Mr. Grigg holds your intrest with his easy to read style, while presenting this thoroughly documented report of how the goal of the United Nations is bring about world peace by having everyone recieve the same UN aproved education and practice their aproved one-world pagan religion. If you disagree... Well, that won't be an option.
Read this book. Learn. You won't get this information on the nightly news.

The author, William Norman Grigg, is senior editor for The New American, a publication of the John Birch Society. The JBS has been at the forefront of the effort to get the US out of the UN. This book, written in 1995, is still an important work. Mr. Grigg has meticulously foot-noted his expose into what direction the UN elite want to take the world, especially the US. Beneath its veneer and rhetoric, the UN is a socialist/communist organization. Its vision of rights is completely opposite of that of America's Founders, as Mr. Grigg explains. Read the book to see actual quotes from Americans who support the UN. You will be surprised, as I was. Our children are being programmed in government schools to accept the legitimacy and authority of the UN, and this does not bode well for the future of this country. I urge you to read this book and, if you want to stay current, subscribe to The New American.

This book reveals the evil forces behind the United Nations. It is not a club of well-meaning, idealistic Christians. The founding of the UN has been the work of Communists. In truth the UN is an organization that has been leading a global campaign against: - the Christian family - traditional Biblical values - the nationhood of America The UN is the world's anti-people planner. How can an organization be so presumptuous that it makes guidelines for world population? This tyranny needs to be ended. Distributing contraceptives to teenagers without parents' consent, and moving the world to an antichristian New World Order. If you are pro-life, pro-family, and pro-gun, then you need to read this book to grasp that this global organization is against your freedoms. The UN is busy promoting abortion, destruction of the family, and eradication of Biblical religion in the name of "social progress". Since I read that book, I am an absolute UN opponent. The world would be a better place without that kind of an organization. What I like about this book is William Norman Grigg's strong Christian conviction that is revealed on every page. He says the truth: the world's only hope for peace is not the United Nations, but it is Jesus Christ! He is the Prince of Peace the Bible says!

This book has a lot of helpful insight on the history of how we got our Bible. Of course the book is not in favour of the Textus Receptus/KJV, however the information found in this book concerning Canonization, and Inspiration is good.

A great one volume work on the inspiration, canonization, transmission and translation of the Bible. There are also good B&W photos, e.g. the Habakkuk Commentary, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, so one of the earliest extant manuscripts of the OT; and P52, the oldest NT fragment.

There are good refutations of a number of false views, e.g. that an inspired Bible can contain error. The authors demonstrate that Biblical errantists confuse several concepts:

Adaptation to human finitude vs accommodation to human error: the former does not entail the latter. A mother might tell her four-year-old 'you grew inside my tummy' - this is not false, but language simplified to the child's level. Conversely, 'the stork brought you' is an outright error. Similarly, God, the author of truth, used some simplified descriptions (e.g. using the earth as a reference frame, as modern scientists do today) and anthropomorphisms, but never error.

Limitation vs misunderstanding: while the Second Person of the Trinity was incarnate in Jesus of Nazareth, He voluntarily limited His omniscience (Phil. 2:5-11). I.e., in His humanity, He did not know all things. But this does *not* entail that He was mistaken about anything He said. All human understanding is finite, but this doesn't entail that every human understanding is errant. Also, what Jesus *did* preach, He proclaimed with absolute authority (Mt. 24:35, 28:18), because He was speaking with the full authority of God the Father (John 5:30, 8:28), who is always omniscient. So if errantists wish to maintain his charge that Christ was mistaken because of His humanity, they must logically charge God the Father with error as well.

Geisler and Nix also show that canonicity was *not* determined by men (e.g. the Church), but determined by God and *recognized* by men.

The sections on the accuracy of transmission and translation should help Christians have confidence that when they read a Bible accurately translated into their own language today, they *are* reading the very Word of God.

Geisler and Nix have provided the Christian community with a standard introduction text to Biblical studies. This book is divided up into four major parts. Each part provides enormous detail covering issues that range from Inspiration (part 1), Canonization (part 2), Transmission (part 3) and Translation (part 4). In part one the authors discuss the definitions of revelation and inspiration, various claims of inspiration, the historical context of inspiration, to contemporary issues of inspiration. In part two canonicity is covered with its developing history, as well as an exposition of the texts that did not make it into the Bible (i.e. Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha). Part three provides the reader with a strong emphasis on transmission of the texts, the languages of the texts, OT manuscripts, NT manuscripts, development of textual criticism, etc. The final part consists of translation of the OT and NT texts, Latin versions, English versions, modern English versions, etc. Moreover, scattered throughout this text book are illustrations, charts, actual textual photos, and diagrams. The book has a pretty comprehensive glossary, an appendix of the chronological history of the various translations of the Bible, an index, and a massive bibliography. This book is a must have for the serious student of the Bible. Moreover, both Geisler and Nix are conservative scholars and this makes for a nice conservative piece of work. Don't miss placing this high quality volume in your library, you will only be at a loss without it.

This being one of Shakespeare's less-performed works, I purchased the tape to read with the text, before seeing a production. It's also one of the few audiobooks I've purchased. Worth every penny--like listening to a radio play! Wonderful diction, stirring readings, not what I expected from a play that--let's face it--is confusing for those not versed in English history. Having gone through it once, I can now listen to it without the text and pretty much follow the action. Glad I purchased Parts II and III at the same time.

As three television series and numerous versions on stage have demonstrated, the Henry VI trilogy plays very well on stage, even when given without cuts. None of the action and certainly none of the characters are particularly complex; although a good deal of background information about Richard II and Henry IV is requisite to appreciating what is happening here. And when "Richard III" follows, this play is made so much clearer appearing as it does as the logical consequence of all the events that came before it. Therefore I am delighted to report (1) are now available as late entries in the remarkable Arkangel Shakespeare series put out by Penguin Putnam, and (2) they make for some terrific listening.

Using some military music and representative battle cries for the many combat scenes and the opening and closing of doors to let us know about entrances and exits, this set gives us a fast-paced account of Shakespeare's dramatic shaping of so many years of tumultuous English history.

Now this play has a large cast and it is very seldom clear just who is speaking at any given moment--a problem endemic to any play on tape with several characters--and it is recommended that one have a text handy during the first hearing. Or if you have seen the magnificent BBC productions of this trilogy, you might be able to know who is speaking from your memory of that series. Suffice it to say, most of the important characters can be recognized by their voices, although (as many critics have pointed out) all the men do tend to speak alike until the very idiosyncratic voice of Richard Gloucester appears late in Part II.

Since the demise of the old legendary series on Decca/London label back in the LP days, this is the only recording we have of these three plays; and we are very fortunate they are done so well.

The "Richard III" came out at the same time and I will record my comments about that set on the appropriate webpage.

I recently read Hob aloud to two kids (10 and 12) and we all had a ball. Every single time one of the kids had a question Mayne answered it in the very next sentence. He seems to have an almost magical understanding of the way kids' minds work. Hob's particular take on the world has warped us forever

As one who works in a school, I can now scarcely wait for school to start so I can share this with the kids. The imaginative langauge used to describe inanimate objects as Hob sees them opens new ways of viewing the world. The adventure comes full circle and by the end of what could have been, but isn't, a very pat goblin it is impossible not to want a Hob around the house. The letters used to begin each chapter are alone worth the price of the book. This is one book that I can't imagine not reading again and again for a new look at the world.

This fantastic book is almost impossible to put down. It follows the tale of the Bank from initial studies, through the invited international competition, design development, bidding, and construction. The challenges of building the "most expensive building ever built" in the middle of South-East Asia involved manufacturing and engineering feats usually reserved for aerospace of military efforts. The book really describes how the design concept responded to the realities of the program and the construction procedures and how Foster's office and others staged the monumental task of getting the building completed. Everyone involved claimed that it was the project they had been training for their entire career.

Possibly the greatest work of art by the famous British Architect Sir Norman Foster, this review takes you step by step through the entire process of design, planning, and construction. At it's time the most expensive building on earth, Williams' book is a tour-de-force and should be a must read for every budding young architect. Seek it out and buy one now if you can (I bought 5 copies to give to my friends)

The exciting tale of the Norman Conquest of 1066 is once more brought back to life. This book begins where "Gildenford" by Valerie Anand, an incredible author, left off. It is just as engrossing as her first novel in this trilogy.

The story begins with Harold's eventual rise to fame, glory, and finally, later on, tragedy. Ringed with a traitor and a brother for friends, who needs enemies, right? Well, Brand Woodcutter, from the first novel ends up being one of Harold's staunchest friends, while his brother Tostig becomes the greatest betrayer of all. Then, we have Duke William of Normandy, who has his sights on the crown of England at any and all costs.

From history, we know that William succeeds, but the circumstances and events that lead up to it were incredible to believe, but true nonetheless. This is an extraordinary adventure into what life must have been like for these amazing figures from the past that still haunt the present day. If you enjoy this historical period you won't want to miss reading the first of the trilogy, "Gildenford" followed by this book "The Norman Pretender," and ending with "The Disputed Crown." Sadly, yes, they are all out-of-print, but very well worth finding!

Though the title refers to William of Normandy, this book revolves around Harold of England. The author really brings the characters to life and also creates some fictional ones as well. This is an easy-to-read, in-depth book that anyone would enjoy.

Organized crime doesn't occur in Canada; that's the perception I held until I read this book. Roberts and Snider opened my eyes to a different view.

Through the one-of-a-kind experiences of Cal Broeker, the writers demonstrate that the cancerous and adaptive Canuck underworld, with its global connections, is as gripping to read about as it would be fearsome to experience.

Collaboratively written by Paul William Roberts and Norman Snider, Smokescreen: One Man Against The Underworld is the true story Carl Broeker, an ordinary businessman who was betrayed by his partner and forced to confront a deadly, blacklist world of organized crime and illicit trafficking. Drawn into undercover work with the Secret Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Broeker found himself caught up in a deadly thrill ride of lies, deceits, crime in this compelling biographical narrative of international crime lords, illegal smuggling operations, and political corruption. Smokescreen strips away the subterfuge and lays bare the heretofore murky underworld or organized crime on both sides of the Canadian/American border.

I am looking for a cd rom of thisbook, may be you can tell me if this cd exists? if yes how can I get it?

As a woman who has had a history of difficult pregnancies (including unexplained fetal demises), Williams Obstretrics was indispensable to me in my search for the causes of my missed abortions (late miscarriages). Many doctors feel the less patients know from firsthand sources (such as this book), the better it is. But for me, Williams Obstretrics answered many questions not only regarding my losses but also in my uncomplicated pregnancies. OBGYNs don't need to be told about this book; they swear by it. I think their patients should too.

Everybody is familiar with Norman Rockwell's paintings holding up a mirror to Middle America so it is not surprising that plenty of companies used his work to sell their products. This large, well designed and printed book has over two hundred color images of his commercial work. Each company has their logo and a brief history to accompany the paintings.

Norman was not responsible for how his work was used in the ads so his efforts on occaision get ruined by messy design, just have a look at the 1936 Cream of Kentucky bourbon ad on page 47. Generally though the advertisers wisely let his paintings do the job they paid him for.

The most surprising work to me were his paintings of children used on Kellogg's Corn Flakes boxes in the mid-fifties, they even carried his signature. I wonder how much a good condition box is worth now?

This is most likely the only book of his commercial work available so it worth adding to your Rockwell library.

This book is, quite simply, a fabulous trilogy of novels. It deals, of course, with the two-year voyage of HMS Bounty from England to Tahiti, the captaincy of Captain William Bligh, the mutiny against him, and the aftermath. This is an unforgettable story, beautifully told, well-written, and fast-paced.

I have read reviews here and there that claim this book is written at a "young adult" level. Not so. This is a complex story that only seems to be easily told because the author has mastered the ability to write with utter clarity, and without sacrificing style. As one who reads all day for a living (attorney) I have learned to appreciate authors who can write well. Nordhoff does this--the reader never loses the storyline because it is well told. The novels proceed with the precision of a laser beam but with a poetic, wistful, thoughtful tone that is a delight to read. This book has class.

The story of the trip to Tahiti and the mutiny which takes place early on the return voyage are wonderfully told. The ONLY possible criticism is that this story is not terribly true to the facts of the actual mutiny. The protagonist, Roger Byam, is an imaginary person. By the way, this novel is the source for the first of the Mutiny on the Bounty movies starring Charles Laughton.

The other two novels in the trilogy deal with the voyage by Captain Bligh and those of the crew who remained loyal to him, and the aftermath of the mutiny when the mutineers settle on Pitcairn Island. Both stories are first-rate.

Persons interested in a somewhat more accurate depiction of what happened on the Bounty voyage, as well as a ripping good movie, will want to see "The Bounty" starring Mel Gibson (Fletcher Christian) and Anthony Hopkins (Captain Bligh).

The Bounty Trilogy is a book anyone who enjoys adventure will want to read and own.

I read these stories while at sea on a British research vessel. If you've ever been to sea, or have ever wanted to, you'll probably enjoy reading this trilogy. Nordhoff and Hall write in plain, unelaborate English, so the phrasing never gets in the way, and you can concentrate on all the colorful characters and incredible events. The first two (and half of the third) books are written in first person, putting you right into the action and events, making you think about what you would do in the situations as they arise.

This trilogy has it all: adventure, drama, comedy, history, life at sea, love and loss. It's hard to believe this all really happened. I've given this book to two of my friends already, and they both liked it. You'll probably like it, too.

I give my highest praise to these books. They are far better than current "adventure" stories because of the struggles they had to endure. I found all three books in the trilogy to be excellent (Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea, and Pitcairns Island). My favorite one was Pitcairns Island. In all the books I have ever read, this is the first book that ever actually sent a chill up my spine. I won't give the story away, but you will not believe what happens in that book. It's absolutely thrilling and fascinating!
