All the Ideas Living in My Head: One Guy's Musings about Truth
A bunch of ideas are running around in Don Everts's head. Some are permanent residents. Others are visitors, just passing through. When they all get together, some odd things start happening. It's one thing when the idea Girls Are Kind of Icky gets challenged by Girls Can Be Pretty Darned Interesting. But it gets more complicated when The Old Man Clutching the Big Black Bible meets Higher Criticism. Or when You Are Not Lovable tries to drown out the voice of God Loves You. In this tour of Don's head, we get a glimpse of how we make sense of ideas and how we decide which ones should live with us. We're introduced to Back Door Ideas like Pain Is Bad, Secret Ideas like Lighter Skin Implies Higher Intelligence and Sexy Ideas like Shiny Happy Globalization. How do we determine what ideas win out? Which ideas should get to stay, and who should get kicked out of the house? Here is a book that will help you make sense of the competing ideas you have about life and the world we live in.

Brings perspective....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I just finished this book a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised by this short, yet insightful, piece of writing. One part I appreciated was the author's explanation of how he did not fit into the "modern" or "postmodern" way of thinking, but rather how the ideas in his head interact as people and personalities living in a house, and that's his way of "thinking." That helps me appreciate the complexity of what goes on inside our heads. For a different format than typical bullet point books, and writing that will get you thinking, check out the whole "One Guy's Head" series.
A Very Creative Read

Don Everts is a masterfully creative writer and this book--in fact the whole "One Guys Head Series"--handles postmodern apologetics unlike anything I've read. I highly recommend these books and anything else Don has written for that matter. You won't be disappointed.
