I found this book in a used book store and never before did I find such a jewel. My "journey" to find the higher places of God began in 1994 when I began to read and study this book. Other than the Bible, I have not found a more anointed book than this one. It has made a profound difference in my worship and understanding of who God is and I have never been disappointed when asking the Lord to confirm my steps during the study of this book. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a powerful and more personal relationship with God.

Review by Jeffrey A. Katt, a noted SF author

Behold Leviathan, an ambitious first novel by Will Clark, is both original and intriguing. Certain chapters are loosely autobiographical, bringing a realism to the tale and making the story even more interesting. The novel begins with SP4 Cleary, an army specialist formerly stationed at the White Sands Missile Range, testifying before Congress. Shortly thereafter Cleary develops a love interest with Nikki, who is much more than she initially appears. After that, well, you would have to read the book yourself to appreciate all the twists and turns that the author supplies. Like the proverbial onion, each chapter reveals another layer of the intricate tale, until the reader descends into world steeped in international intrigue, politics, religion, corruption, humor, love, and the darkly supernatural.

Clark uses his own personal knowledge of politics, engineering, and the military to lend credibility to the story, and he takes the reader on a fast-paced ride into a world most of us have not imagined ' except, perhaps, in stress-induced nightmares. Just when the reader thinks he knows where the story is going it turns in an entirely new direction. Only after finishing the book can the reader look back and clearly sort out which portions were pure fiction, and which are chillingly familiar ' and true. Additionally, the chapters are not strictly in chronological order, a technique I usually find to be quite annoying, but here it serves to make the story evolve in a more logical manner.

Behold Leviathan is one of the most unique and original books I have read in quite some time. From the sharply satirical to the forcefully blunt, the novel holds the reader's interest and forces him to reconsider the world around him. I look forward to future offerings from Mr. Clark.

Sometimes is the truth is stranger than fiction! This is certainly the case with Notorious Woman: The Celebrated Case of Myra Clark Gaines. This book had everything I wanted -- scandalous family secrets, an heir fighting for legitimacy, a struggle through the courts, even a murder -- AND, it's all true! The author re-tells the drama as it unfolded in the courtroom and lets you come to your own conclusion: Was Myra Clark Gaines the true heir to a New Orleans real estate fortune worth millions? You decide.

I thik that this boxed set is the best they can do with all thebook writen by M.H.Clark. The very well know "a stranger iswatching" and the two other take place in a very good environment that clark made by her own.I suggest you to buy this... 3-books-set/very good quality. END

This was the first of 15 books I read by Mary Higgins Clark.
I simply could not put it down. The plot of this book hooks you in the first chapter and keeps the pages turning to the very last page.
I read it in two days (working a full time job and taking care of a family) in my spare time, it is a very fast reading book.
This auther does a wonderful job with keeping the reader intrigued threw the entire book leaving you wanting to read another.

Mary Higgins Clark, A Cradle Will Fall

Are you looking for an excellent page-turning novel? Do you love books by Mary Higgins Clark? Try A Cradle Will Fall for your next reading selection. You will be pleasantly surprised by all the mystery. This is a wonderful story of a miracle doctor. Or is he a miracle doctor? Some people are starting to wonder after a supposed suicide.
Is Katie DeMaio having weird dreams, or did she actually see that while she was at the hospital window? There are so many thoughts running through Katie's head that she thinks she might be missing something...but what could it be? All this is too strange for her. Will they figure out this case, or is there a case at all? Read this outstanding, mysterious, even scary book to see if Dr. Highley is a Miracle worker at all.

Mary Higgins Clark's "The Cradle Will Fall" is the third book that I have read of hers(The other two were "On the Street Where You Live" and "The Anastasia Syndrome and Other Short Stories"). This one is my favorite and different from the others. It is very suspenseful. The killer, in my opinion, is one of the most psychotic villians I have ever read in a book! This book is really great. I totally recommend it if you wand a very suspenseful book to read. Read it and you just might become a fan of Mary Higgins Clark like I have.

Being an ardent Agatha Christie fan, Mary Higgins Clark was recommended to me and this was the first volume of her books that I read.

There aren't any detectives like Hercules Poirot or Miss Marple still the stories keep you glued to the book till you reach the end.

'Weep no more, my lady' has a certain Christie's touch. The story is about a young woman Elizabeth. Her sister, Leila is murdered and Ted, her sister's fiance is convicted, with Elizebeth being the only witness. There are other charachters like Leila's friend the Baron and Baroness, her agent, another rival actress. The interesting thing is that each charachter has some motive for the murder. And finally the real murderer turns out to be... (You have to read the book to find out).

'Stillwatch' is about a young reporter who is making a television documentary. But what she does NOT know is that this documentary is linked to her past and will affect her present life. Not much of a mystery here but still an interesting read.

'A cry in the night' reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho and hence the reason for 4 stars.

A good selection for those who have a preference for mysteries (minus politics, violence and sex).

This was the second Mary Higgins Clark book Ive read and I must say the best. My first being silent night. The contents are very intruging, shocking, and captivating. I highly reccomend this book. I gave it 4 stars because some points are too into depth. As a whole this book was intelligently awesome.

If you enjoy these suspenseful books, then this is the book for you. It's a book about a woman named Pat, who is a reporter for a local cable news station that is doing a segment on Senator Abbigal Jennings and how she may become the first female Vice President. Along the way she comes into problems. Pat is starting to get threats about the airing of the segment. What could the Senator be hiding that could put herself at danger to not get elected the first female Vice President?

Clark Ashton Smith wrote prolifically for the old pulp magazines, mostly during the 1920s and 1930s, but his main interest was in poetry. That preoccupation with language is clearly evident in every entry in this volume, which represents a collection of all the stories (including a few incomplete fragments) that pertained to his imaginary land of "Hyperborea," lost in the mists of antiquity. These stories also fit in with the so-called "Cthulhu mythos" of H.P. Lovecraft and numerous other writers, which present an alternative history of humanity as only the latest (and weakest) of earth's sentient denizens, subject to the awful inhuman powers of greater beings that originally came from other planets. What distinguishes Smith's work from that of other Cthulhu writers, or from other writers of fantasy, is his style of writing (borrowed from the 19th century decadent poets he loved and emulated), his morbid and ironic sense of humor, and his penchant for avoiding happy endings.

From a modern perspective this doesn't always work. One gets the distinct impression in many of these stories of a writer more in love with his own wordcraft than in tune with his narrative. Some of the stories are plainly ridiculous; "The Door to Saturn," for example, rates as unbearably poor science fiction in an Ed Wood, 50's B-movie vein. Others contain the germ of a wonderful idea, but squander it on what amount to small-minded jokes, despite the florid prose that attempts to disguise them as something else ("The Seven Geases" in particular). Nevertheless, some of these ideas are worth experiencing, and some of Smith's humor still bites.

A collection of short stories that originally appeared in pulp magazines such as "Weird Tales", C. A. Smith's "Book of Hyperborea" transcends the pulp genre and attains the level of true literary artistry. Smith's measured prose sings where his friend and contemporary Lovecraft stutters or shrieks. (Not to cast aspersions: Lovecraft's vaulting imagination more than makes up for his faults as a stylist.) These tales combine elements of Baudelaire, De Quincy, "A Thousand Nights and a Night", and "Vathek" to produce a vibrant, sensuous, and luxuriant world in which every story has a satisfyingly unhappy ending. Needless to say, this is a quite different approach than that of most current writers of fantastic fiction. So if you have a taste for the plodding prose and hopelessly worthy and boring heroes of Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, et al., then by all means pass Mr. Smith by. He was out of step during his prime, so it's unlikely his shade will be troubled by your continued neglect. In any case, Smith wrote for the ages: like the work of Dunsany and Cabell--certainly the greatest literary artists in fantastic fiction--these stories are intended for a well-read, cultivated audience. Consequently, I recommend this book more to readers of belles lettres than to fans of paperback fantasy trilogies. If you like Poe, you should give Clark Ashton Smith a try. Edward Gorey enthusiasts who are looking for something a little juicier than, though equally gruesome as, Regera Dowdy's stark narratives, will also enjoy C. A. Smith's mordant gloominess of tone.

Smith's work is vibrant, lyrical, mordant, bitter, elegiac, and altogether wonderful. With attention spans growing shorter and shorter all the time it isn't likely that Smith will experience a sudden upsurge in popularity, for his is a style that makes some demands on the reader --- and unfortunately, fewer readers seem anxious to meet a writer even halfwasy, judging from the amazing quantities of dreck clogging the bookshops. Few of Smith's books are in print (more's the pity) but it's worth searching out-of-print venues for them, especially his mammoth COLLECTED POEMS edition from Arkham House. Few writers could move between the extremes of Gothic horror and sardonic comedy with such assurance as Smith managed the trick.

Pinnock's work, mostly because of the variety of authors who contributed, is difficult to rate fairly. Overall, however, the work was unconvincing in showing that an Arminian soteriology is superior to a Reformed one. The work was loaded with purely emotional appeals - in fact, I would consider this the greatest drawback of the book. The judging of the correctness of a doctrine was determined, in most chapters anyway, by whether or not the author could stomach the emotional implications of the doctrine of unconditional predestination. Calvinism was evaluated by whether or not it seemed fair, not by whether or not it was Biblically or philosophically convincing. Sadly, the book contained virtually no thorough philosophical or Biblical arguments defending Arminianism. In fact, the ninth chapter of Romans was not even dealt with. Furthermore, many of the arguments in all of the chapters were based on a priori assumptions on the nature of freedom and personhood that were stated but never proven. Pinnock's and Rice's chapters did not at all succeed in proving their thesis that the Bible teaches that God does not possess complete foreknowledge of future human volitions. In fact, the entire book was noticeably lacking in serious exegesis. The one possible exception is I. Howard Marshall's challenging essay on the scope of the atonement in the Pastoral Epistles. And, though not persuasive, William Lane Craig's chapter offered a good, brief overview of Molinism. But these chapters were diamonds in the rough - and even they were not really compelling. I recommend this work to anyone wishing to learn more about Arminianism, but it is not for someone who desires a full-scale Biblical defense of it. This book reveals more of the mindset of contemporary Arminianism than it does the content of the scriptures.

For the most part I found this book to be quite intellectually stimulating and a major challenge to the Calvinist point of view. The editor did a good job of assembling articles that represent the spectrum of opinions within the Arminian camp.
A few of the extreme positions I don't agree with. But most of the book is very good. I. Howard Marshall's article on the pastoral epistles and William L. Craig's piece on middle-knowledge are both excellent. But I was particularly impressed with Terry Miethe's article, "The Universal Power of the Atonement." This is a major personal interest of mine. For a book-length work on this issue (written by a British Puritan Arminian theologian) I recommend "Redemption Redeemed: A Puritan Defense of Unlimited Atonement" by John Goodwin.

This book is a scholarly collection of 15 articles (each written by a different theologian) addressing the fierce historic Calvinist-Arminian debate from the Arminian point of view. I recommend it highly. It gives sound analysis and refutations of Calvinist positions on election, the atonement, exhaustive sovereignty, and other issues. Most of the reasoning is top notch. However, I don't necessarily agree with all of the articles. Two stray into hyper-Arminianism and insist that God has limited his omniscience to give man freedom. But even those articles are well-reasoned and challenging. Clark Pinnock, the editor, is to be commended for this work and I hope it stays in print for a long time.

Mr. Pinnock does genuine Evangelicals a favor with this book and his more recent Most Moved Mover (the most Mormon of his writings to date, where he espouses an embodied deity not necessarily pure spirit-being, rejects a biblical hell, waxes processismically poetic about God 'actualizing his temporal pole', claiming Jesus misprophesied and a Bible full of errors).

With this book, Pinnock proves that he and his followers like Gregory Boyd and John Sanders are neither evangelical nor pure Processers, but a dysfunctional hybrid of both/neither: in a class all their own, but not in the Biblical category in the areas where they depart from Historic Christianity.

His writings in this book should be taken at face value: facing away from an Inerrant Bible and faced with a stinging rebuke from the True God,

"I am angry with you because you have not spoken of Me what is right." (Job 42)

The main problem with this book and all Pinnock, Boyd & Co pontificate and fabricate is: they have drunk deeply of Process Theory (see Boyd's TRINITY & PROCESS for definitive proof), assuming much of Charles Hartshorne's philosophic framework is correct. But this bi-polar beverage has blurred their vision when it comes to reading Scripture and formulating theology. Instead, they have contrived a 'Neo-logy' which is less Biblical and more mormonistic, processismic, liberalistic, evolutionistic with every new book.

Credit is given (thus the one lone star!) for being a master of Eisegesis (reading faulty presuppositions into the Bible that are distortive figments of fertile, vain imagination). But without mastery of Exegesis (author-intended drawing out of the supernatural textual meaning via Holy Spirit's inerrant revelation without presuppositional legerdemain), Pinnock gives the reader untraditional bi-polar neo-process contra-biblical false teaching, aberrancy, heterodoxy, heretical inadequacy.

While attempting to build a case for Open Theory of Bible Interpretation,which selectively/artificially literalizes much of Bible's God-analogous-to-man language (conveniently excluding physical form texts or Divine Unknown Question texts like "Saul,Saul,why do you persecute Me?" "Cain, why is your face downcast?" "Moses, why do you cry out to Me?" and dozens more)all the author has demonstrated is the debt Openness owes to Charles Hartshorne,Bi-Polar Processist (see separate review of Hartshorne's 'Omnipotence&Other Theological Mistakes',so seminal/paradigmatic for Open Theory).He tries to distance Open deity from Process deity, and many points are valid [God is not identified with the world pantheistically or unable to use His power from time-to-time to intervene and make adjustments to the course of history, or of necessity dependent on Creation(merely by free loving choice),Trinity,Creation Ex Nihilo,etc.]Openness is not equivalent to Process, but the commonalities and co-presuppositions are striking and ramifications on how they do theology are often unwitting, yet like Greg Boyd,he acknowledges philosophical/metaphysical/rational/paradigmatic indebtedness to Hartshorne,without whom Open Theory would most likely not have come to be.Some excerpts from Pinnock's recent Evangelical Society essay highlight how far he has trespassed over the borderline separating Orthodox Christianity from Process and Free-Will theories:SELF-EMPTYING DIVINE ATTRIBUTES -We could think of Open view as a theology of kenosis,i.e. 'Self-Emptying'.God freely chose self-limitation for the sake of covenant with humankind,just as the Son of God,surrendering the divine glory to become human,chose to enter fully into the human condition and share in human suffering. It is characteristic of love to be Self-Emptying and the Incarnation reveals how God likes to use His power,not to dominate,but to love. In creating,there was Self-Emptying of Omnipotence (see Hartshorne's book above). There is also Self-Emptying of Eternity. By bringing into being a Temporal creation whose nature is expressed sequentially as unfolding history,the Creator granted reality to Time and ACTUALIZED IN HIS DIVINE NATURE A TEMPORAL POLE such that He knows things as they really are temporally in succession. There must be in God BOTH THAT WHICH IS WHOLLY FREE FROM VARIATION BUT ALSO THAT WHICH CORRESPONDS TO VARYING CIRCUMSTANCES OF A TEMPORAL universe. INCARNATION INVOLVES SO DRASTIC AN INVOLVEMENT WITH TEMPORAL reality we conclude Time is not foreign to Divine Self-Emptying Nature.

This is enough of an idea from Pinnock's recent public teaching to conclude:1)It is unashamedly BI-POLAR as a theology,jettisoning the Biblical concept of MONO-POLAR Theism. Pinnock even used the processistic buzzwords of'actualized in his divine nature a Temporal Pole', and God is 'both free from variation and varies with varying circumstances',i.e.poles of changing and non-changing. The free-will deity is Bi-Polar in regards to divine attributes,thus double/dual/binary poles/terminals/loci/foci/cores of reality/nature/being/existence/relationality - straight from the Process Playbook as this book abundantly shows him in dialog with Process Theists.2)It's fine to emphasize the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity,since that's the core of Scripture/Christianity.However,to violate Paul's dictum of "Do not go beyond what is written!" is to transgress Evangelical Boundaries into illegitimate territory:neo-Processistic Bi-Polarism. For Pinnock to conclude that since Christ became incarnate (remember this was a miraculous 33-year manifestation of Son of God on earth in human flesh to accomplish the sin bearing mission) means a continual/permanent norm of Trinitarian Revelation or change in God the Father and God the Holy Spirit or 'Self-Emptying of the Trinity to accomodate to mortal/temporal reality' is heterodoxy of the First Order.As the Bible actually teaches, the Son of God added a human nature to His Divine Nature without compromising/reducing/evacuating His Deity -FOR A SEASON ONLY (Pre-Glorification).To assert that the Father and the Holy Spirit also are Incarnatized,Finitized,Self-Emptying,Temporally Limited,Bi-Polar is to encroach WAY BEYOND what is written! Scripture knows of no such aberrant/overboard novel heterodoxy.3)If according to Pinnock God's Divine Attributes are all Self-Emptying (Omnipotence,Eternity, Omnipresence,Changelessness,etc.)then too must Omniscience be Self-Emptying/Temporalized/Limited/Finite. That's why he arrives at God not having any DEFINITE EXHAUSTIVE awareness of self-determining free-agent futures since they don't exist in God's 'present reality' to be known.The Future is NOT REAL!

In summary, Pinnock here and elsewhere with his conditional solidarity with Processistic thought as evidenced by his dialogue with Process/Bi-Polar theorists to shape his theology ends up to no surprise with a deity quite different from the Bible as held by Jews/Rabbis,Church Fathers,Prot.Reformers,Roman Catholic,Eastern Orthodox,Evangelical Historical interpretation of Scripture.The Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity for a specific,33-year miracle of Redemptive Revelation now becomes normative for the First and Third Persons of God as well who also share in the Incarnatization on an ongoing basis to properly,lovingly relate to us,distorting clear Bible teaching and making a mockery of the true doctrine/purpose of Christmas (it wasn't after all 'Patrimas'-Father's sending; or'Pneumas' -Spirit's sending; or 'Trinimas' -Trinity's sending,but CHRIST-mas:Christ's,Jesus',Son of God's mission.There is profound Mystery in the Incarnation and Triune Godhead, but to twist and tweak Cardinal Biblical Truth into Mystical/Mythical speculation/conjecture about the Father and Spirit being also in a sense Incarnatized similar to Christ,and even the Risen,Ascended,Glorified,Enthroned,Yet-to-Come Son of God being 'Self-Emptying'beyond His Resurrection/Glorification/Exaltation is Aberrant Heterodoxy of the First Magnitude on Cardinal Doctrinal levels.(See separate review of Pinnock's more recent 'Most Moved Mover' detailing its almost LDS/Mormon conception of an embodied/not-necessarily-
pure-spirit-being-sort of deity and an errant Bible as well as a
misprophesying Christ and other contra-biblical speculation).

This is what John MacArthur in 'Bound Only Once' has to conclude about Pinnock's brand of 'Self-Emptying Theism'-

In C.S.Lewis' Narnia Chronicles,Aslan,the fierce but loving lion,represents Christ the 'wild,not tame lion,both good and fearsome.People who have not been to Narnia sometimes think a thing can't be good and terrible at the same time.'

That same basic false assumption was the starting point for the heresy of Open Theism. New-model theologians assume God could not be good and terrible at the same time,so they set out to divest Him of whatever attributes they didn't like ('empty' him of them)and pad the ones they like (Love,Relational,Vulnerable,Intimate,Risk,Learn,Share,etc.)Like Socinians and liberals(processists)before them,they are on the misguided quest to make God 'good' according to humanistic/rationalistic definition of what they consider 'good',devising a deity of their own making (see Norm Geisler's book BATTLE FOR GOD refuting Open Theism).In the final book of Narnia,a wicked ape drapes a lion skin over a witless donkey and pretends it to be Aslan,a sinister,dangerous pretense leading countless Narnians astray. The Open deity is like the donkey in an ill-fitting lion's skin,leading many sincere seekers away from the glorious Son of God of Scripture.Aslan(Christ) is both good and fearsome,loving and wrathful,benevolent and terrifying,deliverer and destroyer,rewarder and punisher,blesser and curser. His wrath is just as real as His love,His fangs are just as real as His fur,His claws are every bit as real as His cuddliness.

If only Pinnock would have read more C.S.Lewis and Scripture and less of Hartshorne,Cobb,Whitehead and non-evangelical,liberal theorists,books like SEARCHING FOR AN ADEQUATE GOD would never have been written or need to be exposed as an artificial lion skin covering revisionist fantasy.

This book is crucial for sorting out whether Open Theists are really evangelical Process Theists. This book's spirited, yet surprisingly irenic, dialogue demonstrates that while the two perspectives share a few commonalities, they are undoubtedly very different from one another. The 'Crucial Difference', as Open Theist William Hasker puts it, is that Process Theism dismisses Divine Intervention in human affairs, while Open Theism wholeheartedly affirms this treasured evangelical truth. While I do not adhere to either system, I cannot in good conscience label Open Theists as closet Process Theists, heretics or non-inerrantists for that matter. This book proved to me that the writings of Open Theists need and deserve to be taken at face value. There has been far too much eisegesis of their claims and not enough exegesis of them, particularly from the Baptist General Conference, the Evangelical Theological Society and the overall Reformed hegemony. While I believe Open Theism is wrong on many counts, I certainly wouldn't call it heresy. I highly recommend that those who wish to engage in fair, even-handed investigation on Open Theism's relationship and deviation from Process Theism read this book. It has proven to be the most profitable book on Open Theism I've read to date. I'm certain it will put many allegations levied against Open Theists to rest. So lay your presuppositions concerning Open Theism aside and allow its proponents be heard on their own terms. You'll be glad you did.
