Though it's out of stock, I recommend trying to find a copy. For those of you who are just starting to read science fiction or even die hard fans, this book is a great one. It doesn't have a single bad story.

During Christmas week, a man and a woman who claim to be Jesus and Mary roam the streets of Manhattan in the dead of winter. The police, figuring the pair to be mentally ill vagrants take them to Bellevue. Once there, the pair introduce themselves as 2/3 of the Holy Family and miracles happen. A catatonic patient becomes relevant and lucid; a screaming pyschotic calms down and yet other patients begin showing signs of recovery.

Are they really Jesus and Mary? How to explain the cures on the ward? This is a delightful story that will certainly restore faith in human nature. This book is a real treat.

... Molly and Monet as a unique way to reach individuals who have suffered a loss. Molly and Monet is a unique, futuristic and revolutionary book, about how people survive major loss in their lives as written through the eyes of two dogs. Nothing has been more fulfilling than to write a story of loss and finding life again as seen through the eyes of two dogs, Molly and Monet. The book was originally written for the purpose of sharing the supportive and caring that they provided when loosing a spouse.

Molly and Monet listened, provided compassionate, unconditional love, comfort, and soothing behavior as well as someone to talk to, who just listened, and didn't give unwanted advice. They also provided the hugs and warmth that all people need when they are hurting. After my experi-ences with these special "people," I really feel dogs and cats listen, feel and have the ability to provide warmth and healing. If you look closely, they too can brood, be depressed, smile, and speak to you in their own special language.

It is proven fact that couples in marital disagreement have less prob-lems when they have a pet. Statistics indicate a lowering of blood pressure, when an animal is present. There may be arguments and dis-agreements that take place, but the animals can act as a buffer to make happier relationships. People living alone have less health problems when they have a dog or cat to live with.

There is an unusual and productive use for dogs and cats in our elderly population. Rest homes and hospitals welcome dogs and cats, which have been properly trained to give comfort to the elderly and the ailing. When an elderly person lives alone, it is statistically proven that the touch and warmth of a dog or cat helps take away the intense loneli-ness.

In my path of sharing the book through radio and television across the United States, and on several ships in the world, I see the need for this unique and unusual approach to gaining comfort, from any kind of loss.

Molly and Monet has been useful in other areas to talk about other loss such as divorce, loss of a parent, change in financial situation, change of job, hurricanes, acts of God, moving, modifications in life-style, as well as the Columbine tragedy, and the war in Kosovo.

"You don't have to be Jewish," but it helps as there are a number of ethnic-related jokes. Everyone who has read it has said that this humor came at the right time. We need it!! You will find yourself laughing out loud. And everyone around will want their own copy!That's just the way it is. Makes a great gift, and it's small.

This short collection of 'mutant' stories is a book I did not expect to have a fond memory of, but it happened nonetheless.

Within its pages is a short story ©1938 by Edmond Hamilton, entitled "He That Hath Wings." It remains to this day one of my favorite short stories.

In it, a boy named David Rand is born with wings. He is raised on a private island owned by doctor Harriman, also his legal guardian. The years of growth are eloquently described in a few pages and you learn from David's perspective what it must be like to grow up with wings, and wonder why nobody else does.

As the story evolves, he escapes to the mainland and falls in love with a woman. He makes a huge sacrifice in order to keep his life normal, but the story ends with a twist; you shall have to read.

It's short and wonderful, highly emotional. If you can find a copy of this book and you're like me, you will love it for this one story alone.

For me, writing a condolence note has always been right up there with having a tooth pulled at the dentist. I never know exactly what to say, which is why Isaacs' book, "My Deepest Sympathies," is so valuable. She covers every conceivable situation (including the really tough ones, like the death of a child or suicide) and every relationship, so that you can write something personal, without worrying about sounding dumb or insensitive. When a client's wife died, it was such a relief to pull out the book, turn to the right chapter, and find tips and examples that helped me write my own appropriate words. The chapter on composing eulogies is a bonus.

I enjoyed this collection of stories; there is something for everyone. The writing styles are varied enough to keep you interested. The themes are similiar to other books and stories, but I liked it anyway.

The mastermind of Sir Isaac Newton yields results just as brilliant when studying Bible prophecy as when he turned his attention to the physical universe! There is in this book a consistency of interpretation in all the details of the prophecies of Daniel and of Revelation that I have not seen in any of the works of modern-day scholars. Isaac Newton seems to be completely true to the message of the Bible when providing his own thoughts on the Antichrist, the Beast, the Woman called "Babylon", and the "Great Tribulation". The integrity of Newton's scholarship and skills of exegesis give the reader a distinct impression that, unlike most writers on end-times prophecy today, when faced with a detail of interpretation that conflicted with his existing views, Newton would have gladly given up his prejudices in exchange for something better: the Truth. He presents an excellent example--perhaps the best I have read--of what is known as Premillennial Historicism. This is essentially the same view held by H. Grattan Guinness, E.B. Elliott, Matthew Henry, and Charles Spurgeon. In my opinion every pastor or teacher who preaches or teaches on the subject of the Last Things should have a copy of "Observations..." on his or her desk.

I read this book to my five and nine year old and they both loved it. A well written story that is told from Newton's early childhood and on to his adult years in a way that will help young readers remember the facts of his life.
