charlie68 | 2 altre recensioni | Dec 19, 2015 | I'm not far into this book but i am not finishing it. Very sad and i am not usually that way but it is now where what it is cracked up to be. You read about movies you watched in th 80's to have some one come with the spiritual oppion on them. Sorry I believe in god but i don't need someone dictateing my movies in to the word of the gospell. Glad this book was free on my kindle because had i paid i would have asked for my money back.

Bettyb30 | 1 altra recensione | Jun 24, 2013 | This is one of those books I picked up and can not tell you honestly why I did it! I am not a huge Coen Brothers fan, in fact I have only ever seen Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and Raising Arizona. One of which I loved (Oh Brother) and the other of which I had a hard time watching till the end of the movie (Raising Arizona).

I am not a huge Coen Brothers fan, in fact I have only ever seen Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and Raising Arizona. One of which I loved (Oh Brother) and the other of which I had a hard time watching till the end of the movie (Raising Arizona). This book basically breaks down every Coen film into what I guess you can call the "Coen Fables". It shows how each are there to teach you a lesson and really a lesson that can linked back to the bible. It would appear that both brothers are minor theologians in their own rights. It was well written and really kind of fun to read! While it probably won't make me run out to rent Fargo, Barton Fink, or the The Big Lebowski; it might mean the next time they are on I won't turn the channel.

thehistorychic | 2 altre recensioni | Jun 13, 2010 | I am notorious for reading the first 30 pages of a book and putting it aside. This book I completed within 30 hours of purchasing. It is excellent. Falsani shares the truth of grace (in ways I could never write - maybe even think) through short accounts of her life - normal life and the active pursuit of experiencing grace for writing this book. The title comes from a letter from Martin Luther. Unfortunately, too many evangelicals will freak out about the title and miss the meaning.
I encourage people to drink in this book.½

smittyvol | 1 altra recensione | Jan 3, 2009 | Nice reading. I'd probably be more impressed if I were religious, but everytime I go by a church, I think, "What are those THINKING?!" But even for a hard-boiled case like myself, it's entertaining.
