Review title: 4 out of 5 stars? are you serious? Product review: can it be that people are letting their personal beliefs block the receptors in the brain that signal bad music? ive listened to many bob dylan albums, and every one is a gem. freewheelin' is my favorite, but so what? it doesn't matter which ones we love, because we all know what bob dylan's worst record was, and its saved. im not one to question this man's beliefs or anything like that, bob dylan deserves all the respect in the universe, but could it be that bob dylan made a transfer to christian music to help us all see how bad it is? could he have made the transfer to make a mockery of the christian faith? almost certainly not. but only a seriously bad album could have planted these seeds in my brain.

Review title: A Fascinating Spiritual Odyssey Product review: Once I picked up "The God That Prevailed," I had difficulty putting it down. Dennis Embo's spiritual odyssey from Catholicism to Armstrongism to a deeper Catholicism parallels my own journey from liberal Protestantism to the Worldwide Church of God to evangelical Protestantism. From his quest for spiritual truth to his search for his birth mother, Embo weaves the threads of his life story into a fascinating allegory of God's sovereignty and faithfulness.Embo's story not only provides a glimpse into changes in American and Catholic culture during the past 50 years but also illustrates how God can lead us in ways we never would have imagined to draw us closer to Him. In my case, the book came into my life at a fortuitous (divinely appointed?) time when I needed to be reminded that despite our differences, Catholics and Protestants worship the same God and serve the same Jesus. I'm glad that I read "The God That Prevailed."

Product review: I bought this hand blender a few weeks ago and it works great. Makes excellent smoothies and cleans up very easily. My only complaint is that it won't blend ice - a fact that is missing from the outside of the box. You have to read the instructions before finding out.
