The Bible; God's Word for the Bibicaly-Inept
Wonderful! I used it a lot when teaching my sunday school class the big picture of the Bible. Great book!

Excellent
When you lack a framework it's very difficult to understand anything. The interesting decorations of a home would mean nothing if there were no framework to attatch them too! This is what this book has done for me, given me a framework to attach these stories too. Many of the stories in the bible come to life when you know and understand what happened before and after and how the people who had the experiences might have thought. It really has brought to life the power of God for me and his complete plan from the beginning of the Bible to the end! I would recommend this to any level of Christian. I have been a Christian for 15 years and this has been an excellent tool for both learning and better equiping me to witness.

great for beginners and old-timers alike!
I'm enjoying this book so much because it gives key points and lessons so clearly that it makes me eager to learn and know more. It has made me eager to read my bible again.

read a long time ago; still one of my favorites !!
Read this soon after it came out. I continue to be surprised not to find it re-released. The topic (resurrection of Christ as a carnival side-show attraction) is original, funny, and thought-provoking....he just wants to be left alone, but the new-age version of the devil won't. Would love to see a sequel !!

Wonderful for children
"The Lord's Prayer" is a great book for children to learn to understand why people pray, how to pray, and what can happen when you pray. The illustrations are nice, eye catching and simple. Not overdone as in most bible stories. The best part of the book is the rhyming verses . . . children take to this so well. Overall, very simple, easy to understand, and extremely fun to read!

My toddler loves this book
We received this book as a gift for my 12-month-old. He loves the sing-song rhythm. Some nights we read it over and over again because he's not interested in any other book. I love the book because it ends with "Jesus loves you also and will always be with you."

George Burns is a funny man! This book deserves to be in print. It chronicles his and many other famous comedian's lives, like Al Jolson and Jack Benny. Al in all a great read.

A captivating read...
I am an avid reader. I was taking a trip and decided to buy a novel to read on the plane. I was browsing in the bookstore and I came across Liar's Game. I am a big fan of Omar Tyree, Michael Baisden, Yolanda Joe, and Terry McMillan, but I had never read anything by Eric Jerome Dickey. I read the dust jacket and decided to take a chance. I began to read and I could not put the book down. I figured it would be interesting, but I never expected it to keep me wanting more. I was so eager to find out how things were going to end, that I spend a large part of my vacation reading. In fact, my best friend had to pry the book away from me to get me to pay attention to her! I was very impressed by the novel. The characters were very realistic and the way Mr. Dickey wrote the story allowed me to picture every scene in my mind. I have become a true fan of Eric Jerome Dickey, and I plan to read all of his works. I just finished Cheaters (I loved it!) and I am about to start reading Sister, Sister. To everyone who is reading this review, BUY THE BOOK. You won't be disappointed!

A Real Roller Coaster
This author has carved out a niche for himself in writing about relationships, often bad ones. The central relationship in this book, between Vincent and Dana, is fraught with drama and is seems doomed from the start. He lies about being divorced with a child. She covers up the fact that she is broke and still in love with the man whose actions lead to her declaring bankruptcy. Their differences seem insurmoutable and provide quite a bit of tension. Throughout the book, you just want them to throw in the towel already.

Although I enjoyed this book, I found it unrealistic. Taken as just entertainment it hits the mark squarely. But anyone looking for any deeper meaning or commentary on the state of relations between men and women may find it lacking. True, the dating scene is often a "Liar's Game" as folks with major issues lie and withhold information to make themselves more attractive; however, I don't see folks with this type of baggage making a long-term relationship work.

Dana is manipulative, bossy and volatile. She also has a nasty little habit of licking Vince's gum before putting it in his mouth. That really annoyed me. Vince is weak and lacks direction. He's stuck in a dead-end job, in a crummy apartment, pining away for an ex-wife who never loved him and a child that he is not allowed to see.

The not-so-happy couple is surrounded by other troubled couples -- the feuding lesbians across the hall, Dana's friend Gerri and her young stud and Vince's Jehri curl-wearing pal Womack and his wife. These subplots allow the writer to explore class issues and formerly taboo topics. Dickey provides an interesting treatment of those issues though it does have the feel of a tabloid.

For this genre, this book is pretty good. I would however like to see Mr. Dickey expand his horizons and tackle something other than dysfunctional relationships. Also, it would be great if he could for once include a normal, likeable female character.

A FUNNY AND REALISTIC LOOK AT RELATIONSHIPS OF THE HEART.
Eric Jerome Dickey's latest novel is set in Los Angeles and centers around Vince Brown and Dana Smith. The two meet in a bar and decide to keep parts of their pasts hidden. He hides the fact that he has an ex-wife and a child; she hides the fact that she left New York because of her ex who left her tapped out financially not to mention emotionally.

Vince and Dana embark on a relationship that seems destined for the altar. They are chugging along nicely until the truth derails their love train. The big question then becomes will love conquer all? Vince's struggle to see his daughter and Dana's struggle to be rid of her ex leads to a roller coaster ride of emotions.

The book's other characters, along with Mr. Dickey's wit and style produced a book that is a quick read, funny, and will certainly tug at the heart of any reader that has been in a relationship.
