question:
For Advanced only . This book is attractively laid out and demonstrates (briefly) some techniques for people who have the knowledge to use them.  I don't have it unfortunately.  The authors say that knowing Photoshop would be "helpful"; I suspect it's required in order to do the digital printing described here.  They also recommend a more basic text on digital printing to understand this book, and that kind of knowledge also appears to be required.  That and a big printer!  If I were qualified to use the information, I would probably give it 4 or 5 stars.
answer:
NEG


question:
Seeing things in a whole new light. . This book has cast the alleged Biblical condemnation of homosexuality in a whole new light.  For those who always felt that there was something very wrong and un-Godly about the fundamentalist's extreme anti-gay views, this book will certainly confirm what you have known and felt in your heart all along.       For those Christians with gay family and friends, who have understood first hand the conflicts between what they know, experience, and God has impressed within their hearts, and the fundamentalist (and even mainstream) condemnation of the lives of your loved ones, this will open your eyes to the reality and truth of what is written in the Bible.     All in all a great read and an eye opener.
answer:
POS


question:
Sadly, this is a message that further divides the world . I heard an interview with Dr. Kushner on NPR today.  He explained how the comfort in the 23rd Psalm lies in the realization that, for example, God is not on the side of the terrorists, or the hurricanes; he is on our side.    Why define the world as divided so in the first place?  Terrorists are people too.  Nature is people too.  Until we accept the fact that God is in all of us, we will continue to place things in "good" and "evil" bins and only strengthen the hatred and suffering in the world.  Our comfort and relief from Psalm 23 will only revitalize us to more intensely resist those things that we (WE, not God or some divine law of the universe) label as evil.    I rate the book 2 stars instead of 1 because it is clear the author means well and has a heart of gold, full of compassion.  Unfortunately his wonderful intentions are sorely misguided.

NEG
