Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-13 00:00:00 Heather O'leary Interesting analysis of a spiritual practice. This book highlights many of the issues of the Church (of the 70s) through the way speaking in tongues was (and sometimes is) viewed. Certainly a clinical viewpoint, which does not account fully for spiritual experience. For a fuller understanding of speaking in tongues, this book definitely needs to be paired with a Christian religious book of the same subject.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-01 00:00:00 Rodney Baron A great little compilation of Thomas Aquinas' great wisdom. There is something on every page that spurs deeper thought. Josef Pieper has done a wonderful job bringing gems and nuggets to the reader. This is a very beautiful and good book. A good way to be introduced to Thomas -- it isn't too intimidating and very readable. The one thing I thought as reading this -- and I know that I am going to show that I know just enough to make me look stupid -- is that I cannot understand how the Neo-Thomists maintain their strict split between nature and grace. There were ample passages in this little compilation that seem to confirm Henri De Lubac's reading of Thomas.
