Bringing Joy after Surgery
I was recently in the hospital for open-heart surgery. My dear friend gave me the book of friendship. It meant so much to me for two reasons. One is that it is full of such wonderful quotes and shoret stories, and gave me some great memories and cemented my friendhip with the girl who gave it to me, and secondly, due to the brevity of the quotes and stories it was easy for me to pick up and read ...

The Life of a Free Man
Frederick Douglass (1818?-1895) was the greatest African American leader of the Nineteenth Century. He was born a slave on the Eastern Shore in Maryland and grew up on plantations on the Eastern Shore with several years in Baltimore. He was a physically powerful, highly intelligent, and spirited youth and developed quickly a hatred of the slave system. As a slave, he taught himself to read and ...

One Man's Journey; Inspiration for a Nation
Standing in line at the Lincoln Memorial, a book beckoned to me that I previously hadn't seen before. The face of Frederick Douglas grabbed my attention; a man that I've respected for many years, encountering him mainly through my study of Abraham Lincoln. On the spur of the moment, I snatched up a copy of "My Bondage and My Freedom", and within a few days, my admiration in Frederick Douglass was ...

Worth Every Penny
I needed this book for an 11th grade summer assignment so I decided to purchase this version of the book. I loved how the price was good, and I loved the extra bits of information at the beginning of the book (like the timeline). I suggest anyone intrested in reading this book purchase this version...it definately was worth it!

Crandall Dostie & Douglass Books, 2007

The Personal Face of Racism
For anyone who wants to understand cultural differences, who wants to understand the roots of poverty, ignorance and bigotry, Elizabeth Gordon has given us a window into that world. She shares her acquired wisdom (and continuing feeling of insufficiency) with palpable honesty and elegant metaphor. She sees second graders "whirled away like leaves in a gust to decorate the playground with their ...

Skype Me! : From Single User to Small Enterprise and Beyond

Michael Gough

SYNGRESS, 2005

Perfect Skype book
Skype Me! is the perfect introduction to Skype for users of all skill levels. It could serve as an example of how to write a product-centric book that delivers real value. The text is well written, clear, and focused. The material becomes progressively complex as the reader moves from learning about Skype, to installing it, to using it, to extending it into areas I hadn't previously ...

Remember what Santayana Said
This reviewer raptly read Mark Lane's Rush To Judgement, Jim Garrison's On the Trail of the Assassins: My Investigation and Prosecution of the Murder of President Kennedy, and Jim Mars' Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy when they were first published. This reviewer became jaded at the fictions published by the Warren Commission and the House Select Commission on Assassinations, and like ...

The year the Yankees lost the pennant (Cardinal edition)

Pocket Books, 1958

Best 50 year-old Faustian retell
I first read this as a kid, and loved it then. It's a happy thought that, 50 years ago, the greatest desire a man could aspire to was to have his underdog baseball team beat the undeafeated Yankees, and was willing to sell his sould to the Devil for it. Today he'd probably want at least one oil-producing country. Well written, entertaining and with some great twists, it still remains one of my ...

This book is an excellent introduction to the field of ecologocial theology. And timely, in view of our seemingly unstoppable drive to destroy this planet we have been so blessed to share with all creation. A book to be read and prayed

Frederick Douglass and the Fourth of July

Palgrave Macmillan, 2006

A reminder of both America's hopes and failures
Americans, specifically the privileged citizens of the U.S., have a wonderful capacity for naive self-congratulation--a collective fantasy that selectively recalls or imagines a burnished history filled with the noblest ideals of democracy, freedom, and equality in response to injustices received, while glossing over the many injustices given. Frederick Douglass understood this all too well in ...

AuthorHouse, 2007

a must read
A totally cathartic experience for me. I realized my marriage was,unfortunatly, not unique-not the only one to go through these devastating ills. The author lays out clearly the things that chip away and erode a marriage. Truth is no couple imagines their marriage will be temporary. The issues this seemingly "regular guy" talks about are the exact things that led to end of my marriage. I wish ...

Best in Class for Board, Staff, and Those Who Do
Although others will be doing fund-raising for Earth Intelligence Network, to fill in whatever our parent sponsor cannot provide, I found this book to be extraordinarly useful to me, so that I could understand in detail what is expected and required. Bottom line: Fund-raising is a *professional* *year-long* orchestrated, documented *demanding* endeavor. It is neither easy nor an ...

Mr. Douglass Does It Again
Seal Team Seven (15) Ambush has to be in the top three best in this series. From start to finish, I could not put it down. The only thing I didn't like is the death of one of my favorite characters. I will not reveal who that was so I do not ruin the book for those who have not read it yet. At least the new Master Chief is good addition. Navy Seals are a cold, calculated group of men. These ...

Frederick Douglass

Ty Crowell Co, 1958

A powerful book, on many levels.
This book, written in Douglass' later years, not only lifted my spirits but did a great deal to reestablish my faith in humanity. This was a man who had every opportunity, and reason, to be bitter and/or vengeful. He, instead, chose to fight, with his intellect and his golden tongue, for what he, and others chained in slavery and social subservience, rightfully disserved as a member of our ...

A Quest for Man's Dignity
"The Narrative of the Life and Times of Frederick Douglass" provides an astounding look at the true face of slavery and the train of events that led to Frederick Douglass' escape from bondage. More than that, however, his simple rhetoric shows us the dignity of a man. Through the years leading up to his eventual escape, we see how the slaveholders were afraid of the power of literacy--in ...

I enjoyed this book in the series the most.
The scene in the book where the SEALs do a HAHO parachute jump in the middle of the night over Lake Ohrid was so well written, I thought I was there! Characters are realistic and action is non-stop. Would love to see this story hit the big screen! Keith, you've done it again! Best SEAL Series out there. For a hoo-yah good time, you'll find it hard putting this one down.

My heart broke
The honesty with which this is written is amazing. I was glued to it from page one. I felt disgusted by the human race, saddened by his traumas and guilty just for being white. I think this needs to be read more. Especially in schools. Why isn't it???

Keith Douglas writes a another book that has the right amount of suspence, action, and adventure. I read this book constantly until there was no more. I hope Keith Douglass writes another book in the series I just can't wait!
