The Obama administration's overreaching and pervasive secularist policies represent the greatest government-directed assault on religious freedom in American history. So argue conservative movement leader Phyllis Schlafly and journalist George Neumayr in their new book; No Higher Power. In No Higher Power; Schlafly and Neumayr show how Obama is waging war on our religious liberties and actively working to create one nation under him rather than one nation under God. "Obama views traditional religion as a temporary opiate for the poor; confused; and jobless—a drug that will dissipate as the federal government assumes more God-like powers; and his new secularist beliefs and policies gain adherents;" write Schlafly and Neumayr. From cutting funding for religious schools to Obama’s deliberate omission of God and religion in public speeches to his assault on the Catholic church; No Higher Power is a shocking and comprehensive look at how Obama is violating one of our most fundamental rights—and remaking our country into a nation our Founding Fathers would hardly recognize.

A great translation and scholarly analysis of the Babylonian creation mythBy Kristina MThis book is a great resource if you desire to expand your understanding of Babylonian mythology and religion. It provides the fullest translation of the Seven Tablets of Creation series in a way that's accurate and easy to understand; without sacrificing the beauty and artistry of the poetic language. I have to say that I disagree with some earlier reviews that say the average/amateur reader is going to enjoy this book. This book is not for those with just a passing fancy for Babylonian mythology. It's an in-depth scholarly analysis not just of the context of the Seven Tablets but also of the translation and transliteration process of the tablets itself. It's not for the faint of heart. I'd say you have to have at least a basic understanding of Babylonian mythology to really appreciate this book. Otherwise; it might feel overwhelming. If this is your first go at Babylonian mythology; or your research is limited to a few choice websites or articles you read online; I'd recommend reading an overall intro to Mesopotamian history and mythology book before taking this on. If you already have that kind of background knowledge; however; this is a great resource to add to your collection.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful.

All in all; a valuable resource to the amateur person who cares about this kind of thing.
