A write worthy of his hero, and vice-versa.
Whatever you do, do not read the ending first. I found the wait almost unbearable, but very much worth it. And if you possibly can, read parts I and II first! I first read the book at a gulp, in one night, without breathing, gripped by the story as if by an iron vice. I read it again next day, more slowly, sitting down now and then in the middle of the page to enjoy the landscape. Our hero from the parts I and II has grown more powerful and therefore more tormented, and quite grim. His destiny - what a destiny! - he bears without even thinking of whining, only exploding a little now and then. We never really knew him, before. He is great. And the story is worthy of him.

Best Triology I ever read
This is the final chapter is the series (Winter of The World), and what a way to finish. On the front cover of the book, there is a quote that "the pages turn as if by magic". I have to agree. You just can't leave this book down. M.S. Rohan carries you to another time, another world, a place full of magic, honour, pain and joy. If you haven't read all three books, then stop reading this and start reading them.

Excellent book for everyone ....
This review is for the book: Living Heart Diet
by Dr. William Debakey, et al.

This is an excellent book for those who have had heart problems and for those who do not want to develop heart problems. Poor diet (high fat/cholesterol) is one of the main risk factors for heart disease -- excess cholesterol lays a foundation of plaque in your arteries that can eventually cause heart attacks and/or necessitate heart surgery. This book was developed to help us all eat right and help avoide disease. This book contains recipes, education about heart disease, and nutrition and sodium tables for most of the foods you eat. This is an excellent resource! Use it in good health!

Most complete book on the subject.
I'm a diabetic and recently had a quadruple bypass. After being introduced to this book, I devoured it and now live it.


Power Religion: The Selling Out of the Evangelical Church?
Published in Paperback by Moody Publishers (1997)
Authors: Charles W. Colson, J. I. Packer, R. C. Sproul, Alister McGrath, and Michael Scott Horton
Amazon base price: $14.99
Used price: $3.50
Average review score:

Should be required reading for all church leaders.
Many of the issues up for discussion are simply based upon the age-old debate between, semi-Pelagianism and Augustinianism. However the contributers adroitly cut through the flesh and get at the heart of contemporary church issues. This debate is not over a matter of style.But rather it accurately raises the concern as to what constitutes true Christian religion. If some of the points that are raised are indeed correct, one would have to wonder if authentic Christian faith even exists within much of the current church milieu. These articles should not be treated lightly but rather with fear and trembling.

Fantastic
This is a fantastic book, covering clearly many aspects which challenge and threaten the church and the truth of the gospel.

Power/Holiness/Evangelism: Rediscovering God's Purity, Power
I purchased this book as a second thought, and found out I got more than I bargained for. The level of expertise and experience with God impressed me initially, but it was the depth of each topic presented by each of the authors that shocked me. When dealing with God and spiritual subjects in books, there are so many approaches, and many that are really weird, but in this book the contributing authors do much to show by scriptures and experience the reality of the need for the church to be seeking God's power, holiness, and evangelistic outreach to the human race. This is not a book of testimonies alone, but scriptures and the reality of the topics listed in the title. Another book that assisted me in certain sections of this book was I Give You Authority by Charles Kraft. Though much different in subject, it assisted me in understanding some things that are occurring in the South American churches. I highly recommend this book for one's bookself, not only for reading, but as a text book for what is happening in Christianity today.

Unity and Passion for God
The chapters are written by individuals from various backgrounds who are sensing the Holy Spirit drawing them into a closer relationship with God. This purity of heart has been documented in past and present revivals around the world.

Very well rounded and informative!
I teach a class for the University of California in their Web/IP Engineering program. I use this book as one of my texts because it's cross-platform and it has enough technical detail to really explain the complex art of optimizing a site. It's 1999 but the book is still relevant!

my web site has never ran faster
this book really helped me a lot with setting up my personal and company web sites. read this book, it will make your day!

The West is the Best
For any Rifter, this is the must have of the collection. With details of the Pecos Riders and other such empires, the information alone is worth it. But there is also more character classes, weapons and gear than one can shake a stick at. The best part of the sourcebook it that it'll help recall some of the best (and worst) westerns you've seen and BAM instant adventures.

Very good for Old West fans or people who like to use TW's
This book is great. I suggest the preacher, which is good for interesting play. For psychic players, there is a psi-slinger and it is great. The best list for the best TW weapons I have ever seen.

A hilarious book satirizing "The Clinton Years"
Jim Wrenn, author of the Clinton Liebrary Book 2001 Edition at clintonliebrarybook.com gives a rave review to SNL Presents The Clinton Years: "I laughed so hard my throat hurt. It will be banned from all public libraries because no one will be able to read it without laughing out loud. The book presents color pictures and text from SNL skits (about Clinton) in such a way as to elicit just as much laughter as watching the skit on Saturday Night Live."

sdfgh
this is hilarious. I laughed the entire time i read the book.

Jurassic Park Adventures One Book
Jurassic Park Adventures One Book Review

Jurassic Park Adventures One is a book about a kid named Eric Kirby who has to get to a test safe house to escape dinosaurs on an island. When he tries to get out of the test house, he can't. Some people have to save him. Their plane crashes in the rescue. If you like dinosaurs, this is the book for you. The stars of the book are Spinosaurus, T- Rex & Raptor. Eric makes friends with an Iguanadon & names it Iggy. Eric is a hero. He goes out to save a man, but does not know who he is.


By James

A thrilling book inspired by the upcoming movie.
All thirteen-year-old Eric Kirby wanted was a chance to get to see real, live dinosaurs up close. So when his mom's boyfriend, Ben, offered him the opportunity, he jumped at the chance. Eric and Ben will get to parasail over the Jurassic Park Island, observing the dinosaurs from a safe distance. But something goes very wrong, and the two fall from the sky onto the island. Only Eric survives the fall, and he is trapped in a hostile prehistoric environment where he is the prey. It will take all of his wits and courage to stay alive until help arrives - but how can one kid survive among the deadliest predators ever to walk the earth? This was a thrilling story, not only for fans of the movies, but for readers who like adventure stories. The book ended with a cliffhanger that will lead into the new Jurassic Park movie, so now I have to wait until the movie comes out to find out what happens to Eric, which won't be for a whole month, or read the novelization. Still, this was an exciting, although short, book.

EXCELLENT RESCUER
During my internship this book and the Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics were the 2 books I couldn't live without.They give you quick information to solve almost any problem.

AN EXCELLENT MANUAL
If you need quick information, or to reforce your knowledge in the Emergency Room, this manual could help to solve almost any problem. This is not a text book, is a reference where you can find a quick answer.

Indispensible Resource
This is an indispensible resource for beginning through advanced FDC collectors. There are values listed for all Scott numbers for FDC or EKU (earliest known use) covers. For modern issues, valuations are provided for singles, blocks, plate blocks, and FDC ceremony programs. Complete coverage is also provided for back-of-the-book issues, postal stationery, plate number coils, presidential inauguration and related covers, and World War II patriotic covers. A cachet calculator helps in determining values for individual cachetmakers. Many first cachets are illustrated. My only suggestion for future editions would be to include more illustrations of cachets and fewer illustrations of stamps, which are readily available through other sources.
