Paul Bonart

Mark Backman, 2007

voices from the past that must be remembered
The lessons of the past and it's meaning for the present/future are clear in Bonart's book. Not all Germans were blindly following Hitler... some had their votes thrown out, some were silenced, and some joined the underground. Paul and his wife Bertha's story of non-violent resistance against the Nazi, is one that must be read. It's a well told true story that holds the voices of people who ...

Charles M. Schulz

Henry Holt & Company, Inc., 1959

Absolutely great!
This wonderful collection of Peanuts cartoons was originally published in 1959. As with other Peanuts books, this one has two strips of four frames each, all of then from 1957-59. This means that these stories include Lucy, Violet, Pig-Pen and Schroeder, but not Sally or Rerun. As with all of the Peanuts books, this one is absolutely great, and if you can get it, then do so! In it you will see ...

Tenna Merchent

Joyous Messenger, Inc, 2007

Read this book
Tenna Merchent's honest account of her efforts to recover her little boy "on the brink" of autism addresses the many elements necessary for recovery when a family is confronted with the trainwreck of metabolic causes and issues that underlie this disorder which the medical community still overlooks in diagnosing autism as a whole-body disorder (as opposed to simply a "behavioral problem"). For ...

Morgan James Publishing, 2004

Eye opening and unexpected! Heart Changing!
I was unable to put the book down. This book gives a new perspective on educators and the hard, thankless job they perform day in and day out. Now throw in the fact they are Christian educators with an even higher responsibility! Wow, you just have to read it to understand. The 2 voices speak loud and clear. You must own this book. It will open your eyes and change your heart.

Fodor's, 1999

Fantastic and unique
Having spent a lot of time looking for information on imaginative & fun (and sometimes luxury) travel with kids, I can tell you that this is a really unique book. It is comprehensive, carefully researched and well written with loads of practical tips. Some 'travel with kids' books might as well just be bland advertising copy, this one really provides good editorial content, with positive and ...

Jean E. Karl

Laurel Leaf, 1984

I'm not usually for Sci-fi, but this book kicks ---
With characters, that are unique, intrining, and you can relate to, a thrilling plot, and a imaginative and creative setting, But We are Not of Earth, by Jean Karl is the best book since Sci-fi hit big with Star Wars. When Rom, Waver, Gloust, and Bisty, known as The Terible Four, embark on a mission to the mysterious Sector 22 they find the beautiful plant Ariel. It is much like what primetive ...

I have had this in my waiting room for several years and find that people over 70 (and a few younger) are taken with it. I found it enlightening and it gave texture to a generation

In God WE Trust, but only as a last resort
My mother was visiting with me and was telling me what a good book this was for building our trust in God and then at the end of the book the publishing company had omitted 16 pages from 105 to 121. She really enjoyed the book and would like to read the omitted pages. Could you please help us to secure this pages. Thank you and God Bless.

Paul Siegel

Booklocker.com, 2004

Cooperating to end terrorism
In his book "We Don't Agree, but ... How to Live in an Age of Terrorism", Paul Siegel argues strongly that competition in the United States has become a "secular religion". Paul paints a picture of a society so obsessed with "winning" that it makes its three-year olds compete for entrance to a pre-school, and teaches its commercial leaders that "business resembles nothing so much as war itself". ...

Lisa Belcher Hamilton

Paraclete Press (MA), 2001

I wish I'd have known of this book...
when my wife, Jennifer, died in June 2000. There is a time of spiritual suffering that every believer must face. There are the great questions, the deep valleys followed by even deeper ones. There is incredible and acute loneliness, followed by guilt at the occasional joy and laughter. I struggled very much after losing my Jennifer. The Psalms, in which so many find comfort, were difficult. ...

Reiman

Reminisce Books, 1992

Excellent Oral History!
So many textbooks are a dry series of graphs and charts with very little of interest to the everyday reader. This book, while not a texbook per se, teaches in a lively "You Are There" kind of way. The stories in this book, as well as others in this series, are taken from people who actually lived during these trying times. This is the way history and basic social studies should be taught; ...

T. N. McGill

Vantage Pr, 2003

Inspiring story of strength and persistence...
Because this book was written by my theology teacher, there was no way that I was going to pass this book up. And I'm glad I didn't. The book left me with an inspired feeling that a person truly can make it through anything with perseverance and determination. Sometimes things don't work out, but in the end, all of our trials make us stronger. If you're looking for an inspiring story, don't ...

Great book for kids!
This is a great book for children. It explains the "love" chapter of 1 Cor 13 in terms they can understand. Illustrations are bright and colorful. We just love the "My favorite verses" series.

Preaching From a Pulpit of Bones, We Need Morality but not Traditional Morality

1 review
Bob Avakian

Banner Pr, 1999

Steps into the burning question of morality
I use this book in a communications course at Columbia College in Chicago that aims to develop interpersonal, writing and speaking skills. It both anchors that claim upon their attention and provides an opening to other authors with very different perspectives than Avakian's. The book steps into this burning question, the moral crisis in the U.S., a crisis tearing at the fabric of society and ...
