![]() So when I dug into Captivating and really just found the same exact beliefs as what Helen Andelin promoted, only with a more palatable verbiage coating, it made me angry. When I was wrapping up my review series on Fascinating Womanhood, I went looking for the most popular books I could find that covered similar ground, and at the time I believed that what I’d find would be. In the end, I absorbed many of the same messages, but the way I was given them was much more toxic, and I believe that level of toxicity makes it easier for me to reject some of those ideas. I didn’t have the same sort of experiences that many of you have had this wasn’t a book I was given by a well-meaning Sunday school teacher, I never had to sit through a “Bible study” dedicated to it. One of my favorite things about writing this sort of extended-review-critique-thing is that I get to interact with all of you– especially since I grew up in an environment where books like Captivating were far too liberal for me to read. So, this is it: the very last post on John and Stasi Eldredge’s Captivating. ![]()

Roland GreenĬopyright © American Library Association. The Bolos, the late Keith Laumer's best-known creation, are clearly in capable hands with Weber. Also convincingly depicted is the process of downloading a human personality into a Bolo, which confers immortality of a sort and gives the novel a warmer tone than the battle scenes, unaided, would have. The result is a deadly, prolonged battle, recounted with all Weber's customary high-tech vividness, but this time Trevor is not separated from her Bolo or even from her human lover, Edmund Hawthorne. Unfortunately, the "Puppies" (i.e., the aliens of Melchonia) have both natural and military intelligence-and the persistence to follow the colonizing expedition across the light-years. ![]() See the complete Dahak series book list in order, box sets or.
