John Nosler, Gary Lewis

Gary Lewis Outdoors, 2008

A true story of the American Dream

The fascinating story of John Nosler's life from scrambling through the ...

Invaluable Primer on Civil Rights and Nonviolence

Orbis Books, 2004

Loved it!!
I love that this series, including "Bread and Wine:Readings for Lent and Easter," because it challeneges our complacent culture-dictated experience of Advent and Easter. This is not a feel-good book, it is a faith-building book. Be prepared to be shaken up and for God to meet you in a new way. I bought copies for my friends and family. Everyone loved it! The diversity of authors come ...

Durban House Publishing, 2001

Thrill a Minute!
In addition to a taut thriller, this masterpiece of plot, timing and description spreads into the world of international tennis, where it scores ace after ace. Lewis is a master writer. Having enjoyed OPAL EYE DEVIL and SAMSARA, I approached this change of pace with trepidation. Not to worry, however, Lewis handles conflicting Middle Eastern tensions with the same intelligence and understanding ...

Rain Of Iron And Ice: The Very Real Threat Of Comet And Asteroid Bombardment (Helix Books)

9 reviews
John S. Lewis

Basic Books, 1997

Don't worry about my review -- just read the book
This fine book is designed primarily with one goal in mind. Aimed at a popular audience, it is written to counteract the unfortunately widespread myth that no one has ever been killed, or will ever be killed, by a falling asteroid or meteor. John Lewis reworks this statement, reminding us that the way it should be phrased is as follows: "no one as ever been killed or hurt by a meteor or ...

Jesse J. Lewis, John Hayman

Black Belt Press, 1999

Educational, inspirational, while telling it like it is!
Empowerment of a Race doesn't just tell what is wrong, but what can be done to correct the error. It states: "For all people, education is the key to survival and to prosperity. The extended family needs to understand that as a race of people who are attempting to achieve political, economic, and social empowerment for the yet unborn black Americans, they cannot afford to accept handouts or ...

Brick & The Rose a multimedia drama for community health

John Doble's Journal and Letters from the Mines: Volcano, Mokelumne Hill, Jackson and San Francisco 1851-1865

John Doble, Charles Lewis Camp

Volcano Press, 1999

John Doble's Diary
One of the best journals of the early gold rush that includes a series of letters written by Doble before and during the Civil War. Poor spelling, no punctuation as Doble recorded his day-to-day experiences as a miner. His descriptions of life and times, of bonanza and borrasca, of the wagon trains arriving, and especially his description of his cabin, are classic. I have lived in Volcano, and ...

Africa

John Reader, Michael Lewis

National Géographique, 2001

Outstanding introduction to Africa
This is an excellent book for anyone who might find Reader's earlier book "A Biography of the Continent" too much of a good thing. "Africa" explores many of the same themes and issues, but the information is arranged differently and there are more illustrations; this book is aimed at the educated lay-reader. Still it is an important and outstanding book. Reader is a good writer and his ...

Lewis Carroll

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

"Curiouser and curiouser!"
My first exposure to Lewis Carroll's classic children's story was through the 1951 Disney film adaptation "Alice in Wonderland," which I watched repeatedly as a child. The creative quality of the story never failed to fascinate me, and I kept going back despite my deep-rooted terror of the frightful Queen of Hearts, who always gave me nightmares! However, it was not until recently, as an adult, ...
