I read it over about two weeks -- there's too much to think about to read it straight through -- and I underlined passages that seemed particularly meaningful or insightful. Several times I cried.
My next step is to go over the underlined parts and think about them. And then I'll read the book again, but slowly. Each chapter starts with a poem written by somebody like "us." Poetry so perfectly puts emotions into words and I found pieces of myself and my feelings over and over again.
I found out why some things have worked so well for me, things that I did intuitively. Others have done similar things. I've made some mistakes. Others have made the same mistakes. I'm uniquely myself, but so much like everyone else.
I'm very grateful to Mr. Levy. I'm very grateful that this book was waiting for me. I'm very grateful that I found it.

If everyone whould have read the book, the world would have been a much better place already.
The subliminal comfort of 2150 AD's message would read the same today as it did then. Read it for yourself and see !
En resumen..... Excelente....

The chapters all have a ring of truth as they describe the horrible conditions of the prisoners in Stalin's Siberian camps. The stories of how Father Arseny, a former art historian turned Russian Orthodox priest, survived and shared the love of God with his fellow prisoners, including the Communist official who sent him there, are humbling and truly awe inspiring.
The middle section deals with Father Arseny's days following his release from prison, but still during the days of Communist opposition to any underground Christian activity.
The final section introduces the reader to individuals whose lives were incredibly touched by the ministry and faith of Father Arseny.
We in the West need to learn more about what went on behind the Iron Curtain during the Bolshevik years. This book puts a human face on the suffering.
This books is highly recommended for spiritual edification and growth.

Until Next Time is a wicked book! I loved it! Linda Alexander bases her story on the age-old battle between good and evil. She interweaves several subplots into the primary plot to keep the reader enmeshed in the story and feeling a tight level of tension throughout the book.
There is an "Author's Acknowledgement" at the beginning of the book that states her purpose in writing this book as: "... to try and make believers of those who just can't seem to accept the truth of good versus evil. Both are just at the tips of our fingertips." She goes own to present a passage that will stand your hair on end. Before you even begin the actual story, you are already thinking of all the evil things you have ever witnessed or heard about. This is an extremely strong author's foreword and is highly effective in setting the mood for the book. It demonstrates Alexander's straight forward, in-your-face style and power in writing.
The main character is Perry Conners, a highly successful businessman with an eye on the Senate seat for the next term. He is forty-five years old, in perfect health, well-built, good looking, down-to-earth, and convinced that he is having a breakdown. He cannot get any rest and he is declining quickly. He has lost all interest in sex and does not understand why. His searches for answers result in medical and psychological testing that only confirms that there is nothing wrong.
Perry's wife, Mollie, has left, even though she still loves and desires him, and is filing for divorce. She manipulates the legal system to get a female judge, Annette Black, who is bitterly vengeful because Perry turned down her advances. Together they plot to ruin him, with the assistance of Mollie's father, a well-respected judge that will readily take up for his only child, even though he knows she is wrong.
The only three persons Perry can turn to are a new acquaintance, Michaele Vincente, a psychiatrist; his sister, Senator Barbara Satterly; and his personal assistant, Lillia. Unfortunately, Lillia has her own agenda for revenge, acquisition of Perry's fortune, and the disposal of Perry once her plan is completed. She will utilize any weapon and go to any length to see her scheme through. She is evil personified.
Perry's trust for this woman combines with his distraction by the other elements in his life to leave him wide open and vulnerable to this evil woman. Will she achieve her goals? Will he learn the truth before it is too late?
Linda Alexander has skillfully created a superb story that captivates the reader's attention and takes them on a trip through the mind of the most evil creature on this planet. She feeds you just enough information to keep you turning pages to learn more. The ending provides a satisfactory closure, while leaving an opportunity for a sequel, which I do hope to see. This is one story that is simply too marvelous to end here! Get a copy and dive into the horrors of evil today. You will never look at your neighbor the same way again!
Linda Alexander is the author of two nonfiction books, The Unpromised Land and Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard X. She has written for several magazines and has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Sally Jesse Raphael Show.

The authors did a great job in going straight to the points without omiting vital information.
This is the book for those who find "Microeconomic analysis" isn't self-contained and find "Microeconomic theory" too complex.
Simple, and accurate at the same time. Fortunately there are still authors that are able to make complicate things simple.
I suggest this book to understand better what you can't grasp in other books, say, Mas Colell et al. Not all topics are covered and you should refer to other (boring) books to sort things out, but in the end the rule "small is beatiful" is a winning one. Every student taking a course in microeconomics at post-graduate level should buy this and proudly say "I really know something about microeconomics".

Thom has done a superb job of showcasing George Rogers Clark in this book. It's an outstanding read and could well set the reader on an adventure for more historical fiction from this fine author. Be sure to check out 'From Sea to Shining Sea' as well.
I read straight through over about two weeks -- there's too much to think about to read it in one or two sittings -- and I underlined passages that seemed particularly meaningful or insightful. Several times I cried.
Now I'll go over the underlined parts and think about them. And then I'll read the book again, but slowly. Each chapter starts with a poem written by somebody like "us." Poetry so perfectly puts emotions into words and I found pieces of myself and my feelings over and over again.

I'm very grateful to Mr. Levy. I'm very grateful that this book was waiting for me. I'm very grateful that I found it. And it's a keeper.
