Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming

Paul Hawken

, 2007
A message of hope for the future
It almost always happens, when I speak in telephone conferences with university classes or with larger groups, that someone will ask if I have hope for the future and, if so, why. My answer has always been an intuitive one, the intuition being that in the last fifteen years or so awareness of the perils we face in the immediate future has expanded explosively-and that this in itself provides ...
NO MATTER HOW LOUD I SHOUT : A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court
24 reviews
Edward Humes
Simon & Schuster
, 1997
Indepth, insightful story by a gifted author
No Matter How Loud I Shout reads like a novel. It is an incredibly well written and compassionate view of the life of some of the country's forgotten "children". I really enjoyed it as well as "Baby ER" also by Mr. Humes.
Private Justice (Newpointe 911 Series #1)

Blackstock's books are a real joy
Having just finished the Cape Refuge series, I moved on to another by starting Private Justice, the 1st book in the Newpointe 911 series. (Subsequent books, in order, are: Shadow of Doubt, Word of Honor, Trial by Fire, and Line of Duty.) I would agree that the premise of this book may be somewhat far-fetched, but suspension of disbelief is part of the enjoyment. Everything doesn't have to be ...

Missy's first miracle.
An uber with a duo every bit as vibrant as those in her beloved X&G sagas. Whoda thunk the world of corporate computing could be so darn entertaining and compelling. With one of the best rescue scenes ever. Dar and Kerry are alive and living in Miami.

I MAXIMIZE my respect for John Walsh
Tears of Rage is such a brilliant book. It is very touching, tragic, and even insightful. Not only did I truly enjoy it, but also I found it hard to put down. Such hard times for this fellow after the sadistic murder of his lovely child Adam. Yet he does not give up and he battles and battles for justice for Adam. It was not easy and the police unit were not very helpful and competent with ...

Phenomenal Book!
I met Dr. Sleeth a few months ago when he came to South Florida. I just finished this book and I cannot fully communicate the appreciation I have for the truths he communicates. Everyone (especially Christians who aren't sure about the whole green/environmental thing) should read this. In the back of the book I have marked the things that I will be implementing into my life and have even made my ...

Fighting For Your Life is the MUST READ BOOK OF THE YEAR!
Fighting For Your Life: The African America Criminal Survival Guide told by John V. Elmore, Esq. and Foreword by a friend of the literary community, Mr. Tony Rose is the most responsible book on the planet.There is something that rang a familiar air of discord as I glimpsed at the chained arms on the cover of Fighting For Your Life: The African America Criminal Survival Guide told by John V. ...

Now it's up to you
I am a natural born scientist. Facts, just give me the facts. Theories are only as good as the ones telling them. Rarely I come across a theorist that can make a believer out of, well, even me. This book is chock full of facts, data, reviews, studies and even a little theory that all can be used, proven and sighted - except theory, which can only be respected until history has passed where ...

Solid Story Lines - Interesting Reading
I grew up in Westfield, New Jersey where John List murdered his family. I remember clearly how these murders created fear in our town. He hid from authorities for nearly 20-years before America's Most Wanted aired a profile that led to his capture. This is just one of the stories in this book that would get 10-stars if ...(this website) gave out that many. John Walsh deserves a lot of credit ...
Swift Justice: Murder & Vengeance In A California Town
19 reviews
Harry Farrell
St. Martin's Griffin
, 1992
Definitely swift, possibly just, certainly very troubling
I must admit, I have a biased viewpoint. As a descendant of not one, not two, but three people who were summarily executed without the benefit of due process (one was most probably guilty --- the other two probably were not), accounts such as the San Jose Lynching tend to rub a raw nerve with me. In a brisk, wonderfully written narrative, the author sets the stage and lets the events unfold to ...

Vintage
, 1977
Separate but Equal is Inherently Unequal
Long a mainstay of every 1L's pre-law school summer reading list, SIMPLE JUSTICE is more than a retelling of the tortured history of the landmark cases now known collectively as Brown v. Board of Ed. It is more than a retelling of the agonizing struggles of both gifted and ordinary people---black and white and every other---to reverse the four centuries of racial disparagement that make up the ...

She loved her high powered job with a world famous fashion magazine, and as if that were not enough, all her dreams had come true with the birth of their beautiful baby daughter, Ellie.

Sub-Merge: Living Deep in a Shallow World: Service, Justice and Contemplation Among the World's Poor
21 reviews
John Hayes
Regal Books
, 2006
A Must Read
This is not just a book for someone considering urban ministry, or ministry to the poor. It is a book for any and every Christian. At a minimum this is a perspective book -- a mirror to hold up to your face and show the ease in which most of us in the west follow Jesus (and rarely have anything to say about how he has "shown up" in miraculous ways) and then just listen to what the Holy Spirit ...

One of the best!
Reviewers before me have said it best. Out of all the true crime books I've read, I estimate 10% rate as "can't put down page turners" and this is one of them. That says it all. I would put this book in a class of my favorite true crime books including: Careless Whispers Zodiac The Ultimate Evil Dreams of Ada Minds of Billy Mulligan

I lived in their house.
Hey, My name is Aaron Nolan, I'm currently serving in the united states air force in south korea. And last night while at work we began to talk about ghost stories and other paranormal events when some memories of my childhood about living in a haunted house as a child surfaced. When I was 6 years old, my sister was 4 and my brother was 12, we moved to a quiet city called Casper, Wyoming ...

A Wake Up Call to America's Juvenile Injustice System
A Perversion of Justice hit the nail on the head. Great work Mollye and Kathryn! The book explains through a child's eye the horrors of today's juvenile injustice system. I hope the book is bought by every American family and read by every parent. The tough on juvenile crime political bandwagon parading in this country has been misinterpreted by parents who really have no concept of what they ...

Wonderful book
I was at the library searching for something to read, and the beautiful dog on the cover caught my eye. I had no idea that this book would help me deal with the loss of my cat Ruffles, who had been my companion and friend for 14 years. This book speaks to all pet lovers. A great read. Jeri Ashburn, VA
