A nuanced exploration of the part that religion plays in human life, drawing on the insights of the past in order to build a faith that speaks to the needs of our dangerously polarized age.

Moving from the Paleolithic age to the present, Karen Armstrong details the great lengths to which humankind has gone in order to experience a sacred reality that it called by many names, such as God, Brahman, Nirvana, Allah, or Dao. Focusing especially on Christianity but including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Chinese spiritualities, Armstrong examines the diminished impulse toward religion in our own time, when a significant number of people either want nothing to do with God or question the efficacy of faith. Why has God become unbelievable? Why is it that atheists and theists alike now think and speak about God in a way that veers so profoundly from the thinking of our ancestors?

Answering these questions with the same depth of knowledge and profound insight that have marked all her acclaimed books, Armstrong makes clear how the changing face of the world has necessarily changed the importance of religion at both the societal and the individual level. Yet she cautions us that religion was never supposed to provide answers that lie within the competence of human reason; that, she says, is the role of logos. The task of religion is "to help us live creatively, peacefully, and even joyously with realities for which there are no easy explanations." She emphasizes, too, that religion will not work automatically. It is, she says, a practical discipline: its insights are derived not from abstract speculation but from "dedicated intellectual endeavor" and a "compassionate lifestyle that enables us to break out of the prism of selfhood."

Works great!
Color: Black with Silver
I am absolutely thrilled with the HouseSapp Rechargeable Electric Can Opener! This handy gadget has made opening cans a breeze. It’s so easy to use — simply press a button, and it automatically opens the can smoothly and safely. No more struggling with manual can openers or worrying about sharp edges! The rechargeable feature is fantastic. I love that it’s cordless, which makes it so much more convenient to use anywhere in the kitchen without needing to find an outlet. It holds a charge really well, and I haven’t had to recharge it too often, even after using it multiple times. The design is sleek and modern, fitting comfortably in my hand, and it doesn’t take up too much space in the kitchen drawer. The smooth edge left by the can opener is a huge plus, as it prevents any cuts when handling the lid afterward. Overall, this is a wonderful, practical addition to my kitchen, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hassle-free can-opening experience!

Save your money
Color: Black with Silver
Worked great the first few times and now it doesn’t work at all. It is charged and runs! It just doesn’t cut the cans open. Since I don’t eat a lot of can goods I missed the return window. Save your money!

It heats well.
Finally a warmer that actually keeps my coffee piping hot. This has three settings which is nice for whatever it is you want to keep warm ie; coffee or wax or even crafting. I bought this for my office desk because I get disrupted so my coffee or tea gets cold when I’m busy. I love that it has an auto shut off after 4 hours. 5 stars from me. UPDATE: I LOVE this warmer. This baby gets hot I have to turn down the temp from red to blue. I love that it shuts off after 4 hours. I recommend this.

Nice hand can opener
Color: Black with Silver
Larger than my previous one but works great. I haven't had to use the cord provided to charge it, but I doubt it would be a problem.
