#52,903 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)

This was a very well written trilogy. I greatly enjoyed going on this journey with Binti. I read a lot of sci-fi but these novellas felt like a completely different perspective on the genre. Binti and her story were unique and very intriguing. I loved Binti's character development as she tries to navigate peace between two waring people and peace within herself as she is changed physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally by everything she goes through. I would highly recommend these books!

Intuitive knowledge, ancestral wisdom, universal connection represented through mathematics, the diverse nature of self hood, the nature of autony, the nature of tribe, and the painful journey of living, growing, and becoming more, every day.The fact that the journey is painful and filled with tragedy does not diminish you, it enriches you, for if you somehow survive that suffering, you are that much the wiser, that much the stronger, that much *more* than you were before. Thanks to Nnedi Okarafor for reflecting back to me my intuitions about the nature of the universe, self, the power of who we are and all that makes us that way, and infinite nature of life, growth, and connection. It is a great comfort to me to know that I am not alone in these thoughts and feelings, to hear another woman feel the beat of ancestral rhythms in her blood that tell her of things long forgotten, to see another woman grasp tightly to that wisdom and find a way to do what I so long to do myself, to give thaf forgotten wisdom new life in stories that can be heard by this new world, which is reborn every day.

Love the growth shown by Binti, who comes of age on her own terms, battling tradition, tribe and family. Her coming of age is unlike any I have read before and held my interest throughout.

I'm feeling ripped off buy these short novellas. When read together the story is still incomplete. I like the character Binti, but I won't continue with this series.

This is a series that starts off really strong—enough so that I'd say the first book, Binti, is one of the most enjoyable novellas I've ever read, as well as one of my favorite adult sci-fi reads ever.While the first novella lacks a bit in world-building, it more than makes up for that absence with character development. I loved Binti as a character and really treasured her thirst for knowledge and her bravery despite all of the immense obstacles trying to hold her back from her future. Okwu, on the other hand, I had mixed feelings about at first, but quickly came to treasure as a character despite the rocky nature of their meeting.The thing about this series is that it can almost be hard to know who you want to root for, because everyone is flawed and history is muddled—which I found incredibly true-to-life for many circumstances, especially considering histories of wars and feds, so I appreciated that there were no "perfect" groups or characters in the equation.Unfortunately, I'll admit that the series did become less enjoyable for me as time went on. The second novella, Home, was still a very fun read, but it became tougher for me to reason with the lack of world-building and the random info dumps; on the other hand, though, The Night Masquerade went too far in the opposite direction and gave me too much information and history with too little action and character development.Minor complaints aside, I wholeheartedly recommend this series. It's an incredibly quick trilogy to get through, there's a gorgeous portrayal of culture and how significant cultural history and rituals can be to people—especially to individuals who have a history of being oppressed, like Binti's people, the Himba—and, if you're a fan of audiobooks, I strongly recommend Robin Miles' delivery of these stories.

Binti: Binti is the first novella in the Binti series (makes sense) and I’ve heard nothing but praise about the series for about a year now. So naturally I had to make some time and read these ones. It’s not every day you see the people of Twitter agreeing on something. If you take a moment to look up Nnedi Okorafor’s Goodreads page, you’ll see that she’s an incredibly prolific writer. It actually has one hundred and two books listed, which is crazy impressive. Some of them are novellas for the Binti series, others are standalones. All are going to get added to my TBR list, if this one novella is any indication of her writing. Also noteworthy for the novella, it won the 2015 Nebula for best novella, as well as a Hugo award. So if the praise found online hadn’t been enough to convince me that would have been. Binti is a warm and uplifting tale about space exploration, humanity as a whole, and the alien races we come across (and most importantly, how their lack of being human doesn’t mean they’re not sentient or worthy of respect). It explores the concept of home, otherness, and what it means to be part of something bigger. Binti has to be one of the more enchanting stories I’ve read this year. Her character is so full of life and passion, it’s impossible not to love her right from the start. Especially as she steps out into the unknown, completely alone and unsupported by her people. You see, Binti is the first of the Himba people to leave their desert. She’s certainly the first to leave her world. Her people don’t believe in traveling, or in trusting outsides. But she has done both of those things, and she can never take that back. She has no choice but to move forward, and move forward she does. Watching her adapt to the situations she’s in, dealing with the unexpected trials and tribulations, and most of all, find a way to keep her culture in the midst of all of it…it was breathtaking. I believe Binti is the perspective I’ve been longing to see in space exploration all this time. She’s compassionate, stubborn, driven, and grounded. She doesn’t have to be an action hero to save lives, nor does she need to be of a person’s race or species to empathize with them. In short, she’s what we should all aspire to be like. I loved Binti, and I personally can’t wait to start reading the next one. There are two more novellas, to my knowledge; Home and The Night Masquerade (that one is the cover that originally brought my attention to the series, actually). There’s also a completed collection of the three, unsurprisingly title Binti: The Complete Trilogy. So it’s your call in how you want to read the three of them.Binti: The Sacred Fire Binti: The Sacred Fire was an unexpected short story I came across while reading Binti: The Complete Trilogy. It’s a true short story, instead of a novella. But honestly, it felt so much more in depth than one would expect in such a short time frame. This short follows Binti as she adapts to her new life and in many ways, her new body. It was really wonderful to get inside her head a bit more here. To really see the clashing cultures of Binti’s life. The old versus the new. The traditional versus the modern.Binti has come up against so much, and so much has changed. It’s no wonder she needs some time to process everything. Luckily for Binti, there are some understanding people in her school. The few supportive people she finds should be an important support structure for her. At least, I hope we’ll see them in the following two novellas. I’ve come to like them in this very short time.Binti: Home Home is the second novella in the Binti trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor. It takes place about a year after the events in Binti. That means it’s been a year since Binti resolved the war between two races. A year since she arrived on another planet. A year since she started class at Oozma University. A year since she’s been home.There’s a short story in between the first novella and the second, called The Sacred Fire that I would absolutely look into.This was a beautifully written novella. Binti was so lost and confused – as many in her position would be. She’s had to learn to be herself thousands of miles from home, having lost the support structure she grew up with. She knows she turned against her culture in some ways, while desperately clinging to what she has left.If that wasn’t enough, she also has the trauma of what she went through to get here, and the physical changes brought onto her because of her proximity to it all. So, of course, Binti is lost and confused. It makes perfect sense.Binti’s search for finding peace within and for herself was beautifully written. She has so much to balance in her life, and while some of it may seem to surreal to put ourselves in her shoes, many other elements feel so familiar that it aches.The revelations about Binti’s culture and her family was fascinating. It explains so much about her character; who she is and why she has made some of the choices in her past. It put an interesting light on the whole situation.I’m very much looking forward to reading the third novella in the series, The Night Masquerade. I have a lot of questions that still need answers, and I’m counting on the final novella for all of that.Binti: The Night Masquerade The Night Masquerade is the third and I believe final novella in the Binti trilogy. Part of me hopes that the series will continue, but I also have to acknowledge that it had the perfect ending here, so it is what it is I suppose. Binti: The Night Masquerade was actually the first novella I spotted about Binti, and is in truth the reason I searched for the beginning and wanted to read everything. I feel in love with the cover, the title, and the description. I’m going to be up front and honest with you here; this novella made me cry. A lot. It was exquisitely written and managed to perfectly tug at my heartstrings. I felt so much for Binti and everything she believed in and worked for. It was impossible not to be emotionally moved by some of the events that occurred in The Night Masquerade. This novella was everything I could have hoped for when it comes to a conclusion for Binti’s story. It was beautiful, it was compelling, and it had so much going on within it. It also gave a strong sense of closure – though I wouldn’t say that the door is shut either. There’s room to continue if Nnedi Okorafor chose to do so. I haven’t compared the page count between the three novellas, but I feel like this one was the longest of the three. It certainly felt like more happened during the course of it, at least. So perhaps my perception is skewed because of that. I’ll admit that there were parts of this series that reminded me a lot of other series. Like Three Fish – she absolutely reminded me of Farscape. But other parts of the series felt whole unique – a set of circumstances blended together into something truly different. I loved Binti’s journey; her determination and drive as well as her devotion to her history and familial beliefs. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to try and balance so many different and sometimes even opposing hopes and beliefs. While I’m sad that the series appears to be over, I’m looking forward to seeing what Nnedi Okorafor will come up with next.

England and France were embroiled in war on many fronts in 1758. The Seven Years War was raging. French, God-fearing Huguenots continued to seek refuge in England. Political and religious unrest produced fertile ground for spying. Ask Sir Gabriel Courtenay, a most unscrupulous nobleman. Sir Gabriel made Genevieve Planche an offer she couldn't refuse.Genevieve was a third generation descendant from a line of French Huguenot refugees. She lived with her grandfather, Pierre Billiou, in Spitalfields,London. Pierre discouraged Gen's interest in oil painting since women were barred from the Royal Academy. "No lady of a good family could take art lessons". It seemed unlikely that Gen would be apprenticed to a great artist in order to learn proper technique and composition. Approached by Sir Gabriel, she was offered a path to Venice, an "enlightened" city, where she might find a master painter to help her achieve her dream.Pressured by her grandfather, Gen had accepted a so called "coveted" position at Derby Porcelain Works. The job entailed painting designs on porcelain vases, plates and sculptures. Gen felt she would be "...sent away to be trapped in a Derby manufactory condemned to decorate the objects of the rich and frivolous". With this position, Sir Gabriel informed Gen that she would be "ideally placed" to learn the secret formula for "...a blue the world has not seen before...a different way of seeing blue". Who is the elusive chemist who has created this "blue"? While Gen tries to locate the secret formula, her every move is being watched. Is Derby Porcelain Works secure? Could Gen be perceived as a French spy? If so, would a porcelain company in Sevres, France reap the rewards from ill-gotten gains?What if Genevieve wants to extricate herself from the fact finding quest for the chemist and the sought after blue? Questioning the morality of this operation, the possibility of imprisonment for criminality and casting aside the possibility of true love, Gen finds herself at a crossroads. What path will she choose?"The Blue" by Nancy Bilyeau is a riveting novel of historical fiction. Bilyeau has thoroughly researched the art of porcelain making and the importance of the color blue to artists of 18th Century England and France. The issues faced by French Huguenots living in England are discussed. The detailed character development of Genevieve Planche and the many other primary and secondary players was spot on. One's moral compass could arguably be at odds with greed or obsession while trying to achieve financial or artistic success. I found "The Blue" by Nancy Bilyeau to be an amazing historical read that was replete with crime and intrigue.Thank you to The Pigeonhole for your serialized ARC. I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation of "The Blue". Thank you to Endeavor Quill Publishers and Nancy Bilyeau. I felt totally immersed in life at the Derby Porcelain Works through the first person narrative of Genevieve Planche!Thank you for the opportunity to read "The Blue" in exchange for an honest review.

I am a fan of the author and have read her other three books in her original Joanna Stafford The Crown series. My mother always said never to judge a book by its cover, but I loved this cover -- I was really drawn to it, and I really loved this book. The Blue, her fourth novel, definitely doesn't disappoint. The book is well-researched. As a lover of historical fiction, that is something I really appreciate. The Blue actually transported me to another place and time with a little bit of romance and a lot of suspense. The main character, Genevieve, who dreams of being an artist, feels she is not being taken seriously in the male-dominated art world in London. She then becomes involved with the world of fine porcelain and industrial espionage and that's when things really get interesting!!!! This character is strong and well-drawn and the suspenseful plot kept me up into the wee hours, neglecting my more mundane responsibilities. Definitely my favorite historical fiction read of 2018.

The term refugee as we know it was first applied to the Huguenots who fled France. Google has graphs of the density of use of certain words. The graph for refugee starts with a few slim uses in the 18th century and slowly climbs in importance. By 2010, the year the graph ends, it was near the top of the chart. Just one of the many ways that Bilyeau smoothly and seamlessly creates a set of characters that somehow manage to survive a compelling plot (this reader stayed up to the point of collapse two nights in a row in order to finish the book) and yet get us to reflect on the cultural tensions we live in today.Because with the refugee comes exile. With artistic vocation, the necessity to produce artistic work that can sell. With a religious conscience, the struggle with temptation. With desire, passion and ambition, the need for dissimulation, discretion, and compromise.Let’s start with Genevieve. A woman artist who can’t even apprentice herself to a seasoned artist. There is just no approved way for her to learn. A dashing aristocratic spy sucks her in to his web of intrigue with the promise that she will be able to pursue the life of artistic creation she longs for. Thus begins an edge-of-the seat narrative in which Genevieve’s religious beliefs — and the ethical code she has derived from her religion — are put repeatedly to the test.No less artistic is the mysterious Thomas Sturbridge, an artist who’s art manifests itself through chemicals. Like the dashing spy, Sturbridge just wants the space and resources he needs to create. He shares an obsession for the color blue with many other characters in the novel, including two kings. But not just any blue: the blue, a transcendent blue, a blue that makes the viewer weep and think of heaven and repent their sins. His is a pragmatic philosophy, a philosophy that refuses to see the world as divided into two camps.In spite of his easy-going nature, his pragmatism, his genius and his physical beauty, or perhaps become of those things, Thomas Sturbridge, the tragic chemist. and Genevieve find themselves at the center of knottier and knottier web of intrigues and betrayals.The catalyst for all this backstabbing (sometimes literal!) and cloak-and-dagger escapes is porcelain, that most seductive of commodities — at least to the 18th century eye. Bilyeau manages to reach across time and make the reader feel our ancestor’s lust for the smooth, white product of mud and fire and the colors and images it is decorated with.

If you have any common sense at all, you do not need this book. My wife and I are definitely considered seniors. The iPhone 6S is our first smart phone. Neither one of us had any knowledge about how to use this phone. We were both looking forward to receiving this book. By the time the book arrived we had figured out just about everything covered in the book. All the questions we do have, are not covered in the book. You would figure a book of this length would answer a lot of questions, WRONG! The length is comprised of LARGE TYPE and a lot of pictures. My wife read the book from cover to cover and told me she didn't learn anything she hadn't already figured out for herself. I wish I had read a review like this before I ordered the book.

Wonderful basic book of instructions for an older person just starting with an iPhone. Print is big and pictures and examples are clear. Doesn't give you more than most old people will ever need.

Perfect for folks who did not "grow up" with these electronics. Assumes you no nothing so it does not skip any steps. You may quickly outgrow this book, but it is priceless when you first get that new phone and do not know how to operate it.

Helpful for seniors.

I cannot believe there is NOTHING in the book about calendars-- what good ?? GOING BACK

Arrived on time and secured packaging. Very informative. Recommend

Easy to follow instructions for Seniors. Large print appreciated.

Not nearly as helpful as I has hoped

This review is... a bit problematic, since as much as I enjoyed this book I felt that there were some things holding it back that kept me from fully "loving it"! Still, I'm going to be generous and give this 5 stars, but all together my true thoughts are that this is a 4.5 star book.So, what exactly is this book about? Well, Christian Doctrine speaks about the general theology of Christianity (obviously), albeit from a Reformed point of view. However, rather than Guthrie writing strictly from a Presbyterian point of view, he instead explains the "Reformed" view is more of a theology, something that any Christian from any denomination can follow and preach. Altogether, his work focuses on the theology of his teacher, Karl Barth, and explains some truths and misconceptions about the Bible. One such example is the idea of evangelization; not only do we go out to convert people so that they will be saved from Hell, but also so that they can know God, be liberated from their sinful sides, and reconcile their relationships with God, people, and the world around them.Altogether, for me, it was a tremendous book and not only taught me a lot but also helped me strengthen my faith. At the time of reading this book, I was going through a crisis of faith, one that was more about questions over "Is God truly loving?" and "Is Heaven perfect for everyone, or will everyone be the exact same there?" as well as the traditional/typical "Is God real?" questions. After reading this though, it really did help me understand this all better; not to the extent where I would put Christian Doctrine as an equal to the Bible (far from it), but I do think that Guthrie's own wisdom and advice really did help me understand better and I grew in my relationship with God.Along with this, one of the things I respected most about Guthrie was his willingness to become vulnerable--while he was clear on what his theological beliefs were (at least when he decided to share them), at the beginning of the book he does encourage the readers to understand that he is only human and therefore it is okay, even good, to disagree with him. Having been around many theologians who have acted as if they have a monopoly on theology, or at least don't want to ever consider anyone else's view if it didn't align with their own, this was a refreshing and wonderful view.Granted... that doesn't mean this is a perfect book. Putting aside the fact that I have at least some bias, due to this book helping me when I was in a crisis of faith, there are some times where Guthrie's choice of words are... difficult to understand, to say the least. One such example is when he discusses love between humans of the same sex (in a general way, such as through familiar or sibling love), he does state that we shouldn't assume that the Bible blesses homosexual marriage, yet afterwards goes on to state that we shouldn't also believe that these unions should be judged individually and without bias. For me, this was a bit confusing; my best guess is that Guthrie was either saying that we shouldn't assume the Bible has one interpretation about homosexuality or that while same-sex marriage might not be Biblical, homosexual union itself isn't. Even though I don't think this is, ultimately, an incredibly big problem, it still is a heated debate in the contemporary church and some more insight would have been appreciated.Similarly, when he speaks about death, he takes what appears to be a Christian Mortalist/Non-Reductive Physicalist view (that there is no "spiritual" Heaven or Hell, and that when we die we "cease to be" but that the Resurrection will see us completely restored to life), which implies to me him saying that any form of afterlife is nonexistent or is at least doubtful in the Christian tradition. Yet, once again, he states that this view of death does not mean we cannot hope for an "afterlife", which once again could either refer to the Resurrection or could mean he is saying that our souls/consciousness existing after our bodies have died as possible but ultimately unnatural. Altogether, these and other arguments make his writing seem a little odd and confusing.Regardless, I still feel that Christian Doctrine is a great, maybe even underrated, book and many more people should read it--especially in comparison to other theology books (my recommendations would be Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and The Orthodox Way by Bishop Kallistos Ware). While I can't say, at least with full confidence, that Christian Doctrine will become a revolutionary game-changer for the Christian Church or Guthrie will take a place as one of the "great contemporary theologians" like C.S. Lewis or Karl Barth, I will say that this is a book that not only makes for an incredible and easy read but also can open your eyes, and mind, to not just new interpretations, but also more knowledge as to what could be "truly Biblical".

This is not the dry book that one expects a book entitled "Christian Doctrine" to be. One might think a book on Christian Doctrine could be dry and even divisive, advocating his particular position on doctrinal issues. Instead, he explores doctrinal issues, explores the various positions, offers thought-provoking ideas, and then leaves you to determine your thoughts and position. Well done! A great resource that I will review time and time again.

An unusually accessible and impressive volume detailing the typical reformed position on a host of theological issues: creation, predestination, sanctification, the future, sin, etc... The author is an excellent teacher and offers some really compelling justifications for why one's traditionally accepted views on one or more of the book's topics might be ready for an update. Highly recommended.

Purchased book for college course work. Learned about the different doctrines of theology. Book was easy to understand which was excellent because my coursework is online classes. It took the meaning of Jesus to higher level of understanding. I will probably read several more times even though I am finished with my class. Would recommend to this book to anyone that is in ministry.

This is THE go-to book for Presbyterian (Reformed) theology. Shirley was my theology professor in seminary, which does make me a tad prejudice, but he explains tough issues such as predestination with both depth and clarity. For laity and clergy alike. Can't do any better.

Absolutely love this book for my theology study. It's from the reformed tradition (mainly Presbyterian) and breaks down doctrine in an easy to understand way.

A required book for me to get. Arrived in perfect condition.

Years ago in theological school this was our standard doctrine text. I have used it for many years because it is so accessible, so thorough and so wise. Because it is so readable, I have often loaned it to people who were puzzling over difficult issues (the redemption section, in particular)... and I suppose that is where my original copy went. Now I have this replacement copy - and I will mark down who borrows it from now on!!! Couldn't live without it.
