Advantages: Interesting, easy to read, useful information Disadvantages: -
Laurence Hull Stookey?s book, Calendar: Christ?s Time for the Church, seems to be written for a primarily Protestant readership. There are many clues to this, but perhaps none more telling than the Appendix subtitled This Book in a Nutshell. As I go through each of the pairs of ideas, I find that my upbringing and training has concentrated more on the right column (the column Stookey invites readers to consider as an alternative) rather than the ?assumed teaching? column. Thus, one of my tasks was to think about how the ?assumed teaching? came about in some traditions, but not my own. Certainly there are historical, developmental reasons for this. As evidenced in class discussions, there can still be a great deal of resistance to ideas such as lectionary cycles or liturgical years. These things seem natural to me, however, and would be ...
Advantages: Great choice of material, great singing. Disadvantages: Last track seems to be in the wrong place, but that's being picky!
I had already bought Eva’s CD ‘Songbird’ and written a review of it here on Ciao. I loved it so much that I decided I would try to get hold of everything that Eva Cassidy had recorded while she was alive. Most of you by now will know that Eva died in 1996 at the age of 33. And it is only now that she has received the kind of recognition that her talent deserves. Apparently she was very shy and not at all ambitious. She had been offered various recording contracts, but chose just to sing for pleasure rather than for monetary gain or fame.
I found it very hard to decide which CD to purchase next after ‘Songbird’. The ‘Songbird’ CD is made up of tracks from the other CD’s of Eva’s (but not from ‘TimeAfterTime’) so I decided on this one, to hear as many different ...
Advantages: Illustrated topical serious current affairs articles Disadvantages: US voice, very little "feel-good" factor
I would never have chosen to subscribe to Time Magazine, but it happened like this: PC Plus magazine ran a promotion for a new Business magazine that sounded interesting so I signed up for it. As often happens with new publications, it flopped after a few editions. As ?compensation? I was provided with a free 3-month subscription to Time which I have enjoyed since. As most of you will be aware, Time Magazine is widely available on newsstands. It?s characterized by a cover with a red border and ?TIME? written in bold letters about 2? high.
?Enjoyed? is perhaps the wrong word to use in the above context. Events in the Middle East and Iraq have so dominated current political and business affairs over the past few months that the material covered has had very little associated feel-good factor. Although the regular format ...
