First published in 1952, The Devils of Loudun is Aldous Huxley's thrilling account of one of
history's most sensational cases of mass demonic possession. In seventeeth-century France, an entire Catholic convent is apparently possessed by the devil. Urban Grandier, a charismatic priest, is accused of being in league with Satan and seducing the nuns - both spiritually and sexually. After a much-publicized trial, Grandier is burnt at the stake for witchcraft. This gripping true history of Grandier and the nuns of Loudun is told by one of the master storytellers of the 20th century. Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was born in Surrey, England, and is the author of many critically acclaimed books of fiction and nonfiction, including Brave New World, The Doors of Perception, and Island. "Huxley's masterpiece and perhaps the most enjoyable book about spirituality ever written. In telling the grotesque, bawdy and true story of a 17th-century convent of cloistered French nuns who contrived to have a priest they never met burned alive as a warlock ... Huxley painlessly conveys a wealth of information about mysticism and the unconscious." - Washington Post Book WorldBinding Type: Paperback

Great Read

Have always loved John Mark Comer's voice and tone as an author. He breaks down heavy and emotional concepts in an easy to read and understand way backed by scripture.

Great book to read if you want to get married.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
As someone who doesn't read a lot, I loved this book. The author did a great job keeping me engaged, and I appreciate his transparency. These topics aren't always talked about in Christian settings unless they're within the context of marriage. This book is perfect for someone who is single, dating, or in a relationship, and wants to get married.

The Amazing, Original View of Sex, Marriage and Romance.
Format: Hardcover
Two words: So. Good.
I hadn't read anything by John Mark Comer before, but now I'm definitely looking at reading his other books. The depth, honesty, intensity and openness of Loveology really makes it a great tool for getting God's perspective on some of the most important topics in life. So good. As a young man (not even in my twenties yet), this was a great, consuming, eye-opening book that I'm so grateful God allowed me to read. I saw a video for it on Jefferson Bethke's YouTube channel and knew from that moment that I needed to read it. Although it took a few months, I finally ordered the book and got in the mail a few days later. The information and perspective this book both gave me and enforced are priceless.
If you're a young man (or "teenager), and a Christian one a that, you NEED to read this book. If you're a young woman (or "teenager"), and a Christian one at that, you also NEED to read this book. As the younger generation, this is stuff we need to get. We have our entire lives ahead of us, and the more things we do God's way the first time around, the more He can do through us and for us as we continue down our path for life. Sexuality, marriage, romance, and God's place in all of this has been so freaking warped and twisted in our spiraling American culture. We need God's truth on this topic like *crazy.* Everyone does, but especially Christian youth. God has amazing things for us to do, but we can't do those things if we have bad relationships, wrong views of sex or warped ideas of marriage standing in the way. And while this book is definitely not the only way for us to get this truth, it is an extremely good start.

A great dive into "love"
Format: Hardcover
A perhaps too easy-to-read book with an interesting perspective on the concept of love, sex, and romantic relationships. It provided for me a mostly pleasant confrontation with my beliefs about love. Props to the author for the ballsy somewhat "counter-cultural" content. Good read for all interested in the idea of love, regardless of one's belief.
