a childhood favorite
I was given this book when i was very young, and learned how to read from this book. i still have it; it is worn from years of reading it. And to this day when i want to feel like a kid again, i pick it up and read. it will always be a favorite, and I plan on reading it to my children when i am older.

A Daughter's Grateful Comment
My father wrote this book when I was very young and it is just gratifing to know that other people enjoyed it as much as I did growing up. A friend of mine saw a copy in my house and then told me that it was her favortie book as a child. Its nice to know that people love this book. We appreaciate your comments very much. Thank you, Celia Gorman.

my favourite childhood book
I'm 16 years old now but when I was little my father read "Maia" to me every single day. It is one of my all time favourite books. It's perfect for any kid who loves dinosaurs, just like I did. The pictures are great and the story is wonderful. I still have my copy and keep it in my room so it's always nearby for whenever I want to read it again.


Suzuki Samurai & Sidekick Geo Tracker 1986 Thru 1996: All Models (Haynes Automotive Repair Manual Series)
Published in Paperback by Haynes Publishing (1997)
Authors: Bob Henderson and John Harold Haynes
Amazon base price: $18.95
Average review score:

Very good book.
Mostly oriented for the Suzuki Samurai, this book covers almost everything about the Samurai Machenics, and explains it on simply and easy way to follow.

Great on motor poor on the rest of drivetrain
The manual goes into the motor well. It is easy to follow. The photos are pretty poor though. It really lacks information on tranfer cases and differentials. if you are only going to remove the components and replace them it is fine, but thats is far as it goes.

Incomparable Scenery: Comparative Views in the White Mountains
Published in Paperback by Glen-Bartlett Publishing Company (15 August, 1999)
Author: John J. Henderson
Amazon base price: $11.95
Average review score:

Simply Beautiful
These paintings truly capture the beauty of the White Mountains and "Incomparable Scenery" does an amazing job of presenting these works. The quality of the images of paintings is excellent. I love being able to compare different artists' rendering of similar scenes/views/ranges. Highly recommend for those interested in New England scenery.

A must for White Mountian Art Enthusiasts
This book of 25 paintings from the 19th century of New Hampshire's White Mountains is unique in how it compares two or more paintings of the same exact scene by different artists side by side. It shows all the popular NH scenery "icons" in well reproduced color. Also includes a very nice biography of the artists complemented by rare photographs of the artists themselves. It includes prominent as well as lesser known artists of the period. This is a must have book for anyone interested in White Mountain Art, White Mountain scenery, or the Hudson River School artists. Very well done, and great images!!

Getting to the Heart of Class Meetings
Henderson gives us the finest book on the theological and practical underpinnings for this institution that became to hallmark of early Methodism. Church leaders and scholars often point to the Wesleyan class meeting as the best model for how small group discipleship can be done. But, almost as often, key points of Wesley's purpose and method are overlooked (or ignored), causing people in the church to miss some of the most significant elements of genius in what Wesley put into practice.

D. Michael Henderson's book is about going back to the roots of the class meeting in order to genuinely understand what the early Methodists were doing and why. This book would be of particular use to those interested in contemporary small group ministry -- or those with an interest in Wesley or early Methodism.

Superb. This book gets my highest recommendation.

Excellent explanation of John Wesley's use of small groups.
Henderson's book gives real insight as to how John Wesley used small groups and community groups in giving England and the world back to their Creator. Must read for pastors and church workers.

The News About Dinosaurs
This book is about dinosaurs. I learned that Tranasauraus Rex ate meat. To learn all about Dinosaurs read this book.

THE NEWS ABOUT DINOSAURS
Well illustrated by the top dinosaur artists -- Douglas Henderson, Greg Paul, Mark Hallett, John Gurche, and others -- and quite up-to-date with the latest information, this nicely organized book looks over "what we knew then" and "what we know now." Every young dinosaurophile has to have it


Off Base: Confessions of a Thief

Great Book for Rickey Fans
This book is a must for all Rickey fans. Henderson holds little back in his autobiography. He's a touch arrogant, but he's earned that right; with the single season set (and likely not to be broken in today's baseball) and the career mark out of reach. If you like Rickey, then you'll like this book.

The best ever.
This book simply shows how good Rickey Henderson is, both on the field and off. He takes you behind the scenes of his 20 year career in the major leagues and what it took for him to get there. From the early little league games in Oakland to his 939th Stolen Base...Rickey Henderson is truly a living legend in what he does....BEING THE GREATEST LEADOFF HITTER OF ALL TIME!!

Superb!
This innovative and deliciously illustrated guide to the arts of Greece and Rome is composed in a light-hearted, humorous vein and provides as much entertainment as artistic edification. Furthermore, its unique exploration of Greek art through the prism of Roman culture offers a refreshing new perspective on the development of the wildly influential high classicism of the empire. In short, a delightful and beautiful book.

Concise, entertaining, informative and surprising
Beard and Henderson use as their primary focus - the temple at Bassae - to introduce the wide world of Classics and classical inquiry to the reader. It's a fascinating and enjoyable read. The use of Bassae as the focus of the introduction lends the text a cohesiveness that is so often lacking in introductory Classical works. They show how the discovery of the temple leads one to questions about history, Greek societal structure, morality, Greek cultural norms, the relation of Romans to Greeks (and Egyptians to Greeks), etc. Very very good book. Highly recommended.

A moving account
This book is a moving and knowledgeable report from the outside of medicine looking in -- from the patients' point of view. We learn what goes through the minds of people experiencing terrible illness, in themselves or in family members. This is not television, where heroic doctors do their best and everyone lives happily ever after. While there's some demystification of hospital protocals and procedures (comforting for anyone facing a traumatic situation), the heart and soul of the book is about the mystic relationship between faith and healing, between hope and prayer. Ms. Henderson lived these people's stories, and it shows in the carefully detailed, deeply personal accounts. The sentiment is real, never maudlin, and the heroes here are the people who persevere in the face of a terrible enemy with only the simplest of weapons -- a belief that God exists, and will hear their heartfelt prayers.

it's so heart touching"""
THIS BOOK IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME, I MUST TELL YOU I CANT READ IT WITH OUT CRYING, I HAVE YET TO DO SO. I WANT TO TELL YOU IM SO THANKFUL I COULD ORDER THIS BOOK ON ...(THE WEBSITE) AND SHARE IT WITH MY CHILDREN AND READ IT WITH MY HUSBAND.I ORDERED 2 COPIES AND GIVE THEM TO MY DAUGHTERS. IM SO THANKFUL TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THIS BOOK WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS CHAPTER 8 IN THIS BOOK CALLED HERE IS MY HOPE"" WE LIVED THIS CHAPTER''I HOPE MANY MORE PEOPLE PURCHASE THIS BOOK. NOT FOR OUR GAIN, BUT FOR THE BLESSINGS THEY WILL RECEIVE THRU THIS BOOK. IM SURE IT WILL BE HEART TOUCHING TO THEM ALSO. SINCERELY MRS. PATRICIA FOXWELL.

Wonderful book
Wonderfully written and researched, Here is My Hope takes you into the lives of several families who have been forced to deal with the reality of a loved one with a serious illness. This widely diverse group of people all had one thing in common--they found comfort and hope in the striking Jesus statue in the rotunda of the hospital.

Henderson does an outstanding job of taking you inside the lives and minds of the people in her stories. She takes you right along with them on their emotional journies through the hospital. This book will have you laughing and crying through the pages. Once you get started, you cannot put it down.
