Stumble Into Grace - Emmylou Harris

Stumbling A Little Too Much!

Advantages: Very entertaining, clearly explained, interesting
Disadvantages: Simplifies happiness, definition of happiness is disputable

extent, I don?t think it does it justice. I have no doubt that Lori and Reba are happy, but the science used to demonstrate this simply isn?t sufficient ? but then, I doubt that science can ever be sufficient to describe and measure happiness. Stumbling On Happiness fails to live up to its promise in several areas; it attempts to explain happiness and yet some of the theories and case studies used to demonstrate this seem horribly irrelevant and trivial. As Gilbert says in closing, ?There is no simple formula for finding happiness. But if our great brains do not allow us to go surefootedly into our futures, they at least allow us to understand what makes us stumble?.

Review of Stumbling On Happiness - Daniel Gilbert

Living into the grace...

Advantages: Interesting, very personal, practical and academic
Disadvantages: -

There is a problem with the term ?feminism? ? it has acquired the status of many political terms that often inspires a knee-jerk reaction of one sort or another, positive or negative.

Serene Jones is an associate professor of theology at Yale Divinity School; her father Joe Jones was professor of theology at my seminary (look for a review of his book 'The Grammar of Christian Faith' soon ...

Review of Feminist Theory and Christian Theology: Cartographies of Grace - Serene Jones

Gracefully Funny

Advantages: Fun acting, excellent timing, beautiful setting, lots of laughs
Disadvantages: No smell-o-vision!!!!! Too smooth an ending.

-wrote the screenplay for this film (with the story originator, Mark Crowdy) and also plays the part of Matthew, Grace's inept, but charmingly handsome Scottish gardener, who has been unsuccessfully growing pot in the garden of the Vicarage, of all places. His request for her able assistance in helping him revive his dying seedlings is what plants the seed for her scheme to instant solvency. I'm sure you can all guess what that is. Woven into this plot is Matthew's relationship with Nicky, aptly played by relatively unknown Valerie Edmond, who pulls off another strong/weak woman part. In addition, the local doctor, played by Martin Clunes is an excellent comic relief (probably best known in the US for his performance as Gary Strang in " Men Behaving Badly", and most recently in the part of William in 'William and Mary'. I understand he ...
