Also known as Great Sand Sea glass, Libyan Desert glass is a type of tektite formed when exposed to extreme heat and pressure. Libyan Desert glass is believed to have been created  by meteor airbursts and impacts in the Sahara, near the border of present day Libya and Egypt, 29 million years ago. The glass is almost pure silica and would have required temperatures above 1,600 °C to form- hotter than any igneous rock found on earth. When not polished to a glass-like shine, Libyan Desert glass features scalloping across its surface due to the millions of years being naturally sandblasted by Saharan winds.

As early as the Paleolithic, civilizations throughout the Sahara have utilized this Great Sand Sea glass by shaping pieces into tools and decorative items. Even jewelry pieces from King Tutankhamun's tomb have been identified as being Libyan desert glass.

Four Views on the Book of Revelation
Format: Kindle
Very thorough and even handed. Good selection of authors to represent various interpretive/ millenial systems. More depth on hermeneutics would have been useful as this is what generates the vast differences in opinions. Introductory coverage of different theological systems prior to the exposition of Revelation is helpful. Good intro to the topic for anyone who wants to get started and good selection of additional reading to supplement the positions taken.

Preterist view
Format: Kindle
I have never been exposed to the preterist view before. Very intriguing, but not long enough. And self referencing in some spots, seems like they think that you should know what they are talking about. For preterist view that is not always the case. I still don't get the postmil view.

Great book to compare different views on Revelation
Format: Kindle
Great book to learn more about contrasting views on the book of Revelation. Unfortunately many Evangelicals do not realize that there are different ways in which the book of Revelation has been approached by Christians. This is a good primer to this discussion.

Easy Read with good case studies!!
Format: Paperback
I had to purchase this for my Advanced Pathophysiology class in my Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. It is very easy to understand and have pretty good case studies. I like that the CD that accompanies the book goes into some detail in explaining the cases further and the disease processes without giving you the answers to the questions. It stimulates one to think!! Once this class is over I will go back from time to time to review!!
