Do Not Miss Reading this One
Second only to the Bible, Same Kind of Different As Me is the most outstanding book I have ever read. Thanks to Ron Hall and Denver Moore for sharing their beautiful story about the activity of God in all of our lives. Gentlemen, you are to be commended for putting on the printed page the mighty works of the great I AM. Proverbs 2:1-5 speaks to our search for understanding and that when we ...

Plunder by the State democratically legalized
In 1850 a French guy wrote this little essay on the Law. It could have been written today in the US, in Europe, because we are certainly not progressing in terms of common-sense, politically. Here are some ideas: -Justice is the absence of injustice. Nothing more than that. -What God does is well done. Do not claim to know more than Him. The fact that this rule is almost universally broken ...

Great children's book in French
This is such a cute book that I was delighted to find it available in French. I have read some reviews saying that French editions of popular children's books are not always the same-- either the colors are off or the text suffers in translation. Not so with this French edition. It is a nice, big size, the colored pictures are the same great pictures as in the English edition, and the story ...

I'm not a writer - but an avid reader. I recommended this book to the members of my book club and found many had already read it!

First and Second Readings
Writing a review on the first Harry Potter book seems superfluous, as it must surely be one of the most reviewed books in the history of literature. I will therefore refrain (more or less) from summarizing the story, and instead compare my first reading to my recent re-reading of the book. In my first reading, I met a boy called Harry, who was the quintessential "uncool kid." He grew up at ...

An Informative, Devastating, Essential Book
It's encouraging that this is the #1 book on the topic of 9/11 in Amazon. It deserves to be. Not content with depicting the terrible events of 9/11, Wright brilliantly and logically draws out the origins of the nihilist religious movement that formed the ideological motor of 9/11. The roots of 9/11 are twofold: in the writings of Egyptian expatriate Sayyid Qutb, who ironically wrote his most ...

the title comes from a comment on The Iliad. a well written book. lots of details on the battle. also gives a broad view of the entire socio-political background. not for the faint of heart.

A wondrous and highly satisfying novel
I read Musashi 15 years ago, and I remember it vividly. It's such a sweeping, wondrous novel, I'm surprised it's not more famous than it is. I became a bit of a Yoshikawa fan from this, and visited his home, preserved as a museum, outside Tokyo. A beautiful serene place. Musashi, in retrospect, was highly inspirational to me as a writer, in terms of pacing, character development, and raw ...

This is very good! Excellent! I first heard it from my brother and I couldn't help but look for it for myself and my family. I will be using it for my bible study classes and my sunday school classes I teach. Once you start listening to it you can't help but keep going and going!

Great Read!!!
This book is a great read for anyone interested in politics. It gave me a good idea of the inner workings of congress and the issues being discussed. Also gave me reassurance of Dr. Pauls' stance on the issues. Most candidates will tell you what you want to hear for your vote on the campaign trail and then do just the opposite when in the White House. This book just reassures the stance that Dr. ...

One Great Way For Daily Bible Reading
I first started reading The Daily Bible over 15 yeards ago and I continue to do so today. I can think of no better version to use as a daily bible. Being arranged chronologically, gives a better understanding of the history of God's dealing with mankind. In addition, reading the various writings in their historical context is a great aid to understanding why these inspired men wrote what they ...

Success Exemplified!
Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur: What It Takes to Win in High-Stakes Commercial Real Estate At the urging of a friend, I attended one of Mr. Randel's seminars a year ago in the Washington D.C. area. I had just moved out of a career in the corporate arena (in banking, where I saw these types of transactions from the other side) and was looking to pursue other options for myself. I had ...

Dealing with Our Addiction
When it became clear that the medicines called opiates were highly addictive and caused health problems, they were dealt with as nicotine and alcohol are dealt with today. There were honest and realistic public service messages warning of the dangers of opiates, and there was medical help that greatly limited the damage they did to the individual and which had a chance of eliminating his or her ...

The best book on the subject yet written.
Unlike most "Ripperologists," Philip Sugden does not have any pet theories to prove. Therefore, like a good historian, Sugden concentrates only on all the facts of the case as they can be cooberated by the primary sources. Very well written and thoroughly researched, The Complete History of Jack the Ripper not only covers each of the known murders in detail, the book also looks at several other ...

A book full of wisdom
I try to avoid "feel-good" New Age books, mainly because I know that life is not always about feeling good, and I don't want to believe in, or practise, lies and deception, especially towards my own self. Who can want to deceive their own selves? If you're a truth seeker, or have felt that at many points in your life you have had truths revealed to you that others don't seem to either know or ...

The Enduring Master of the Macabre
Edgar Allan Poe, born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19, 1809, died October 7, 1849. What is it that makes an author famous? I don't mean famous in the sense a news article reports that "Jack Greylea's novels sold 15 million copies last year," but in the sense that he is thought of as being profound, and seminal. That he is quoted, and scholars analyse his works, and he is looked upon as ...

Required Reading by All Republican Activists
"Back to Basics for the Republican Party" is the most important book written about the Republican Party in a couple of decades and the most helpful book for "working and involved" Republicans in 40 years. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This should be required reading for every Republican Activist, Member, Leader, and Candidate. Republicans have lost too many verbal, public relation battles to ...
