An insightful view into the authors soul
This is a record of the soul searching that the father of Janelle Nisly, Paul Nisly did after the unexpected death of his daughter 4 months after her graduation from college. In this, he stuggles with questions of suffering and why christians suffer. It lead me to tears, and it will do the same to you, even if you've never experienced such a traumatic experience.

If you like Milan Kundera...
If you like Milan Kundera check out this author. He speaks of human folly with humor honesty and tenderness. He addresses major human issues with incredible specificity and with a little more sensitivity than Kundera. Enjoy.

Hard to find, but worth the search
This is one I've been searching for, for several years. If you want a good, one volume work on the role played by the army during the pre-Civil War years, buy this book. One major item that is brought out is that troops on the frontier were used as laborers building roads more than actual military service. The conflicts among the officers as well as the politicians are covered as well. The bibliography is a gold mine of first hand sources

a good book for those seeking combat proficiency
Crompton takes an evenly scientific point of view in this book he discusses the workings of Tai chi chuan as applied to combat. However this book is only based upon Mr. Cromptons experiences, though these are quite considerable. An excellent book for the westerner coming to Tai Chi combat for the first time.

An excellent tuishou discussion--but not for beginners
I like Paul's discussion of taiji tuishou (push hands) and some of the suggestions he makes for developing one's tuishou abilities. However, I would not particularly recommend this book for beginners for two related reasons: first of all, the pictures are dark, and its hard to see where the arms and hands go sometimes. An experienced practictioner can make it out, but I doubt most beginners could without feeling really frustrated. Secondly, it lacks what I would call "transitional pictures." A beginner can easily wonder how one gets from one picture to the next. Again, an experienced practictioner can figure it out, but most beginners won't have the knowledge base to get past this structural difficulty. The book would have been much better with at least double the number of pictures for each illustration.

That said, Paul's discussion of tuishou is very good, and reveals him to be both knowledgable in taiji tuishou and a mature individual. He doesn't especially blow his own horn, and also makes a point stressing the fact that tuishou is primarily a learning tool meant to develop one's taiji fighting ability and not a vehicle for competition in and of itself. To get hung up on tuishou is like Earnest Hemingway getting hung up on calligraphy and never writing a single story.

This is clearly one of the better taiji tuishou books out there. Hopefully one day they'll supplement the pictures.

Tai chi Principles
If you are new to tai chi and you are looking for a general book on it, then it is the best buy you can do. It is short, simple, it explains the principles of the art and how to practice it. It does't describe any particular form. Very good quality.

CAPE COD CUISINE
This novel has comedy, mystery, suspense, and some good old fashioned romance. Paul Monette has woven all these elements into a delightful tale that takes place on picturesque Cape Cod. As David is 'Taking Care of Mrs. Carroll', Paul Monette is taking care of us. The characters entice us to enjoy the surroundings of the Carroll estate and we are treated to interesting plot developments. I have to admit that this is my favorite Paul Monette novel.

Tales of Saint Vincent de Paul Penitentiary

Great True Stories of Crime
If you like to read true crime stories or want to dig into the minds of criminals you'll get a kick out of this book.
The book describes the lives and criminal acts of inmates a penitentiary from crime families to sex offenders to master manipulators.
I like the criminals who tried to escape in a sewer and smelled pretty foul afterwards (Lots of other scatalogical crimes are featured as well- if you like such things).
I also thought the compassion shown, not to the criminal acts, but to the lives of those who know no other way of life taught me something. This book is both an entertaining book for fun and also an interesting peak at the REAL lives and minds of criminals.
This book is written by a criminologist/psychologist with a lot of compassion, experience, and street smarts!
If Justin Ciale were a famous man, this book (with a little editing and marketing) would be a best-seller in my opinion.

Amazingly Insightful
Although the century old language is a bit difficult to read initially, once you get rolling, it isn't difficult. The neatest thing is how amazingly applicable James' observations are in today's society. The book is fun and interesting to read. I learned a great deal.

Deadly adventure against the God of Entropy
The most coveted and highly praised module in the Masters series (for levels 20-25!) is also one of the hardest to find - gaming veteran Paul Jaquays provides the most jaded of heroes with a challenge they will never forget! For the first time in centuries, Empires hail one another in peace - Thyatis and Alphatia finally meet in a tenuous, paranoid, historic standoff. The Known Realms send their mightiest heroes as the diplomatic envoys, in a dramatic show of politely veiled force... and everything goes to Hell in a handbasket as the God of Entropy shatters the stillborn alliance, casting the PCs as scapegoats and throwing them to the wolves. Now that we've got through the introduction, 30 more pages of terror will torture your players mercilessly for weeks! Well, they said they wanted a challenge...
