an excellent look at American history and the influence God has had in making is the country we are
This is basically the long version of the Lincoln hypothesis by the same author. while this book has some great insight not in the other book, I liked the Lincoln hypothesis more. The Lincoln hypothesis is 6 stars, this one is 5

like all frontiers saga books, great story, minus one star for family un-friendliness
I liked this book a lot. criticisms cite the fact that this book is more about the author's journey in life and ditching her vices. This is true and for someone like me that didn't know her story it was inspiring to read.
she has been through and beaten many things. This is a great book for people in any stage of life

this is a great summation of Donaldina Cameron's work.
beware: this book is heartbreaking in many parts, contrasted with amazing stories of human goodness
Donaldina was an amazing woman and it's a shame she has been mostly forgotten.
the authors did a great job taking all the info available and writing a concise history.
if you are looking for a exhaustive and total look at her life, this is not it - this hits the high points and is ready to read, which I think is a great way to introduce people to her.
my only complaint is that it wasn't longer with more stories of her bravery

interesting stories from the last surviving African slave. I liked leaving about his life in Africa
2.5 stars. There were some interesting stories, but the second half of the book didn't hold my attention very well.
the first half was very sad but good to read

This book is a great look at how our views on dying and medicine have changed, not necessarily for the better. It makes you contemplate your own mortality and that of those around you.
5 stars for challenging me to think deeply!

This is an interesting look at educational systems around the world and what the biggest factors in student learning is (as defined by pisa scores). Interestingly it is not dollars spent.
It also looks at the warts of even the best systems.
Overall a good book, but ironically I zoned out for pays

I was disappointed with this book. I hoped it would be more about his scientific accomplishments, ideas of the compatibility between science and religion, but it was mostly said he liked and was devoted to both.
This is a good book if you are already familiar with dr. Eyring and want to learn more of his life and personal experiences.

A fascinating look at where we've been and where we could potentially be as a species in the future from a highly respected physicist/string theorist
