The Canterbury PuzzlesThere is really a practical utility in puzzle solving, remarked English mathematician and puzzle creator Henry Dudeney. Regular exercise is supposed to be as necessary for the brain as for the body. Many of us are very apt to suffer from mental cobwebs, and there is nothing equal to the solving of puzzles and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination and develop the reasoning faculties. One of England's
There is really a practical utility in puzzle-solving, remarked English mathematician and puzzle creator Henry Dudeney. Regular exercise is supposed to be as necessary for the brain as for the body. Many of us are very apt to suffer from mental cobwebs, and there is nothing equal to the solving of puzzles and problems for sweeping them away. They keep the brain alert, stimulate the imagination and develop the reasoning faculties.One of England's greatest composers of mathematical puzzles, Henry Dudeney (1847-1930) had a talent for finding solutions to problems that seemed unsolvable. With only a basic education as background, he began creating puzzles for a local paper when he was only nine years of age; later in life, he developed sophisticated mathematical problems requiring subtle skills.
This unique book for challenge-loving teenagers and veteran puzzle solvers of all ages presents more than 110 of Dudeney's puzzles -- not as individual problems but as incidents in connected stories. The first 31 problems are posed by the pilgrims in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: additional puzzles are presented using different characters in other venues. Many require only the ability to exercise logical or visual skills; others, like the Ribbon Problem or The Riddle of St. Edmonsbury, offer a stimulating challenge to the mathematically advanced. In all cases, solutions are provided at the end.
An extremely ingenious book which abounds in problems that will keep the reader busy for hours. -- Manchester Guardian

Dare to believe and be encouraged.
Format: Kindle
This book has increased my faith, and I believe every word written in this book as my spirit bears witness to these writings. All I think about now is visiting heaven, and being able to speak to the saints. The word says we will do the works that Jesus did, and I use to think just about healing, but Jesus did so much more. He raised the dead, walked on water, walked through walls. It's time to think out of the box and into the supernatural.

I often wondered why God took Enoch home before his time was up here on earth. I also wondered who the two witnesses in the book of Revelation would be. I guessed correctly. This book answers those questions by the two witnesses themselves.I enjoyed reading Matthew's book and would recommend it to those who also wonder like me!

Mind-blowing and revealing! Putting the puzzle pieces together with an interview with both Enoch and Elijah to make sense out of the witnesses in Revelation.

Too "out there" for me.
Format: Kindle
Not judging, as I can only speak for myself. Just had to put it down and walk away, because it didn't ring true in my spirit.
