Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Rooted in Scotland Getting to the Heart of Your Scottish Heritage
by
Cameron Taylor
David Coffing
, November 12, 2009
A useful starting point for exploring your Scottish ancestry. The author provides a number of websites and explanations of what each specializes in and what it cannot do as well. Could be a little more in depth, but as a place to begin, Mr Taylor provides a very good resource.

Freemasons
by
Jasper Ridley
David Coffing
, October 05, 2009
Well researched but at times a ponderous read. Ridley provides an impartial and factual account of the history of the Freemasons. Not as detailed as David Stevenson's "The Origins of Freemasonry: Scotland's Century, 1590-1710". Both deserve a place on any Masonic scholars bookshelves.

Origins of Freemasonry Scotlands Century 1590 1710
by
David Stevenson

, December 05, 2008
Outstanding scholarly work. Detailed and insightful. However for those looking for a bit lighter and faster paced read I would suggest you keep looking. Born in Blood is perhaps a bit of an easier read.

Fast Facts on Mormonism
by
John Ankerberg
David Coffing
, April 16, 2008
Although Ankerberg purports to be a "Christian Scholar" he is anything but. Ankerberg's works are a compendium of right-wing psuedo-Christian intolerance, the kind true Christians are at great pains to distance themselves from. Perhaps Ankerberg is frightened of the rapid growth of the Mormon Church...but using that theory, then Ankerberg must be frightened of Islam, Freemasonry, the Catholic Church...etc, etc. His "Fast Facts" series on virtually every religious/social movement that he does not adhere to is puerile garbage. The fact that he passes himself off as a Christian scholar is repugnant, ridiculous and embarassing. Ankerberg's "true teachings of Christianity" only support his narrow, intolerant and hate-filled version of what is, in truest form, a doctrine of love, forgiveness and tolerance.
