Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Other Curiously Named Classic Chinese Dishes: A Graphic Cookbook--26 Recipes & Stories by Ying Chang Compestine
4.25
This should be the future of cookbooks! It is engaging, informative, and funny, especially for noncooking individuals. What a delight! This should be developed into a short anime as soon as possible. Thanks to Netgalley for giving me a review copy.
Present Evil, Active God: Can This World's Evil Ever Be Resolved? by Jered Gritters, Jered Gritters
3.5
Thanks to NetGalley for the Audiobook review. The narrator was spectacular. Gritters takes a relational approach to the theodicy question - why do bad things happen to good people? I applaud his research and historical tidbits; where I take off a few stars is the rapid downhill chopping of a great uphill start. His ability to mention several details and connections of people amidst systemic and even individual evil are spot-on and very informative. I would have appreciated more time to unpack the relationships and interweaving presence of God calling us to pushback against present evil.
Build It Simple: Practical Projects and Inventive Solutions for Home and Garden by How-To Experts at Storey Publishing
4.0
Thanks to Netgalley for the review copy. I'm the fellow who would build the birdhouse in highschool shop and it would be barely suitable for Smurfs who like to live on the trashy side of life. I did attempt one project within the book and surprisingly it turned out relatively normal. Kudos to the presentation and walk-throughs. My only hesitation in making it a 5-star would have been a few video links.
