Chasing Fireflies: A Novel of Discovery

22 reviews
Charles Martin

Thomas Nelson, 2008

My new favorite author
Charles Martin is an author in his own class. Chasing Fireflies is a heartwarming book, full of hope. As the story develops into many levels, the characters also develop fully, and you feel as though these are people you know. There is also surprising revelation at the end of the book!

A Secular Age

16 reviews
Charles Taylor

Belknap Press, 2007

In depth reflection
A work for those interested in pondering precedents that seem to now demand a second look, a more psychological reflection. There is however a slight lack of objectivity and a very slight nostagia comes through.

Halting State (Ace Science Fiction)

42 reviews
Charles Stross

Ace, 2008

Remarkable, possibly prophetic
As a fan and sometime inhabitant of Second Life, my first reaction to this book was a solid "Whoa!" The basic premise is that a robbery has taken place in a virtual setting. How did the criminals get in? Of what value is the stolen treasure? Amazingly, millions of dollars are at risk. This book has an interesting structure as it flashes viewpoints from a police sergeant (Sue), an accounting ...

Saturn's Children

Charles Stross

Ace Hardcover, 2008

Late-period Heinlein Juvenile for Adults
Welcome to a future in which all the dreams of the 1950's have been realized: exploring the solar system, extraterrestrial colonies all the way out to the Oort Cloud, fast-transit spaceships, etc. etc. But they've been realized by our successors, the robots, not by living humans, who are extinct. And now our heirs squabble, in fashions just as ugly as we their Creators did. If the title of ...

Axis

Robert Charles Wilson

Tor Science Fiction, 2008

Enjoyable follow-up to _Spin_ if not as epic or quite as good
_Axis_ is a sequel to Robert Charles Wilson's absolutely excellent novel _Spin_, which to me is one of the finest science fiction novels ever written. Picking up with events several years after the end of _Spin_, the novel took place entirely on the shores and deserts of Equatoria and its chief (and pretty much only) city, Port Magellan (Equatoria being a vast largely arid continent on the ...

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2008

Fab-u-lous!!!!
I have been a Charles Faudree fan for years and eagerly awaited the publication of his first book, then second and now third. Every time I go to Tulsa, I make it a point to go to his shop and try to absorb some of the class and style that is such an inherent part of his design philosophy...and I have managed to purchase a bauble or two to add to my own decor. This trip we were fortunate enough ...

Put on a Happy Face: A Broadway Memoir

2 reviews
Charles Strouse

Union Square Press, 2008

A Must For Musical Theatre Fans!
Charles Strouse is one of the last of a generation of great tune smiths. Broadway composers who could, as Richard Rodgers said, "piss good melodies." No matter what the show, Strouse could be counted upon to come up with great singable, hummable and even memorable tunes. He didn't always have hit shows, but when he did they were shows like Bye Bye Birde and Annie. This book tells a lot about the ...

Great Book
This book is a great sequel to The Dead Don't Dance. Charles Martin is a talented author who really gets deep into his characters' lives. His stories are riveting and uplifting.

Search the Dark (Ian Rutledge Mysteries)

14 reviews
Charles Todd

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2000

The Fragile Psyches of Combat Veterans
While the term PTSD is not used in this novel-- and rightfully so because it is set in the years when it was still called shell shock-- however, the manifestations of this condition are obvious and heart wrenching. At the end of WWI when the veterans returned to England it was to find a population struggling desperately for normalcy. But the men who returned home were not the same men who left ...

The Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Daily Bible

10 reviews

Thomas Nelson, 2007

The Power of Attraction!
This is an OUTSTANDING devotional Bible. EVERY day you get a slice of (1) the Old Testament, (2) Psalms/Proverbs, and (3) the New Testament. Additionally, you get all the Life Principles, notes and explanations, highlighted promises, etc. It has added a whole new perspective to my morning quiet time. Instead of reading someone else's commentary on the Word, I am reading THE WORD. This book ...

The Dead Don't Dance (Awakening Series #1)

27 reviews
Charles Martin

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Martin is one of my new favorites
Love and faith are Dylan's bread and water in this novel. You can feel his pain as he watches his wife fight for her life in a deep coma, not to mention the loss of their first child. The lessons he learns and the people he meets on this journey will bring you to tears and then put a smile on your face. Read with a box of tissues and then buy a copy for everyone you know.

Charles Darwin

W. W. Norton, 2005

One of the books that changed my life.
A long time ago, I criticized the theory of Darwin, before I escaped fundamental Christianity -- and before I had ever read his works. After reading this rather lengthy book, a collection of his four major works, it becomes painfully obvious how little there is to criticize. A summary of the major works follows: THE VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE: The first book in the volume is the account of ...

The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It, and Why It Matters

44 reviews
Charles W. Colson, Harold Fickett

Zondervan, 2008

Clarity
Colson takes the psycho-babble of the so called fair minded critics of religion and shreds it. The Faith: Given Once, For All, is a clear statement of Christianity and how it is attacked.

Wrapped in Rain: A Novel of Coming Home

26 reviews
Charles Martin

Thomas Nelson, 2006

Engrossing, spiritual and unforgettable
This was such a unique book. It wasn't close to what I expected. Two boys, who live with their father in Alabama, are pretty much raised by their housekeeper, Ella Rain. Their father is very abusive and it impacts the boys life in drastic ways. Tucker, a photographer, is running from himself and the person he does not want to become. Mutt is in a mental hospital dealing with his demons and ...

Women: A Novel

Charles Bukowski

Ecco, 2007

A woman on 'Women'
There isn't anything I can add to what has already been said, and better than I could say it anyways. But I noticed one review a guy said not to let your wife read it. WRONG. I'm 26, a wife, mom, so on and so forth, and I'm the Bukowski reader in my house. I picked up Post Office and was hooked, and before I'd even finished I got Women, Factotum, and Dirty Old Man. I had only hoped they'd be as ...

Charles Bukowski

Ecco, 2007

We are born like this ... into this ...
I don't know what's more disturbing, reading about the Post Office in this dark and grimy tale of slogging and mundane shift work or actually knowing where a lot of these locations that Hank describes and having to visit them regularly. Thank God for the sorting machines or some of those employees just might be ready to immolate themselves. After getting the skinny on exactly what a postal worker ...

Charles Todd

William Morrow, 2008

A Pale Horse
Charles Todd has maintained the high quality of interest and intensity shown in his earlier Rutledge novels. The book has fulfilled every hope I had for it, and I look forward to the next in the sequence.
