Lessons Learned on Bull Run Road 2 reviews

A Dangerously Funny Book!
+ Re: Lessons Learned on Bull Run Road
Lessons Learned on Bull Run Road by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson is dangerous. I don't recommend reading it in a library or at home while your family is asleep. It is so funny that it is impossible not to laugh out very loud. I know it is not good to say that anything is that funny, because you ...

Southern Comfort1 review
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson
Booklocker.com, 2004
"Opening the scriptures regularly will throw a log on your fire and keep your heart warm."
The more I read and hear the words of Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, the more I am impressed with her strength. She has the rare skill of communicating wise words laced with side-splitting hilarity. Shellie epitomizes the Proverbs 31 Woman as in Proverbs 31:10: "Who can find a virtuous woman? For ...

Gentle linen weaver Silas Marner is wrongly accused of a heinous theft, and he exiles himself from the world-until he finds redemption and spiritual rebirth through his unselfish love for an abandoned child who mysteriously appears one day at his isolated cottage. Somber, yet hopeful, Eliot's realistic depiction of an irretrievable past, tempered with the magical elements of myth and fairy tale, ...

Emma (Penguin Classics)205 reviews
Jane Austen
Penguin Classics, 2003
Comedy of Errors on a Georgian Stage
+ Emma
+ Bargain on a classic
A smug but goodhearted society girl learns her judgment isn't as incisive as she thinks it is. "Emma" is a fun, lighthearted version of Jane Austen, with enough misunderstandings and crossed signals to form the basis of a modern sitcom. For all its pleasant enjoyability, however, the novel is also ...

Beth Boswell Jacks
Cork Hill Press, 2004
Great fun, with a lot of Southern warmth
I've been reading bits and pieces of Beth Boswell Jack's writing for a number of years, mostly on a web site called USADeepSouth, and it's great to see them all gathered together in this book called Snippets. Our local Arkansas paper doesn't carry her column, but I wish it did. Her writing is ...
