Amazing book and inspiring lyrics
Our daughter loves this book and CD. She sings it beautifully and has learned the value of God always being by her side. When a classmate was sick in the hospital, she gave her this book to comfort her so we ordered another one!!

The Greek Myths: Illustrated Edition

30 reviews
Robert Graves

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992

The Definitive Edition of the Greek Myths
Robert Graves is known for his eccentricities and eclectic readings of the classic Greek myths. But this is the definitive edition because it gives the literary sources, from Homer to Pausanias and many others. I also own the Folio Society's slipcased, handsomely illustrated edition of the same work. For reasons that I cannot even guess at, its editors decided to omit the sources, an omission ...

I Love You This Much
My 3 young daughters and I love this book. It's a beautifully written story. The illustrations are lovely. And, best of all, it comes with a cassette that has the entire story sung as lyrics to a lovely, lovely tune. I brought it to Sunday School to share with the preschoolers, and they were mesmerized through the entire storytelling session. As they listened to the song, they obviously found the ...

The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols (Dictionary, Penguin)

Jean Chevalier, Alain Gheerbrant

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1997

A book full of surprise
My teacher recommanded this dictionary to me (she got a copy of original French version). After I got this book I had a quick check of it. However, I couldn't stop when I started reading it! I found myself being "absorbed" in this book! I read it not as a dictionary but a book full of surprise. Although there ain't so many beautiful pictures in this book, I'd still like to recommand it. But if ...

Safety in Numbers: Nurse-to-patient Ratios and the Future of Health Care (The Culture and Politics of Health ...
Suzanne Gordon, John Buchanan, ...

Cornell University Press, 2008

Legally mandated nurse-to-patient ratios are one of the most controversial topics in health care today. Ratio advocates believe that minimum staffing levels are essential for quality care, better working conditions, and higher rates of RN recruitment and retention that would alleviate the current global nursing shortage. Opponents claim that ratios will unfairly burden hospital budgets, while reducing management flexibility in addressing patient ...

Being Church, Becoming Community

2 reviews
John M. Buchanan

Westminster John Knox Press, 1996

Hopeful encouragement and reflection on church life
John Buchanan has written a book that will uplift many a pastor and church member. He reflects on what it means for local churches to be and do community, in the context of his experience as pastor of a large, downtown church. In some respects, Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago is quite distinctive; yet Buchanan's discussion of the meaning of church and church life feels in no way ...

Le Mot Juste: A Dictionary of Classical and Foreign Words and Phrases

6 reviews

Vintage, 1991

C'EST UN BON LIVRE
In a world where many foreign words and phrases have become increasingly common in both spoken and written English, this book is almost a necessity. It clarifies numerous words and phrases from Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Yiddish that are used, and just as often, misused, by English speakers and writers. A few examples: Under French we find "maison de societe" ...

The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolution in the Carolinas

32 reviews
John Buchanan

Wiley, 1999

a good military history of the Southern campaign
This is a well-written, thorough book about the Revolutionary War in the Southern colonies, primarily from 1779 - 1781. John Buchanan, a former archivist and popular historian, is able to write with depth about the conflict in the Carolinas and Georgia, but never loses sight of the changing strategies of the rebellion and the British military. In many ways, this is a story of civil war, as the ...

Angels Watching over Me (Song of God's Love, A)

Blessing
Angels Watching Over Me, Lynn Hodges & Sue Buchanan: The text touches my whitehaired child's spirit with the love of God. Then I found it has a cd with music and text from the book. Listening made me want to twirl about with joy because God loves me - and He cares. I hope that love communicates to the ones I give the book to.

Trine Day, 2005

An award-winning investigative reporter provides a clear, honest diagnosis of the country's chronic diseases—corporate rule, big media, and the religious right—in this damning analysis. Exposing the darker side of capitalism, this critique raises alarms about the security of democracy in today's society, including the rise of the corporate state, the insidious role of professional lobbyists, the emergence of religion and theocracy as ...

Count Yourself to Sleep (Song of God's Love, A)

Lynn Hodges, Sue Buchanan

Zonderkidz, 2005

One of our favorites!
This book is one of our favorites! It has delightful rhyming text and teaches counting up to 10. It also has a very sweet message of bedtime being the perfect time to count all of Gods gifts to them. Wonderful! Wonderful! My kids love it. The illustrations are loveable and the CD teaches the book as a song that is very cute. I like to sing it to my kids sometimes. We originally bought ...

Sermons for the City: Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, Illinois

Elam Davies, John M. Buchanan

Providence House Publishers, 1996

Sermons for the City and Beyond
There are those who have always believed cities to be impersonal, heartless, brutal places. Then there are those who minister to the countless souls who inhabit the vast metropolis, her throbing pulse of fast-moving traffic, clanging sounds of commerce, dissonant halls of politics and governance. Perhaps nowhere else is the soul more tested then in the bowels of a thriving city, where the ...

The Road to Valley Forge: How Washington Built the Army that Won the Revolution

4 reviews
John Buchanan

Wiley, 2004

A Flowing Narrative
This is the second book I have read by author John Buchanan. I hardly expected this book to equal its companion, ROAD TO GUILFORD COURTHOUSE, but found THE ROAD TO VALLEY FORGE to be an equally compelling read. Buchanan's writing style is both fluid and succinct. When the First Continental Congress met in 1775 to choose its military leader, it wisely chose George Washington, a veteran of the ...

Jackson's Way: Andrew Jackson And the People Of The Western Waters

Castle Books, 2005

Jackson's Way
Jack Buchanan is a great writer! I was enthralled by this book from the moment 15 year-old Andrew Jackson swept onto the page. Buchanan brings to life the saga of the Old Southwest and the American pioneers. The most interesting element of the book is the portrait you get of Andrew Jackson, who was so loved men voted for him fifty years after his death. Anyone interested in the Presidents or the ...
