Condition unsatisfactory

Rating: 2/5
Comments:
This book was listed in excellent condition with a normal wear on the spine. It was, in fact, sliced and twisted as if during printing it had a little mishap. While it is still ok as a seven dollar book, I was disappointed to find it not as advertized.

The Kingdom of God is Within You - Tolstoy

Rating: 3/5
Comments:
Very well written and informative, but very repetitive in some spots. I can see how this book would inspire someone like Ghandi to devote his life to fighting social injustice. It is also a good reminder that Jesus means what he says. Many people try to reinterpret or circumvent the Sermon on the Mount, saying things such as "It's holding up an impossible standard." All I can say to that is, "Duh." God has asked his people to do things that are impossible without Him.

Intellectual Christianity

Rating: 3/5
Comments:
This is the textbook for 'Christian Anarchy' but I prefer the Jacques Ellul books. Tolstoy focuses on Christ as a teacher and anti-war figure, much as Martin Luther King was for our day. He rejects all mystical value: the resurrection, miracles, the virgin birth, etc. It is basically a treatise on pacifism as taught by Christ. In the example he gives of an average day in the life of an orthodox Russian Christian, filled with absurd rituals to fend off fear, one can see why he rejected the mysticism. If you are seeking a book on pacifism it's great. If you seek a deeper relationship with God that explores the concept of grace and redemption through Christ you will not find it here.
