Scott Hahn
Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 1998
Highly recommend!
Ordered this book to conduct a Bible Study class along with the VCR tape and online classes. I will be reading ALL his books and recommending that our study group conduct classes on each of them.
This book is for anyone serious about really understanding the Old Testament and God's plan for us.

War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars36 reviews
Simon & Schuster Audio, 2001
An incredibly profound book!
This book is a great read. It is refeshing to be able to read words, thoughts and dreams from people as they perform such honorable duty overseas. This book is powerful and should be required reading for all, especially Americans.
Some anti-war activist may think it is "pro-war" but it isn't just that. This book reveals personal thoughts and challenges faced by American military personnel in ...

Faithful Living, Faithful Dying: Anglican Reflections on End of Life Care4 reviews
Jan C. Heller (editor) Cynthia B. Cohen (editor), Bruce Jennings (editor), ...
Morehouse Publishing, 2000
An Episcopal Church task group writes a book worth reading.
When confronted by potentially controversial ethical issues, such as those surrounding death and dying, churches rarely distinguish themselves. There are a number of pitfalls. Knowing that they cannot please anyone, they may simply remain silent, abdicating their responsibility to provide moral guidance. Worse, they may make pious-sounding, but vague, pronouncemnts that address issues ...

Oracle Pl/SQL Programming (Oracle Series)15 reviews
Scott Urman, Tim Smith
Oracle Pr, 1996
Excellent for beginners
I bought this book as a complete Oracle novice, transitioning from Microsoft T-SQL to PL/SQL. I was worried about the transition being difficult until I read this book. It is one of those very rare books that presents advanced concepts in a context understandable by users of all experience levels. The author often throws in tips about Oracle PL/SQL quirks to watch out for, as well as some very ...

The Probability Broach: The Graphic Novel10 reviews
L. Neil Smith
BigHead Press, 2004
A Good Transfer
Too often, when a good novel makes the transfer from one media to another, the result is less than stellar. How often have you seen a good book make it to the silver screen, only to have the heart and soul of it lost in the translation? I saw that this comic was available for quite a time, but hesitated purchasing it because of what I "knew" was usually done in these situations. However, I ...

America Unraveling: A Politically Incorrect Analysis of Public Faith and Culture 5 reviews
L. Scott Smith
Father's Press, 2008
Swimming Against the Current
L. Scott Smith has written "America Unraveling" to alert American's about the impending dangers resulting from the loss of the nation's public faith, a faith evident in America's history, culture, and foundational documents.
Smith begins by looking at the historical and philosophical connection between our public faith and national solidarity. He explodes the myth of a "Godless" constitution, ...

Creating and Consuming Web Services in Visual Basic3 reviews
Scott Seely, Deon Schaffer, ...
Pearson Education, 2002
Great coverage for VB.NET devs
I just got this book and more or less tore through it. The book does a great job explaining the ins and outs of creating Web services with VB.NET. I especially appreciated the great coverage of using attributes to shape the WSDL and data used in the Web service. The book really helped me out a lot. Highly recommended.

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006
A must read for 2007
If you are looking for fresh information about the role of faith and religion in the lives of some of America's greatest presidents then I highly recommend purchasing Faith and the Presidency.
The author, Gary Smith has done his homework. His research is very thorough and his style of writing is clear and free of technical jargon.
I thought the book presented a balanced view of democrat and ...

Reclaiming the Center: Confronting Evangelical Accommodation in Postmodern Times3 reviews
Crossway Books, 2004
Review of Reclaiming the Center
Experience over doctrine. Inclusivistic instead of exclusivistic. Discomfort with propositional truth. Synergistic. It may sound like ordinary heterodoxy, but it is a movement posed to take over normative church life--indeed, in some circles, it has already done so.
Reclaiming the Center seeks to reclaim what is being lost through the influence of "postconservative evangelicals" like ...

OK, so we know the author......
It wouldn't have mattered if we hadn't! This book is a must for Central Pennsylvania residents, of course. However, I feel that the book would be enjoyed by any reader with an interest in Black America. A good read!

Along Wyoming's Continental Divide Trail (The Continental Divide Trail Series)1 review
Westcliffe Publishers, 2000
Spectacular Record of Watershed Trail
Having grown up camping and fishing along the Divide's southern point in Wyo, this book is especially dear to me, providing a spectacular photo record of some of my most favorite spots on the planet. As the trail slashes its way across the Cowboy State at a diagonal, the diversity of land and environment makes for unusual contrast of vegetation, mountains and water. The text compliments the ...

From Blackjacks to Briefcases: A History of Commercialized Strikebreaking and Unionbusting in the United ...2 reviews
Robert Michael Smith
Ohio University Press, 2003
A good read
A thorough study of a little known aspect of the labor story. Smith explains that the labor movement has never taken hold in the United States partly because employers, since the dawn of the age of industrial upheaval and continuing until today have turned to contractors who specialized in breaking strikes and smashing unions. Packed with great quotes, plenty of insight and lots of vilonce he ...

Building New Deal Liberalism: The Political Economy of Public Works, 1933-19562 reviews
Jason Scott Smith
Cambridge University Press, 2005
An Exceptional Study of the Origins of the Modern Liberal American State
I found this book an engaging, important work that makes an important historiographical argument about the role of public works in creating the modern American middle class and making it possible for the United States to emerge as the superpower that it became after World War II. For more than thirty years there has been an assault on the history and policy of liberal ideology in the United ...

The Emergence of The Relationship Economy: The New Order of Things to Come2 reviews

Happy About, 2008
Social networking... fad or function?
Social networking is here to stay. It's not just a fad waiting on "the next big thing." In fact, I think it IS the next big thing and will continue growing and changing into ever-increasing beneficial tools. However, social networks are just that; they are tools -- a hammer waiting upon a carpenter's arrival. We are the carpenters to these tools because we create and essentially become the ...

Scott E Smith
iUniverse, Inc., 2008
A really fun read
Reading this book is like hanging out with one of your old friends from college. The really funny and slightly acerbic one. Only Sam Greene is more talented than that guy, and he has played with some of the greatest names in jazz. The death of a close friend, a jazz legend, hits Sam hard ... and threatens to force him to think about his life and his future.
I couldn't help myself. I got ...
