Pyramid Family Library, 1975

A telling story of renewed faith...
When I was only 11, I had the pleasure of meeting Captain Rutledge in August of 1976. He was my Dad's Commanding Officer in the Philippines. We all read his book and sat amazed at the God-granted ability to survive. I borrowed the book from my Dad (25 years later) and just finished reading it again. The faith that he and his wife were able to muster is incredible. Makes the rest of us ...

Truly Useful
Following a series of recommended drives throughout the Middle South from west to east, this compact little book provides an excellent listing of sights (including brief descriptions) that a reasonably intelligent reader might enjoy. I read it with highlighter in hand, marking the sights that appealed to me, an approach I recommend to others. Mr. White appears to be an active bird-watcher (he ...

Berkley, 1986

Changes your perspective...
I first recieved the book DAVID as a young child... too young maybe. I read the book from start to finish, and I could tell I had a different outlook on life. The things that David went through, and the things that Marie went through, gave me my own strength for my own life. The book shows excellent detail on everything from Marie's fear when she recieved the telegram, to her pride in her son ...

Mel White

Falcon, 2003

Birding is booming. The hobby (or, in many cases, passion, or even addiction) has been growing steadily for years, according to studies conducted by both governmental and private organizations. An amazing number of people -- more than 70 million, by one 2001 survey of recreation preferences -- say they participate in birdwatching. Undoubtedly, many of these people simply put feeders in their back yards and enjoy watching the hummingbirds, ...

Know Thine Enemy
This book should be required reading not just for every gay,lesbian,bi or transgendered individual, but for anyone who believes in equality, faith, and the basic principles of the Constitution our forefathers wrote. At times while reading this, I had to put the book down because I was literally seething with anger. For anyone that doesn't believe that fundamentalist Christians like James Dobson, ...

Very Informative!
This book gave a very informative look at abortion and teen pregnancy from two different points of view. Rev.

Alternating chapters are written from the personal experiences of a christian young lady (teen) that was raped. She tells about her friends' and family's ...
