Rust<\/strong><br \/>\nThe commentator has little regard for Biblical authority and undermines the doctrines of inspiration and inerrancy on almost every page. I do not recommend this commentary. See <a href=\"blog\/2013\/20130719-11790.htm\">my full review<\/a> for examples.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Unbroken<\/em> by Laura Hillenbrand<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you didn&#8217;t read this back in 2011-2012 when all the other Nightstand-ers were raving about it, you should definitely go out and get yourself a copy and start reading now. This is a fantastic true story set primarily during World War II.

Perhaps my only complaint is that some of the ingredients were &#8220;specialty&#8221; type ingredients that I don&#8217;t normally keep on hand.
