If you can't go down the Mississippi yourself, tag along with Knudsen! Meet the "river rats," see the sights, and even smell life on the river as Knudsen found it in 1993. I found this book to be entertaining AND educational. I hope Knudsen has other trips planned so I can journey along with him again.

In this fascinating book, Professor Mark A. Noll of Wheaton College in Illinois traces the evolution of the various Christian denominations throughout American history. The bulk of the book is taken up with the history of the United States, examining the past very well, and present trends excellently! Following this, the author has 4 chapters that look at certain particulars: theology in America, the Church in Canada (good) and Mexico (excellent!), the fate of European traditions-Lutherans and Roman Catholics, and day-to-day spirituality and the Bible.

Overall, I thought that this was a simply fantastic book! I found the author's analysis to be both fascinating and convincing. Also, I must say that I have not seen a look at recent trends that could compare. So, as you might expect from all of this gushing, I loved this book, and highly recommend it to you!

If you are learning disabled, if you know a child who is learning disabled, if you know an adult who is learning disabled, this book will teach you all you need to know to understand the suffering a learning disability creates. At the same time, the book provides tales of inspiration and lots of practical advice. A must read on this subject.

Dear readers; this is by far the best book on the history of the opium poppy from an ethnoarchaeological point of view. It is beautifully written, well illustrated and documented so that scholars can find the information to which he is alluding. It is a great read and should be kept in stock!

This is a highly recommended book for parents of QUADS as the author is a mom to quadruplets herself. The book is written in a fun, rhyming style which holds the interest of even my active 15 month old quadruplets! This book makes a great gift for parents of quadruplets and serves as an excellent keepsake for those special quadruplets. A definite item to be on an expectant quad mom's baby shower registry!

For anyone who has been in San Francisco this is a terrific book, I want another copy so that I can display both at the same time, I bought the book back in 1990 at an art museum (who only had one copy). Only now do I have the 11 feet of wall space needed to display both, of course it's out of print, but I want another copy!

The collaborative effort of David B. Peabody (Nebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln, Nebraska), Lamar Cope (Carroll College, Waukesha, Wisconsin), and Allan J. McNicol (Austin Graduate School of Theology, Austin, Texas), One Gospel From Two: Mark's Use Of Matthew And Luke offers a dissenting voice from the mainstream claim that Mark was the first Gospel historically written, and that Matthew and Luke borrowed materials for their accounts from Mark, among other sources. Instead, One Gospel From Two claims that the Gospel of Mark was dependent upon those of Matthew and Luke. Iconoclastic and highly recommended reading for students of New Testament Studies, the extensive analysis of literary details, careful annotation, an erudite text, and persuasive details derived from meticulous research, distinguish One Gospel From Two as a carefully conceived and a particularly well-argued New Testament study.

One Is The Loneliest Number On the Road and Behind The Scenes With The Legendary Rock Band THREE DOG NIGHT by Jimmy Greenspoon with Mark Bego

"Jimmy Greenspoon, keyboardist of Three Dog Night, was a 20-year drug and alcohol addict who barely survived to tell his story...tales of all-night drug and sex orgies, musical jams, stadium-filled tours, and legendary recording sessions are recommended for those interested in this popular band from the late 1960's and early 70's." --Gary M. Krebs / "The Rock and Roll Reader's Guide"

"Jimmy Greenspoon, the keyboard player for Three Dog Night, one of the top rock groups of the 1970's, has written his and the group's story...the group's fame left Greenspoon broke and a heroin junkie.

"Prime dirt!...(A) hardcover wade through the fertile waters of sex 'n' drugs 'n' rock 'n' roll!" --"Radio & Records"

"As wild and woolly as any rock biography as you're liable to come across!" --"Reading For Pleasure"

JIMMY GREENSPOON has been a member of Three Dog Night since the very beginning. He continues to tour with the band, and makes his home in Northern Arizona.

MARK BEGO is the author of over 30 books on rock & roll and show business, including the 1998 "New York Times Best-Seller, Leonardo Di Caprio: Romantic Hero. He has his own blend of coffee, manufactured by Melitta. END

As a devotional, the book is inspiring. How can it not be? The old hymns my parents knew, and taught me to appreciate, hold an appeal unmatched by many of today's choruses. Reading the words of each hymn brings back warm memories of sing-a-longs in my parents church. To read the stories behind the hymns is a profoundly inspiring experience. For the one who is searching for a deeper relationship with God, the book is a wonderful devotional. For the music enthusiast, the book is a treasure of history.

A heartwarming childrens book about all a child wants to be, but most of all just be a kid and enjoy life!! My daughter can't get enough of this book; she has me read it to her every night! It is especially fun for her to find the puppy on every page, her favorite page is the one with the astronaut. I gave this book to my nephew for his birthday and now he has learned to read, he never puts it down.It is a classic and I believe every home should have one!
