Kaeson Jiang kaesonjiang — One of my all time favorite books - you must read all of them! They are just the best ever!

Tawatchai Mahissaya _studio — I think this book does the best of all I have read of addressing the many issues Protestant converts and their families would face. Gillquist does it in a manner that is very down to earth and easy to read. I think this is also just a great book for Christians to read in general even if they are not remotely considering Orthodoxy. There is a lot to be gleaned from these pages. The book specifically addressed several things that have come up as walls for me, but was very brief and as such unfortunately silent about many other things. While I appreciate and like many things about the Orthodox church and now feel a greater understanding of my faith and the practice of that faith as it relates to church history and tradition, I am still not convinced about specifically cultural practices in the Orthodox church from music styles, to Byzantine chanting for reading scripture and praying, to interpersonal greetings and such. I just find much of it very Eastern and not at all like Western culture or appealing to Western culture. It isn't that these cultural practices offend me or that I think people are wrong for practicing them, they just are not my culture. One of the things I learned as a communications major about interpersonal communication, particularly when you are going to be communicating with those of another culture is you learn about them and adapt to their preference. Everything from approximate personal space preference, to proper titles, forms of address, mannerisms, proper clothing, colors, expectations of gifts, etc is studied prior to communicating with those of another culture on a business level. I think some Protestant churches in many ways have done an excellent job of this in missions and learning about another culture before sending people out (to be sure they have made made serious mistakes, but I'm just saying my own experience has seen otherwise). I think the Orthodox church is failing miserably in this even with the efforts of Gillquist and others involved in the AEOM. Our experience in Orthodox churches in the last few months has found them to be still very Eastern. We are not Eastern! I think if the Orthodox church wants to be more effective they need to stop trying to preserve the cultural identities of the jurisdictions like Antioch, Greece, Russia, etc. and embrace and realize that American culture is different and that it is OK (I am not saying they should embrace all of American culture because we all know that has its problems). I am not of Byzantine heritage, so why do I need to chant my prayers and scripture in the Byzantine style? Most American music is in the major scale and that is what we are used to, why at church do we need to submit to the harmonic minor scale in order for it to be proper worship to God? Because I don't think these really are the things that make or break the faith. Some may argue then why not submit to them while I argue why should I.

Khatan-ool Altangerel khatan_oola — You know how you sometimes read a book and you find yourself pulling your hair because all you want to do is smash the characters' heads, but that would mean smashing your laptop, which you can't and won't do because you need to know what happens next? That pretty much sums up how I felt reading Mercenaries part 1. This Part picked up directly from the last scene in Special Forces. Mercenaries, for me, will be memorable for how Vadim's psyche was dissected. For those who said that Dan was somehow neglected and seemed one-dimensional, that held some truth. When he became Mad Dog, there's not much to read about Dan apart from his sexual conquests. We also learn more about Vadim's background, but Dan's remained quite elusive. To a point I was almost hating him for not wanting to give Vadim a break after what he's been through. In a way, his response is probably a coping mechanism. He didn't want to accept that such a terrible thing could happen to a person he loves, so he denied him that excuse because knowing that he suffered to that extent hurts him more. That was probably quite selfish (in a way, for both Vadim and Dan), but it's hard *not* to understand their actions. Dan remains this simple BAMF who wears his heart on his sleeves, whose loyalty was never ever questioned even if he was shagging others. As for Vadim, I really enjoyed his little "adventure". It was heart-breaking how he was almost stripped of his humanity and bit by bit became a man again. He hasn't come full circle yet, but the detail with which his mental condition was written was very satisfying. The part where he said he couldn't feel what he was reading almost killed me. Took a lot of courage and strength to do what he did. I also *really* enjoyed the details of his SAS selection trainings XD I read some accounts of BRC, and this reminded me of that and gave me more, especially the interrogations and SERE. Andy, cameo though he was, was a very light-hearted character, quite the adorable one. This is starting to sound like more of a self-discussion than a review so I'll stop here. I can't wait to start on the 2nd part of Mercs.

Rajeev P rajeevpr — Apparently I read this book every 7 or 8 years in order to try to like it. I just cannot relate to the main character at all.
