Book Overview

Beginning with an examination of the form of church government practiced in the New Testament, the author shows where modern patriarchal church government has gone far astray from the Bible. Calling herself a "weak" patriarchist, she explores several possible interpretations of Paul's restrictions against women in church eldership. The book also examines flaws in the theologies of both complementarianism and egalitarianism. LOSING JESUS warns the reader about the current problems of modern patriarchy, but it resists the temptation to do away with patriarchy altogether. Instead, the author shows the reader the many different sides of the question of ordaining women elders, without making up the readers' minds for them. The book is illuminating and sometimes surprising, but it makes room for the reader's own conscience and allows readers to draw their own conclusions in this often heated controversy.

Interesting book

The falling season is a tough book to review, since I am involved in SAR work, not in Colorado though. First off the author is an excellent writer and keeps the book moving along. He gets into the personalities of the team members and when you do SAR work you realize that it is the interrelationships of the team personal that make or breaks your team. I think Mr. Clifford does a good job in detailing the day to day nuances...

An excellent account of the operation of SAR

Tha Falling Season gives readers an inside look at the operations of one of America's best rescue teams, Aspen Mountain Rescue. This fast paced book also lets us inside the personal lives of several key team members and shows us the triumphs and conflict that inevitably exist in such groups. Truly an excellent book for anyone interested in search and rescue and outdoor sports or mountaineering.

the "art" of integrity is almost lost, but Hal found some

in Search and Rescue and this could have been any SAR team, any County, USA. The general press gets us wrong every time but Hal got it right. Thank you for a sometimes tearful, often funny and believable read of one of the many sides of a multi-faceted SAR team. PS: the past pres. should get over it!

a page-turner

Clifford's prose is clean and he's gifted in his ability to hear dialogue and paint realistic descriptions, which draw the reader into the stories in this book. Like all good rescue books, this one is chilling and there are some gruesome details. However, the book doesn't exploit the victims of mountaineering accidents - the author is empathetic to the frailties of both victims and their rescuers.

Like "Into Thin Air" or "Perfect Storm", you will like this.

A biased and straight forward view of the famous Aspen Search and rescue team from one of it's own. The rescues are real accounts, the effects on the rescuers are real, and the thoughts and interactions between the people are real. The book puts you into the shoes of the rescuers and tells the stories and follys of everyday people from the point of view of their heros. We see the struggle, the teamwork, and the impact...
