This book will not only help you get the absolute best sound from your banjo, it provides enough technical information on the physical attributes to enable you to understand WHY. Roger can get as detailed as anyone wants, yet is able to make everyone understand the inner and outer workings of this fine instrument! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make their banjo produce all ...

The Impact of God: Soundings from St. John of The Cross (Hodder Christian Paperbacks) 4 reviews
Iain Matthew, Jean Vanier
Hodder Headline, 1995
Extremely profound, practical, and effective
This is one of the best books I've ever read. The author includes verses from John of the Cross, then analyzes and synthesizes, extracting the heart of what John is saying. The book is not at all "heady", it is extremely useful for the spiritual life of anyone in high school-on-up. This is one of the only books I've ever read that clears the way for deep communion with God literally every time I ...

Realities and Relationships: Soundings in Social Construction1 review
Kenneth J. Gergen
Harvard University Press, 1997
Important work for Social Constructivism
Another fine work by one of the world's leading post-modern theorists out of the social constructivist school. Gergen focuses on nature of interpersonal relationships in the modern day era in a book that equally intellectually stimulating and eminently readable. Readings on social constructivism are not for everyone. However, Gergen is worth experiencing in some way. Those who are ...

Sounding Forth the Trumpet 14 reviews
Peter Marshall, David Manuel
Revell, 1998
Another masterpiece!
So far I've read all three books in the series, and I eagerly await the fourth! Marshall and Manuel describe the period leading up to the Civil War in a way that you will not see done in government schools today. Again, this is a must-read for anyone who is either home-schooling their children, or for those who have children in government schools. So much of history is distorted today. It is ...

It's the sophomore year of high school, and best friends Chill and Sean will soon meet their new English teacher, Mr. Sfinkter, a man who loves to brag about his accomplishments as a published writer and who also seems to enjoy humiliating his students.
Sean, who wants to be a writer, doesn't think that the teacher is really that bad, especially after Mr. Sfinkter encouraged him to write a ...

Sounding the Trumpet: The Making of John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address1 review
Richard J. Tofel
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2005
A treat for all communicators
Mr. Tofel provides an enjoyable and sympathetic account of how President-elect Kennedy managed the production of this rhetorical bombshell.
Like most presidential speeches, Kennedy's inaugural was a group effort, drawing upon the words and ideas of many gifted people. Tofel does an excellent job of pulling the speech apart, and showing the influence on particular passages of Kennedy's ...

Beth A. Leonard
Tide-Mark Press, 1999
Beautiful Book...
I have read the gauntlet of "I cruised around the world and here's my story" books -- and this one is different. It is a beautiful book. At first glance, it's the book itself that catches your eye... illustrations and photography throughout give you glimpses into the real life voyage. They are artfully done and a joy to look at. But this is the ONE cruising book I have read that is actually ...

Reviewed by Anthony Pettrone (age 14) for Reader Reviews (7/07)
"Exit Point" is one of those books that grabs your attention from the first sentence. You see, this book isn't a typical character book. It is about a boy named Logan Freemont who because he was showing off, got into a terrible car crash and died, leaving his life unfinished.
If it wasn't bad enough that he died when he was ...

Where did you get the gun? Where did you hide it after you murdered him? How did you even do it?
These are all questions that Detective Antonelli asked David, the main character of TELL, after his stepfather, Phil, was shot and killed.
All signs pointed to David when the police found out that he was only a block away from the crime scene. Not to mention that he was there with Phil just ...
