Where's the 15 minutes?
... She's obviously one of the best, undiscovered writers in the world!! She first came to my attention through my fiance, who'd torn a poem from a 1997 edition of the "New Yorker" for keeping. After the events of September 11th, she was going through a pile of papers and came across that same poem. To her [and subsequently, myself] the poem resonated deeply with what we were going through. The name of that poem is "In the City of What Once Was" and it appears in this brilliant collection. Her work is alternately beautiful and mournful and it speaks eloquently of her experiences in a war-ravaged land [Ms. Ursa's work has been translated from her native Romanian]. She is at once lyrical, sad and evocative. I urge anyone interested in great poetry to BUY THIS BOOK. I'd also recommend that the major American publishers take a good look at her work!!!

An intellectually stimulating introduction by Professor Adams combined with three essays that show how his approach can illuminate approaches to the study of small communities. This is a must for anyone wishing to understand how housholds, communities and urban-rural societies form the building blocks of national history.

Chilling!
Donald Eckman was dying. Nothing would stop that, but he planned to take quite a few low-lifes with him! Eckman was a man who had it all planned out and was cold-blooded enough to do it.

Roosevelt Holmes had raped, maimed, and/or killed over thirty-four women, girls, and boys. Yet his sentence was only two years. He was released early, for good behavior, thinking he could easily continue if he was just a bit more careful. However, he was not the only one counting down his days and hours until freedom.

Nancy Rausch kept tabs on Holmes. She planned her revenge carefully, all the way down to how she would castrate him. Chris would help her get him. Chris also had planned revenge...on the world! Chris had set up a way to rid the Earth of much of its scum. A bit of IVG-5 introduced into the Minneapolis waterworks would work for starts.

***** Never have I read a book like this one. We have all heard of Hannibal. He was labeled (correctly, I might add) a Cannibal. Now meet those with the label Sociopath. Many with this mental disorder get rich because they do things "normal" people would not dare. Others end up poor, due to the same reason, or in prison. But some are like this!

Here is a book that will keep you up late into the night reading! You will never look at the strangers around you the same way again! Highly recommended reading! *****

The first book in an exciting historiacal-romance series.
This book is the first in a series about a band of spies for the patriots in the Revolution, sort of a Days of our Lives meets George Washington. The writing is brisk and the plot interesting enough to keep you waiting to start the next book. A great read for a summer vacation or a snowy day. I have read the series twice already.

Some wonderful nature writing here
This book will make you want to get out into the places beyond the artifacts of civilization and spend some time in the beauty and quiet. Some of our best poets (Wendell Berry, Gary Snyder) and writers (Robert Bly, Matthew Fox, Terry Tempest Williams) tell us eloquently why they go to the wilderness to be closer to themselves and their God. Inspiring!

Speaking God's Words: A Practical Theology of Expository Preaching
Published in Paperback by Intervarsity Press (January, 1998)
Authors: Peter Adam and R. Kent Hughes
Amazon base price: $16.00
Average review score:

A Solid Foundation for Expositional Preaching
Adam has provided students of preaching with a solid theological foundation for preaching. He begins with the doctrine of revelation, the inspiration of the written word, and the command to preach the word. From these three principles, Adam draws a wealth of practical advice. His model of preaching is taken from the apostolic proclamation in Acts and the exposition of Scripture in the epistles. All of this is supplemented by insights from church history -- namely, the examples of Richard Baxter and John Calvin.

Every minister of God's word will profit from Adam's explorations.

One of the most well-known of alchemical works
This sixteenth century books is often cited. It contains many pictures and the commentary by the accomplished modern alchemist Adam McLean is interesting. This book is a must. It is wonderful that one can have these famous medieval works in ones own bookshelf.

Who said a thriller could not be funny?
This book is great. It narrates the story of an ex-cop, who's now a struggling sculptor, Adam McCleet. Through an elaborate and twisted plot who is named heir of a very wealthy man, but in order to inherit his share he has to solve a murder. All through out the book the story is narrated in a very intelligent way and it has exactly the right amount of suspense, whit, sex and humour, which has been perfectly timed. All in all is the perfect book to read when you're feeling down and want something to cheer you up! It'll make you laugh and make you wanna keep reading so much that you'll finish it in no time.
