The bad Popes
Church history has many side and this book reveals some of the human failings in fulfilling the Great Commission. This is a interesting and fun book detailing the intrigues, avarice and ambition swirling about Rome. I read this many years ago and just re-read it and enjoyed this well-written book about the lives of some of our more notorious leaders, their enemies and the times they lived, loved and fought in.
The bad Popes
For me, the book provided an excellent opportunity to glance at the other side of papacy, the side which the Roman Catholics do not want to talk about, i.e. the totally secular istitution void of spiritual aspirations (sure, there were other popes as well, especially before the Great Schism of 1054, who worthily wore the mitre of the bishops of Rome). One would only wish that the stress of the book was placed not only on the popes' political and financial escapades. The book simply alludes to the pagan or satanic interests of some of the popes but doesn't go into details. Also, the book focuses on a handful of popes, while remarking that there were others no less curious than the ones the reader is presented with. All in all, the book is very informative and is a fast read.
The bad Popes
Sad to see how the Roman Catholic Church has hidden many things from its dark sordid past, a must read

Peaceful Weight Loss Through Yoga
I have struggled for years with being overweight, and I have some serious physical limitations from injuries. I found this book to be a compassionate and practical guide to making changes in a way I could manage. It is well written and intelligent, and surprisingly easy to internalize. Using yoga and meditation to develop a healthy relationship with my body has proven to be an important first step in losing weight and getting healthy. This is not a quick fix book - it is helping me make real and fundamental changes to how I live day to day. I highly recommend it!
Peaceful Weight Loss Through Yoga
This book serves as a guide to peace with oneself - in my opinion, possibly the "final solution" to life-long problems with food and weight, and other similar matters.
