Originally, in "Xmas", X represented the Greek letter (chi). It was pronounced with an aspirated [kh], which is the first letter of Christ's name in Greek. However, because an upper-case ...

True life of a rural veterinarian
As a farm kid and a veterinary student, I found this book to be extremely realistic and funny. I enjoyed his stories recalling veterinary school and farm calls. Dr. Lucas tells it how it is. It is a good eye opener for people interested in large animal veterinary medicine and the life one has because of it. If you come from a farm you will certainly enjoy this book.

The strength, spirit, and heart of the Polish people--MY people--is wonderfully portrayed within the pages of this book. I'm so looking forward to receiving Mr. Martin's sequel, ...

Let Every Child Be Wanted: How Social Marketing Is Revolutionizing Contraceptive Use Around the World3 reviews
Philip D. Harvey
Auburn House, 1999
Excellent Read - Late Night Page Turner
If you are interested in social marketing, HIV prevention, or family planning (as I am), this book is a late night page turner. It contains plenty of description and discussion on the practical and concrete side of actually running a program - a must for anyone in the field - as well as a colorful history on social marketing.

A Question of Choice3 reviews
Sarah Weddington, Mary-Louise Parker
Random House Audio, 1992
Dynamic recap of the past century
I had the honor of taking a leadership class with Sarah Weddington where this book was used as a main text. The story of this accomplished woman bears testament to the changes fought for and won by women in the second wave of feminsim, both in the state of Texas and in the Nation. Prior to reading this book, I knew that Roe vs. Wade originated in Texas, but I never actually understood how much ...

The Belated Baby: A Guide to Parenting After Infertility5 reviews
Kelly James-Enger, Jill S. Browning
Cumberland House Publishing, 2008
A sigh of relief
I had tears in my eyes while reading most of this book. What a comfort to read about the struggles, frustrations, and (belated) elation of other women.
Infertility is a long, lonely struggle and one that emotionally numbed me to core. I feel blessed to have my children, but have lost myself in the process. The authors assuaged my guilt and gave me the stepping stones to find my way back.

Great Occasions: Readings for the Celebration of Birth, Coming-Of-Age, Marriage, and Death2 reviews
Skinner House Books, 2003
Thought provoking!
I was given this book by my minister when my mother died. I found the quotations it offered very thought provoking especially since it is not dominated by Christian themes. Her funeral service was of her Christian faith of which I am not a part. This book helped me come to terms with her death in my own way with wisdom from Emerson, Shakespeare, Whitman, and the Chuang Tzu just to name a few. I ...

Interesting and Enlightening
I loved Dr. Seaman's book. The title promises strong revelation on the subject of our unfolding purpose and destiny with the Lord and the book really delivers! Dr. Seaman said things in ways that I had not heard them before, and caused me to reconsider concepts that I thought I understood. I found the book to be a great read and very eye-opening. Don't be put off by the ever-abundant references ...

The House of Atreus: Abortion as a Human Rights Issue2 reviews
James F. Bohan
Praeger Publishers, 1999
Excellent! A most timely work.
I highly recommend Bohan's book to anyone who wants to cut past the stale slogans and rhetoric and get to the truths which lie at the root of arguments in favor of abortion. Bohan masterfully exposes the hypocracy of such pro-abortion euphemisms as "product of conception," "termination procedure," and "reproductive health services." He then takes American society to task for abandoning the ...
