Dr. Zaka and Dr. McDowell have compiled a wealth of information and knowledge in this book. Dr. Zaka is an authority concerning Islam and I highly recommend this book to any Christian searching for methods of interaction with Muslims. I give this book 5 very enthusiastic stars.

This book is a great resource to have to understand how Muslims came into existence. It clearly lays out differences and explains how the Muslims view the Bible and Jesus. I was unaware of specific Bible passages that Muslims think were changed to hide references to Mohammad.
One illustration that was very helpful to me is that the Muslims view the Koran as Christians view Christ.
This book will give the reader a clear understanding of Muslims origin, doctrine and culture. It helps to remove any fear or mystery in speaking with them.

The authors have done an excellent job of re-centering our priorities in ministry to Muslims. They focus on friendship and understanding as the keys to effective minstry. The book has a healthy balance of theology and history with practical ministry applications. At Biola University we have used their models for a continuing relationship with Muslims in our area.

The book "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara is the most realistic historical depiction of a battle that has ever crossed my path. The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War. Shaara explains in thorough detail the thoughts and actions of the important generals that fought long and hard. I realized all the things the men had to give up and how amazing it was to see that they still had hope they would win and be back home with their families soon. The novel is set up in chronological order of events that took place during the four days of the bloody and decisive battle of the Civil War. It is split up by the days and then into the main generals that fought. This way the readers can have a good mental picture of how each event came about. It even shows maps for the readers to understand each step the North and South took. I knew just where the battles were taking place and why the generals try to use the land for their own advantage. It was very interesting to read about the different strategies and tactics the generals utilized in the destruction of their enemies. The main generals for the South were Lee and Longstreet. For the North there was Buford and Chamberlain. These men truely believed in what they were fighting for and had praid to God for help. The battlefield sections of the novel were my favorite parts to read. Chamberlain's sight on Little Round Top was very moving and courageous. I enjoyed how the book made me feel like I was directly involved with the incidents that occurred. I could feel the love and impact each man had on one other. The men had big dreams and a huge desire in their hearts to win. This re-creation of the battle was amazing.

Even if you are not a Civil War buff, forget about it! This book will touch your heart and sometimes amaze you. Friends and collegues fighting against one another, killing one another as they stand behind their strongest convinctions. The author reveals this story primarily from the point of view of the officers on both sides as they ponder the circumstances and consider what they must sacrifice in order to win. The story is the battle of Gettysburg, three bloody days in July 1863 told through the eyes and hearts of the men who stood across the battlefield from one another and witnessed the bloodiest battle in American History. (More American's died on the fields of Gettysburg in three days than during the entire Vietnam war) For me, it's a difficult thing to consider Americans killing Americans for what they believe in. Of course, in the modern era Americans are still shooting at each other, but usually it's of a criminal nature. Back then, it was to defend values and character. This book opens up a world that has been long forgotten. It is a brilliant work that has given me a fine appreciation of what it means to die for what you believe in. Even if you hate the civil war, you should give this book a try. It is enjoyable on many levels.

This book is an absolute MUST for all Civil War buffs. I have read this book at least 25 times, and I will NEVER tire of it. Shaara's characterizations of ALL the people involved, not just the main characters, bring the Battle of Gettysburg to life in a way that will stay with you forever. I especially enjoyed the details of the confederates' interaction with and reaction to Lt. Col. Fremantle of the British Cold Stream Guard. Also, Shaara's writing puts you in the shoes of the main characters...makes you feel like you are there. Finally, this book cemented and affirmed my true admiration for Gen. Robert E. Lee. He was truly a man of extreme intelligence, fiery moral and religious convictions, and more than likely the greatest military strategist the world had ever seen. If I could go back in history and meet any one person, Robert E. Lee would be at the top of the list. I have Michael Shaara to thank for that. And if you read this book and love it, DON'T MISS "Gods and Generals" and "The Last Full Measure" by Jeff Shaara.

This DVD contains 27 wonderful songs like: Sesame Street Theme, Rubber Duckie, "C" is for Cookie, Happy Tappin' With Elmo, Dance Myself to Sleep, I Don't Want to Live in the Moon, Sing, and many many more songs.

I took a star off because has no special features or subtitles, but it's still very good. I've watched it 3 times since it arrived a day ago!

If you ever wanted a collection of all the most famous Sesame Street songs, look no further. This has all the classics, from Rubber Duckie to C Is For Cookie. My 2-year-old loves this video to death (so you might want to get the DVD to avoid tape degradation), and if you watched Sesame Street as a kid, get ready for a ride down memory lane. Another triumph for the CTW.

I bought this video for my son because he couldn't get enough of another Sesame Street video (123 Count with Me). He really enjoys this one as well. This may be the best Sesame Street video out there so far. It has enough older clips and songs and includes newer characters as well - and it doesn't go overboard on the amount of Elmo. I can actually remember a lot of these songs from when I used to watch Sesame Street.

This is a good video for a child who likes songs and music. Not all of the Sesame Street videos have as much music and are more dialogue. Because there is more music it appeals to younger viewers more than some of the other videos out there (my son is 19 months old).

Enjoy!
