Kathy Weaver
Agreka Books, 2006
Great Large Print
As a reader of large-print books, I adore Kathy Weaver's puzzles. I never have to dig out my magnifying glass. And the pages of this book do not fall out the way her other book did.

Polygamy's Rape of Rachael Strong 6 reviews
John R. Llewellyn
Agreka Books, 2006
Polygamy Revealed
I saw Mr. Llewellyn on the HBO special for the series Big Love. I am a huge fan of the show and have become fascinated by the way polygamists live their lives. The Rape of Rachael Strong is a good, quick read filled with instances and examples that help you understand how dire the situation (especially on compounds) are for women and children and how this sexist society breaks and creates the ...

Polygamy Under Attack: From Tom Green to Brian David Mitchell1 review
John R. Llewellyn
Agreka Books, 2004
Polygomy under attack
Mr. Llewellyn does a great job of identifying the power players in the underground world of Polygomy. He gives an even handed presentation of the problems that abusive polygomy presents for government, wives, and children. It also presents the more idealistic polygomy that some people find fulfilling. In todays politically correct world I see no way that polygomy can be condoned so it will ...

Orson Hyde: Olive Branch of Israel 2 reviews
Myrtle Stevens Hyde
Agreka Books, 2000
History comes alive in true fashion
Have you read multi-volume histories of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, written around the lives of fictional characters? This book does the same for me, but from the eyes of real people who lived in the early days of the Church. Granted I'm a descendant of Orson, but even though I enjoyed learning of my forebearer, the early history of the Church came alive for me in a real ...

A Teenager's Tears : When Parents Convert to Polygamy3 reviews
John R. Llewellyn
Agreka Books, 2001
Loved it!
It was hard to put this novel down. It's sad to think that this same thing is really happening to real girls in real families. I wish I had the money to help all of them get out of cults like the one in the book so they could have a chance at a happy life. After reading many books on the RLDS, I still can't see why law enforcement and gov't can't put an end to all their illegal activities. Who ...

Colorado City Polygamists: An Inside Look for the Outsider4 reviews
Benjamin G. Bistline
Agreka Books, 2004
A unique history of a idiosyncratic group
Ben Bistline's history of the First Ward of Colorado City is unique excursion into a secretive group dedicated to a non-mainstream set of beliefs and practice. The Colorado City Polygamists is the shorter version of this history and is more suited to the general (and in particular) non-LDS reader. While a background in restorationist religious history is useful it is not essential to enjoying ...

The Polygamists: A History of Colorado City, Arizona2 reviews
Benjamin G. Bistline
Agreka Books, 2004
This book is so accurate!
I found this book very enlightening. I learned a lot about a group of people I knew little about. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know the truth about the society in Colorado City/Hildale. The author is not interested in sensationalism, but in reporting the truth. I moved to an area just south of these twin towns - found the people interesting and the book helps me to understand ...

Triumph of the Third Reich 17 reviews
A. Edward Cooper
Agreka Books, 1999
A Fun Look at an Alternate WWII!
Edward Cooper's novel, 'Triumph of the Third Reich,' plays out more like an extended timeline with dramatized scenes than a fully cohesive AH story. The basic premise is simple enough: What if Germany developed atomic weapons mid-way through the war and exploded one during the D-Day invasion? After the Allied distaster at Normandy, confusion reigns in Washington, London, and Moscow. The leaders ...

The Last Days Unsealed5 reviews
Ph.D Robert Smith
Agreka Books, 1999
the real thing
This book is right on. Reading Giliadi brings you right back to what Bob Smith says. Only Smith has the courage to tell it like it really is. The Mormon Church is full of corporate corruption, injustice and idolatry. Don't read this book unless you are a courageous person who is willing to look at himself and his leaders. This book first brings you to a state of shock, then denial, then a ...

All of the feedback we've received has been very positive. The book has provided a forum for their families to discuss safety and the relevant rules. We highly recommend this book to any parent interested in engaging their children in a ...

Adult Sweaters : Knitting Seamless Raglan Top Down (Richdesigns)4 reviews
Mary Rich Goodwin
Agreka Books, 2000
Terrific Book - IF you know the basics!
Great patterns and lovely designs make this book a must-have for knitters who want to do something more intricate than basic, fast knit sweaters. Ms. Goodwin's down-to-earth, don't be afraid attitude is refreshing but I feel you must read and understand her notes before you start knitting. She talks in a knitter to knitter style and I believe she expects her readers to know the basics. The ...

Blind Trust: The True Story of Enid Greene & Joe Waldholtz5 reviews
Lee Benson
Agreka Books, 1997
Sad Commentary On Our Times
This is more than just the story of Enid Greene and JoeWaldholtz, this is the story of the Republican Party in the microcosmof their lives. The corruption behind Enid Greene Waldholtz's Congressional campaign isn't exceptional, it's the rule of Republican Party politics. She just got caught, and like all politicians, tried to blame a scapegoat (i.e., the suddenly "psychopathic" Joe). I was ...

It's been going on 12 years since I escaped my abuser. I'm back to school now, working on a social work degree. I want to help others in ways I wanted to be helped back then. While researching material for a research paper on domestic violence I happened across this book. It came to me, along with several others, from the library, borrowed for research.

The Blood Axe : Story of Viking Kings Knut & Olav2 reviews
Eileene Harrison Beer
Agreka Books, 2001
Superb!
This is a fantastic book! Beer took great pains to be fair to both King Knut and King Olav. You wanted to root for both of them. I loved the story of Olav and his handmaiden. My only problem with this book is that I wished it was longer! I didn't want it to end!

Easy, fun and seamless patterns
This book helped me to create cool and fun patterns on my sweaters. I have been knitting since I was nine. This book shows you how to create any kind of pattern you can think up. It shows you how to do different kinds of patterns while you are using different colors. See I have her first book and it was great and worth the cost. So was this book. I love the way you don't have to sew the peices ...
