Gay American History: Lesbians and Gay Men in the U.S.A., A Documentary and Pioneering Collection of ... 3 reviews
Jonathan Katz
Crowell, 1976
Stories Recognizable as Our Own
What's striking about the hundreds of stories documented here is how much we're like these people of centuries ago, and how much they're like us today. Often they faced oppression too horrible for us to imagine (imprisoned, put to death, kidnapped, hospitalized, drugged, lobotomized, castrated, and those were just for starters), but they responded much as we might have in their shoes: usually ...

A Brave and Startling Truth3 reviews
Maya Angelou
Random House, 1995
Fascinating and revealing
Maya Angelou's works are compelling as well as they are truthful. This book releases many untold stories of slavery in the old South, and the Africans' strife to overcome racism. I love this book and strongly recommend it.

Harlots, Victims, and Rulers: The Startling Truth About Women in the Early Bible2 reviews
Patricia Erlandsen
Smith & Stirling Publishing, 2008
Necessary!
It's very revealing to read the historical facts behind what we think we know. This book is super thorough and very well researched with thorough notes, but is a really good interesting read as well. I was pretty well shocked when it pointed out the facts about what I had heard in church for years about these women. The author makes the women and their stories come alive. A good read and ...

Outrageous!
I've read the first page to a multitude of people and they simply don't know what to say. It starts off in the South Atlantic Ocean in Admiralty Bay with US Navy's "Operation Deep Freeze" with a "something" that "suddenly came roaring up out of the sea through no less than 37 feet of ice, and went on up into the sky like a vast silvery bullet(!)" I've read the first two chapter 3 times now and ...

Children of the Light: The Startling and Inspiring Truth about Children's Near-Death Experiences a2 reviews
Brad Steiger, Sherry Hansen Steiger
Signet, 1995
Fascinating and thought provoking!
A fascinating look into near-death experiences in children that will make you hopeful about what awaits us in the next life, and will get you thinking more about how you live in this life. As you can guess, the book raises more questions than it is able to answer. But rather than try to force an explanation the author accepts this and leaves room for each of us to draw some of our own ...

Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger5 reviews
Alick Bartholomew
Adventures Unlimited Press, 2005
One of the best books on Schauberger
Alick Bartholomew has done a fantastic job in the writing of this book. While the few other books on Schauberger, most notably the books Living Energies, and the Eco-Technology series from Callum Coats, and of coarse, Olof Alexanderson's Living Water (the original pioneer) disect Schauberger's work...Alick puts it in simple, easy to read and understand words.

Listening to Love: Responding to the Startling Voice of God3 reviews
Jan Meyers
WaterBrook Press, 2004
Coffee wih Jan
Jan must have been reading my journal. Every day, I eagerly awaited time in her book, or as I called it, "Coffee with Jan." She seemingly knew my dilemma before I did. I was stuck trying to hear from God. I was fruitlessly trying to live with more passion. I wanted more of God's goodness, but the old places that I had found it were trickling it out in diminishing amounts. Jan eloquently drew me ...

Den of Lions: A Startling Memoir of Survival and Triumph8 reviews
Terry Anderson
Ballantine Books, 1995
A heart pummeling hostage memoir of the Beirut crisis.
Terry Anderson's Den of Lions is a den of insights into the radical bi-polar terrorist mentality in which he was trapped for over seven years. His descriptions of the bombings, shootings and random daily violence that permeated around the non-citizens and the citizens of Lebanon, make this a classic Middle East hostage survivor's story. Anderson's poems of his cruel incarceration are filled ...

Former director of the Israel office of the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies Zev Golan presents God, Man and Nietzsche, an evenhanded look as to what a believer of God can learn from the atheistic teachings of Nietzsche, while retaining his faith. Chapters discuss how Nietzsche viewed the Jews - ultimately revealing how he both praised and chided them - how to find meaning ...

This is not a read for the faint hearted- expect to be challenged in ways you never imagined.

Journalist Philip Yancey writes an exciting account of his visit to the former USSR with a group called Project Christian Bridge. Formerly an atheistic society, the Soviets had ...

In the Ring of the Rise: A Startling Look at Trout Behavior and Riseforms1 review
Vincent C. Marinaro
The Lyons Press, 2001
More of the best
Marinaro's sequel to 'A Modern Dry Fly Code' only adds to his flawless reputation as America's most important spring creek angling author. While it is not the ground-breaking work of his first book, it will, nevertheless, provoke much thought on the part of the contemplative angler. True, there are points which could be argued (Vince and I never agreed on rod action, for one), but the author ...
