It seems to drive in even though it should be more interesting. I’m definitely learning things. There’s a more religious history than I anticipated. For a book about organization it is remarkably, and ironically, poorly organized. You’d be better off just reading the timeline at the end. 2.6 stars...more

So far a great collection of essays. I realize that this doesn’t represent all Jewish people, but I still think it’s an important perspective. I’m really enjoying this so far. I’m a little hesitant to compare Israel to the far right but perhaps that’s just rethinking that I need to do. 4.4 stars...more

It’s a little hard to read because it doesn’t flow smoothly, but I’m enjoying the topic. There’s no complete overview of exactly what happened so you sort of have to piece it together yourself but it’s easy to do. It could have been a little better but I still really liked it and would recommend it. 3.9 stars...more

You deserve a bOh boy… I’ve been reading a lot of self help books that have been maddeningly unhelpful. This is a breath of fresh air. What a relief. You deserve a break and you deserve to read this. I admit that I have never heard of the Nap Ministry before I just liked the name of the book and I’m so glad I picked it up. The amount of tension I can feel in my body trying to escape while I read this book is so concerning but I’m so thankful that it has been brought to my attention by the book. I can literally feel my heart rate slow as I read this. I love this book. A must-read for leftists. 4.8 stars...more
