.Why the French Don't Like Headscarves: Islam, the State, and Public Space

by: John R. Bowen

August 24, 2008
Three years after the facts, is it still worthwhile to revisit the French government's decision to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs from public schools? Should we not rather just let go, have time heal whatever wounds may have been caused, and move on to something else? If John Bower chose to dedicate a book to that decision and to the deliberations that led to it, it is not just because the law seems strange to outsiders and cannot be easily interpreted starting from a liberal viewpoint. It is, above all, because he felt that "its passage was one of those key moments in a country's life at which certain anxieties and assumptions come to the surface, when people take stock of who they are and of what kind of social life they ...

.Evangelism for "Normal" People: Good News for Those Looking for a Fresh Approach

by: John P. Bowen

2002-07
I can't recommend this more highly! In the last year or so, I've read several great books on evangelism. Share Jesus Without Fear & Evangelism Explosion are great with "techniques." Out of the Saltshaker is a classic. Master Plan of Evangelism is superb and a must-read. Living Proof: Sharing the Gospel Naturally is wonderful. I highly recommend all these books. But I have to put Evangelism for Normal People in a class by itself. It started out slow, in a way that I though he was "watering down" the whole topic. But as it got rolling, my whole perspective on evangelism started changing in a more biblical direction. Bowen' treats the big picture of evangelism, encompassing much more of what the Bible has to say on the topic beyond the usual, commonly ... Read More:

.Breaking Through: Building a World Class Wealth Management Business

by: John Bowen

June 18, 2008
I have been in Wealth Management for 20 years, so I was a bit skeptical when this book was suggested to me. It is geared toward Investment Advisors that want to expand into a full Wealth Management practice. Well it was a terrific read and very enlightning. There were so many strategies in the book that made so much sense. This book has given me the confidence to try new things, and they are working! Not sure if you can ask much more than that from just a book.

.Religions In Practice: An Approach to the Anthropology of Religion (3rd Edition)

by: John R. Bowen

July 02, 2004
John Bowen, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, wrote this as a college textbook for anthropology of religion. For this it is excellent. It is also really good for lay readers looking for an introduction to this field. It includes a review of religious studies theories from Hegel and Edward Tylor to Clifford Geertz. It includes examples from many religious traditions commonly studied--Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, Umbanda, Native American traditions, Cargo cults, Japanese New Religions, Quakers, Mormonism, Hinduism; a good breadth indeed.

His chapters are: 1) Elements and Theories of Religion; 2) Doctrine and Practice in Tension; 3) Transitions in Life and Death; 4) Extending Our Powers: "Magic" and Healing; 5) Explaining Misfortune: Witchcraft ... Read More:

.Ravenloft Gazetteer II: Legacies of Terror (Ravenloft d20 3.0 Fantasy Roleplaying)

by: Deird're Brooks, Philippe Boulle, Carl Bowen, Ann Braidwood, John W. Mangrum, Steve Miller, Andrew Wyatt

January 01, 2003
The Second of the Gazetteer's is an absoulutly solid product, We get an update and a real good look at one of the largest domains in Ravenloft, Darkon. Also are some really detailed looks at Necropolis, Lamordia, and Falkovnia. My personal favorite was Lamordia as I have always been interested in getting a closer look at the land of Mordenheim and Adam. Also the Who's Doomed section of this Gazetteer is packed. Not only the Darklords but 5 other personalities of note,(though you kinda figure Mordenheim as half a Darklord i guess.) I hope they keep pumping out products of this caliber..
