Echo in the Darkness 48 reviews
Francine Rivers
Topeka Bindery, 2002
Beautiful!
When I started reading this book, I was afraid that a sequel could never be as good as an original. However, my fear was unfounded with this book. I have not enjoyed a piece of fiction this much in many years! This series has rekindled my love for fiction and deepened my walk with God.

Chasing the Dragon: One Woman's Struggle Against the Darkness of Hong Kong's Drug Dens25 reviews
Jackie Pullinger, Andrew Quicke
Regal Books, 2007
A Cherished Addition to My Library
I LOVE this book so much because it is one woman's testimony of what GOD did & is doing with her-through her.
HIS HOLY WORD IS TRUE!
HE IS With Us, and just as HE did with the first Disciples of JESUS,
THE HOLY SPIRIT still works with those who preach the Gospel with signs and wonders following, confirming THE WORD.
I must confess, I don't have the book now - I gave it to my daughter.

Mark of the Lion : A Voice in the Wind, An Echo in the Darkness, As Sure As the Dawn (Vol 1-3)253 reviews
Francine Rivers
Tyndale House Publishers, 1998
Love, Love, Love!!!
I could probably write a book about this series of books! In fact, my book club just finished talking about the second one last night! These are great Christian fiction literature. Rivers ties the characters together so well, and really does NOT make the characters too "fictionalized". You can really see the struggles that they go through, it could be real.
I really love all three of the ...

A must read for social workers
Review of Out of the Darkness: The Story of Mary Ellen Wilson by Eric A. Shelman and Stephen Lazoritz, M.D. Dolphin Moon Publishing, 2003
I chose to review this book because it explains the job of a social worker in the early days of the profession. The book appealed to me as an author and advocate. Set in New York City immediately after the Civil War, this book offers a powerful story in a ...

Companion Through The Darkness: Inner Dialogues on Grief30 reviews
Stephanie Ericsson
Harper Paperbacks, 1993
Equals C.S. Lewis in honesty and depth of emotion
This book saved me. I have read it twice and the heartfelt emotion of grief speaks clearly in every chapter. I gave it to a friend who had recently become widowed at a young age and it helped her with her grief enormously. Since that time, I have had several requests for the book, and I am going to order additional copies to loan out.
Although Ms. Ericson writes about her own husband's death, ...

Woodholme House Publishers, 1999
it rules
Well, the writer is my Grandpa. I am 10 years old so I read it early. My mom helped me out a lot. But thats not exactly a bad thing! Everytime I came to a word I didn't know she would tell me. My mom really could help because my mom was even the one who read it and edited it so she was one of the first, and that really helped because she knew the whole story. I first thought it wasn't such a bad ...

Soul-mates
I have read nearly all of the books in the Night-world series, and I have to say that this one is my favourite, without a doubt! It is Ash of course that just makes this book, he is irrestible, I became hooked on him from the very first, I guess it's the whole 'bad-boy' vampyre thing he's got going on that you become addicted to him! I started reading these books years ago, but they went out of ...

The Darkness Compendium Edition (Compendium)12 reviews
Garth Ennis, Paul Jenkins, ...
Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2006
Worth the money!!!
The Compendium allows you to catch-up on the history of The Darkness with the first 40 issues. Please note, it is missing a few of the cross-over issues like Witchblade #18 & #19, but it tells you which ones so you can get them later if you like. For the price and free shipping, you can't beat it! Warning: this book is fatter and heavier than some dictionaries with its 1280 pages, but so well ...

Brush with Darkness: Learning to Paint After Losing My Sight14 reviews
Lisa Fittipaldi
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2004
Extraordinary and Inspirational!
As Lisa Fittipaldi's "art dealer extraordinaire," I was honored to be included in her touching account of how she overcame going blind and went on to produce such moving realism in her paintings. As I read the book, I found myself unable to put it down, despite the fact that I have known the artist for more than five years and thought I knew her whole story. This book shows Lisa's journey to ...

PublishAmerica, 2005
Splendid
Through The Darkness is an accurate, touching, and powerful depiction of daily life, living with Epilepsy. While it is written with a compassion that makes it accessable to all readers, it is of special significanse to those of us who also live with Epilepsy. (It is important for us to be reminded that we are not alone.)
I found two chapters that describe the physician and medical staff ...

The story continues
Out of the Darkness is a wonderful continuation of the story of Erik and Meg. The author is a great story-teller and keeps the reader's interest throughout. It was hard to put this book down...I had to find out what happens next. The battle within Erik's soul is heart-rending and tortuous. I loved it!

Darkness at Noon: A Novel16 reviews
Arthur Koestler
Scribner, 2006
A classic
I first read Koestler's Darkness at Noon in high school, close to 30 years ago. Although I cannot recall my earlier reaction to the book, I am certain that I was not prepared, as a 17-year old, to appreciate either the literary beeauty or socio-political importance of Koestler's masterpiece. Now that I've read it again I think I can begin to understand the praise that has been heaped on it since ...

A gem--read it!
If you have ever heard someone describe seeing Springsteen at the Stone Pony *before* Greetings from Asbury Park, or saw LeBron play basketball in high school, you can get a sense for how I feel having read D.F. Whipple's Shadow Fields. The book is beautifully written, not just engaging but engrossing. That it comes without the hype of a major publishing house makes it even more delicious.

D.N. Simmons
AuthorHouse, 2005
Can't wait for the next one!
Great book! Better editing than the first book, so that was good. Awesome storyline! Sergio, who is my favorite character kicked butt in this book! D.N.'s writing style is improving with each book it seems and I'm really enjoying this series.
I'd totally recommend reading the KOTDC.

In Darkness Reborn
I fell in love with Barak the first time I read about him. This book just confirmed my feelings. The warriors are all strong as well as their women. I felt Baraks and Laceys pain at not being able to come forward because he was from a different world as well as their undeniable love for each other.

Predators of Darkness
Predators of Darkness had me at the edge of my seat, shivering until the end. I was there fighting for survival in Pittsburgh 2073 after a nuclear attack. I couldn't put it down, not until I finished it. A must read for all sci-fi lovers.
