No, seriously, so far, so good on this one. I like the time period (1200s) and the setting (Europe), and the writing is really good. It's almost literary:)

Is today the day that I will die? That is the question Li Quan asks himself daily. As a Christian in Communist China, this assistant locksmith never knows if today will be his last day here on Earth. Across the globe in America, his old college roommate, Ben Fielding, is caught up in the world of corporate finance and grooming himself to be the next CEO of his company, Getz, International. As part of a marketing strategy, Ben is sent to the newly open, capitalist-friendly China to live for 6 weeks with his old roommate. Will his view of faith be changed? My Thoughts: I have such mixed emotions about this book. I can honestly say I didn't really know what it was about when I picked it to review. It's definitely an eye-opener. The book was first published 10 years ago and this is the anniversary edition of it. However, as the author states in an opening forward, persecution of Christians in China and around the world is still just as real as it was 10 years ago when he wrote it. It is current. China may have opened up to capitalism, but Communism still reigns there and Communism is founded on the belief that there is no God. In some ways, I dreaded opening up this book and reading it. It's convicting to see real faith lived out by people who are imprisoned, beaten and killed all because they acknowledge God as the Creator and Jesus as their Savior. Our cushy, American lives don't force us to really live out our faith. We don't have to worship in secret. We have plenty of Bibles to read. We have it all, but really we have too much. Too much to need God most of the time. So, the question remains, did I like the book? Do I recommend it? In terms of subject matter, yes, I think it's great for everyone to have their eyes opened to the persecution that Christians face around the world. In terms of how it's written, I would downgrade my praise a little bit. It seems a little long and drawn out to me. There are a few places in there that I thought the author put in things that weren't necessary or that didn't go along with the book. For instance, all throughout the book, you see glimpses of heaven and martyrs who are in heaven interceding for those on Earth. But then for one page only, you see a glimpse of hell. Not that I think his portrayal of hell was inaccurate, it just didn't seem to fit. In light of my few annoyances, I will give the book 4 out of 5 stars. A complimentary version of this book was provided for review by Tyndale House Publishers.

Okay, stop me if i'm wrong. Gramsci is a critic of revolutions, taking an anarchist’s stance in that a state-structure will eventually obfuscate revolutionary goals on the basis of those-in-power's personal interest. He most closely dissects the Russian Revolution as the most recent (and successful) revolution to his time, though thoroughly criticizes Italian government and state as well (he was in their prison, after all). His complaint is that revolutionaries become invested in personal interest once they come to power. The remodeling of state for the specific interests of those in power develops a purely ‘economic-corporate’ economy, with no basis for human need, and Gramsci describes this as ‘the worst kind of feudalism.’ He praises the Jacobins in the 1790s of France for violently quashing any party to be reactionary towards the revolution, including revolutionaries who had seemingly changed. This violent period, where every one and their mother were guillotined gave way to the Napoleonic Wars, because the anarchism got so out of control it elapsed into chaos. To avoid this chaos, he implores cultural identity to be drawn for all classes. He says a nation must be formed nationally before it is deemed international. The growth must be organic and humanistic. Peasants and intellectuals chose their own culture, it grows from them and is accepted as national character: this is the dispersion of hegemony. The basis for Gramsci is the ability of the individual: A proletarian, no matter how intelligent, no matter how fit to become a man of culture, is forced either to squander his qualities on some other activity, or else to become a rebel and autodidact—i.e.(apart from some notable exceptions) a mediocrity, a man who cannot give all he could have given had he been completed and strengthened by the discipline of school. Culture is a privilege. Education is a privilege. And we do not want it to be so. All young people should be equal before culture. Accessibility is key. He believes in the power of contradiction, the dialectical necessity for difference: In life no act remains without consequences, and to believe in one theory rather than another has its own particular impact on action. Even an error leaves traces of itself, to the extent that its acceptance and promulgation can delay( but certainly not prevent) the attainment of an end. And that the ability to impart knowledge and progress comes not from the state’s implementation of culture, but from individual growth. He is a liberal, which by his definition makes him an economist. He believes in individual decisions to govern necessity. The necessity for that freedom: man knows himself, he knows how much his individual will can be worth, and how it can be made more powerful in that, by obeying, by disciplining itself to necessity, it finally dominates necessity itself, identifying it with its own ends. Who knows himself? Not man in general, but he who undergoes the yoke of necessity.

I found myself unable to put down this book, or at least reluctant to do so. I'm really curious about how much is based on the truth, but at the same time, I don't want to know and spoil the mood.

To be fair, this was another book that was ruined by having to read it for school. My teacher had such a strong hatred for the Scarlet Letter so it was sort of embedded into her students to dislike it as well. I did like the initial concept of the book, although I'm not sure I liked where it went after a while. It was interesting to see that a woman branded with a scarlet letter is still, in a sense, a punishment for women in today's society.

Once I got past the extremely trying first 40% of this book, I wound up enjoying it immensely. Definitely enough to read the next one. Alaida of Alnwick has had her grandfather and uncle imprisoned, has had to put up with numerous unwanted suitors, and now is being given in marriage by a king she doesn't like to a man she doesn't trust. Ivo has lived for over two hundred years under a curse that forces him to spend daylight in the form of an eagle. It is only during the night that he can be a man. But he can't tell his new wife this, partly because he fears her reaction and partly because he wants what small slice of time he can have to live as a normal man with a wife and family. That is, until his companion Sir Ari has a vision that Ivo's child will be cursed as well. As if it wasn't bad enough to lie to Alaida about his mysterious absences during the day, now Ivo must try to control his urges for fear of getting Alaida with child. But he soon finds out he's too late... The first almost half of this book is spent concentrating really on the separation between Ivo and Alaida - he can't be with her during the day, but he can't tell her why, and that makes Alaida stuck in a marriage she doesn't want with a man keeping secrets from her and she's alone and bitter most of the day. It isn't until she leaves to check the properties Ivo has bequeathed her, and they return and have to come together to stand up to a neighbor that you begin to see any worthwile interactionb between Ivo and Alaida. They spend more time together, getting to know one another, and even though Alaida is hurt and confused as to why Ivo now doesn't want to bed her, she can't help but fall for him. I like how Lisa Hendrix doesn't do what a lot of authors do when the book includes long separations - oh, we hardly know each other, but the sex was great, so it must be love. Kudos for that. Brand (a bear) and Ari (a raven) make interesting secondary characters and I Can't wait to read their books (especially Brand). B-
