It also helped me question and clarify my own beliefs about God for myself. I am now able to shed the limiting and constricting "memes" that I was ensconced in while growing up. Also, this book opened my mind to how another person, the author, feels about religion, and thus it helped me think in a new way about my own thoughts/feelings. I am now in a better position to determine where I stand on religion, God, spirituality, creation, etc.Reading about atheism doesn't have to be full of hostility or scary or lead to a conversion. Just open your mind, and you can hear with compassion how a person, possibly unlike yourself, thinks about God.

] | This is the first book that I've read by Donna Hill. I picked it up from the library purely by chance, and I'm glad I did.The romance between Kendra Phillips and Sean Michaels is a sure winner. Together they exude warmth, love and passion. Kendra is a lovely character with all the ambition of today's modern woman who allows her heart to be won by Mr.Sean Michaels, her soul-mate. Sean, the male lead, is portrayed in such a way that no African American male could rail against. He's intelligent, strong, handsome, and gentle. Also, he's compassionate enough to talk to Kendra when there's conflict between them and together they sort it out.Of course, sometimes that's not easy, but Donna Hill never humiliates her characters, rather she portrays them as men and women with flaws who sometime make mistakes.

It does discuss things like angels, magic, etc., and some of the information is okay, but you'd do better to buy a book on how to write and then getting a textbook on paranormal activity. This book has quite a few grammatical errors and misinformation: the section on building worlds is useless, as it talks more about characterization rather than worlds. A world has characters, but it is not a character as this book indicates. There is also other information that's unreliable. One thing, the cover is good.

If you watch the actors John Dall and Farley Granger, you'll see an amazing contrast in their personalities after committing their crime.

Intriguing, suspenseful, clever directing and the ending was just right.

In essence, this movie is about a genius (Jimmy Stewart's character) who uses mathematical equations to determine the likelihood that an airplane crash will occur after so many miles or flights causing the wings to become useless. He has calculated that disaster will occur down to the number of flights, I believe. This movie is truly worth the watch. Also, I was so anxious to know what would happen next that I had to restrain myself from fast forwarding to the ending. Jimmy Stewart was believable and also provoked empathy for the role he played.
