laws of technology by which computers run. Man has made progress in the field of computers only by the discovery of and obedience to these laws of God." Noah's Ark game, P13: "The purpose of this game, however, is to remember that God has promised never again to flood the world, but He still hates wickedness and wants us to live righteous lives." Amorites game, P52: "The Amorites were one of these nations that had to be defeated in order for the Israelites to possess the land and live godly lives there. In Exodus 23 God said that if the Israelites obeyed Him, He would be an enemy to the Amorites and any other group of people that was an enemy to the Israelites. The purpose of this game is to remind us that we must resist and fight against sin that is all around us." Rapture Game, P94: "The object of this game is to be the player who witnesses to the most people before the Lord returns and raptures the Christians, thus ending the opportunity to witness." There's a few word scramble games near the end. Here's an excerpt from one, P134: 360 PRINT " COMPUTER HAS CHOSEN A" 370 PRINT " PERSON FROM THE BIBLE" 380 PRINT " YOU MUST GUESS THE PERSON" 390 PRINT " BY UNSCRAMBLING THE LETTERS" 400 PRINT " YOU MUST ALSO SHARE WITH" 410 PRINT " THE OTHER PLAYERS THIS" 420 PRINT " PERSONS IMPORTANCE" So get this, author J. Conrod didn't know how to code a word scrambler, so he stores a scrambled version of each word, along with an unscrambled version, P135: 830 DATA SEUJS,MYTTOIH,ROOMTABLEWH,SMUDECOIN,APTILE,NOJH 840 DATA SEHEBALIT,SMAJE,PREET,IMNOSE,LARGEBI,TAMWHET,DGO 850 DATA BEEEZED,WARDEN,SMOATH,DOHER,CHAPASAI,TUITS,KRAM 860 DATA JESUS,TIMOTHY,BARTHOLOMEW,NICODEMUS,PILATE,JOHN 870 DATA ELISABETH,JAMES,PETER,SIMEON,GABRIEL,MATTHEW,GOD 880 DATA ZEBEDEE,ANDREW,THOMAS,HEROD,CAIAPHAS,TITUS,MARK Gads. Even in junior high (when I got my first computer), I could have totally whipped out a word scrambler, e.g.: 10 REM YES, I WROTE A STRING SCRAMBLER FOR THIS BOOK REVIEW 20 INPUTA$:L=LEN(A$):DIMB$(L):FORI=1TOL:B$(I)=MID$(A$,I,1):NEXT 30 FORI=1TOL:R=(RND(1)*L)+1:T$=B$(I):B$(I)=B$(R):B$(R)=T$:NEXT 40 PRINT"SCRAMBLED: ";:FORI=1TOL:PRINTB$(I);:NEXT And like every other game in this book, it tells the user who typed it in that they were not allowed to share it with their friends (if they hadn't read the book), P133: 80 PRINT " USER AGREES NOT TO COPY" 90 PRINT " THIS SOFTWARE EXCEPT AS"; 100 PRINT " PERMITTED IN THE SOFT- "; 110 PRINT " WARE LICENSE ON PAGE 2 "; There's a lot of leaders in silicon valley who cut their teeth on 8-bit systems, but there's no way this book inspired any of them.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-16 00:00:00 Cameron Constant Probably one of the best books I've ever read on women in the Bible. God uses women for all sorts of purposes and this book definitely covers that. My thoughts on each of these women. Eve: The first woman whom God didn't give up on. Sarah: Brave and loyal, she was made a mother of a nation. Hagar: Even though she was a slave, God saw her sorrow. Lot's Wife: God tried to save her, but she ultimately refused. Rebekah: The woman who accepted God's invitation. Rachel: She felt forgotten, but God remembered her. Leah: She was unloved, so God showered her in it. Tamar #1: Through her actions, Judah's line was preserved. Potiphar's Wife: Because of her false witness, an innocent man was jailed. Jochebed and Pharaoh's Daughter: The mothers who rescued Moses and raised him well. Miriam: The Bible's first prophetess who did her job well. Rahab: A prostitute with a heart for God. Deborah: A judge who acted as a mother in Israel. Jael: A Gentile woman whom God used to help His people. Delilah: A prostitute who turned her lover over to his enemies. Naomi: Despite her suffering, God gave her a future. Ruth: Because of her generosity and selflessness, God blessed her. Hannah: A barren woman who poured her heart out to God. Michal: A princess who eventually became a prisoner to bitterness. Abigail: A wise woman who wouldn't let disaster come. The Witch of Endor: Though a medium, God used her to speak to Saul. Bathsheba: Though molested by Israel's king, she was likely emotionally strong. Tamar #2: Unaware of the danger in her own family, her innocence was stolen. The Wise Woman of Abel: Because of her, innocent lives on both sides were spared. Rizpah: A mother who remained loyal to her sons. The Queen of Sheba: A ruler who valued wisdom over power. Jezebel: A queen who used her power to destroy her country. The Widow of Zarephath: Because of her hospitality, God blessed her with abundance. The Shunammite Woman: When her son died, she was determined to get him back. Athaliah and Jehosheba: A queen who tried to destroy the Messiah's line, and a princess who helped preserve it. Huldah: A woman with a voice in a moral wilderness. Esther: The queen who saved her people. The Woman of Proverbs 31: A model of wisdom that all men and women can aspire to be like. The Shulammite Woman: A woman whose love speaks directly to us. Gomer: She was a symbol of adultery, but she wasn't unloved. Elizabeth: She was the mother of John the Baptist, and mentor to the mother of the Savior. Mary, Mother of Jesus: Though a woman who sinned, she was called to bear the Sinless One. Anna: Though an old woman, she did not outlive her usefulness. The Samaritan Woman: She was weary of her past, but Jesus gave her hope for the future. The Sinful Woman: Though she led an immoral lifestyle, she shed tears of repentance. The Bleeding Woman: She was lonely, but she was brave. And because of her faith she was healed. Herodias: A New Testament Jezebel determined to silence the voice who criticized her. Joanna: Though she was from Herod's court, she decided to join the heavenly court of Jesus. The Syrophoenician Woman: She was a Gentile, but that didn't stop her from seeking Jesus. Martha: She was worried about small things, but she believed in Jesus. Mary of Bethany: She never lost sight of Jesus, and had the privilege to anoint Him before He died. Salome, Mother of the Zebedees: Though she misunderstood the Messiah's mission, she was a faithful follower. The Widow with the Two Coins: She was poor, but she abandoned herself completely to God. Mary Magdalene: Though trapped by seven demons, she was freed to share the message of the Savior. Dorcas: She died before her time, but was raised again to continue her work. Lydia: Though a Gentile, she helped start the church at Philippi. Priscilla: A model for female church leaders everywhere. This book was fantastic and I give it a 5/5.
