At last, here is a book that presents the quirky and all-too-human side of Methodist history. You'll meet a wide array of ministerial giants -- from Francis Asbury, the tireless itinerant bishop roundly acknowledged to be the father of American Methodism...to "Crazy" Dow, an evangelist with as many idiosyncracies as a "Northern Exposure" character. This is not dry historical reading by any stretch. A must-read for any student of Methodism or mainstream religion in general, this is a colorful window into one of the most influential religious organizations in the world.

Save your money. This is one of the worst books that I have purchased and wasted my time reading. While very easy reading, this adds nothing to the investigation of the Simpson and Goldman killings.

The author made a list of 101 different scenarios and copied the theory, conspiracy or theory from the one before. Don't waste your time or your money.

This author gives in complete detail many theories to the OJ murders.Details that maybe many haven't thought of or have forgotten.Extremely well written book. I would recommend this book to all who have an interest in the OJ murder case.

" FOCUS " is a neat little book co-authored by Larry Mize, Loren Roberts and Scott Simpson. Each golfer gives the reader an idea of how to play better golf with simple tips on thier area of expertise. Mize on the Driver/Fairway woods, Simpson on Irons and Roberts on the Short game.The tips are very basic but handy. They will help even the highest of handicaps. But along with the swing advise each one lets you know how became a christian and how their faith helps them on and off the golf course. I think the book would have been much better if they included more on their faith and how they deal with other players on the tour. The book is short and a very quick read.But it is enjoyable. It will make a good gift.

For OJ to be guilty, you must believe that he quickly disposed of the bloody clothes, shoes, and knives so they would NEVER be found, yet brought the socks and glove back to his home! And then smeared blood all over the console!

The coroner who did the autopsies testified "the forensic evidence says the murders occurred after 11PM". The limousine driver testified he brought OJ to the airport at that time. When you read this book, note how they avoid discussing these facts.

"This is a work of fiction that reads like nonfiction."

No more need be said.

The Prologue tells about the Bill of Rights, and the duty of a defense lawyer to represent his client. RLS politely tries to educate the willfully ignorant about law and reality. The corporate media should be blamed for its misinformation. The death of a spouse focuses suspicion on a surviving spouse, especially if they were alone and have no alibi. An accusation is enough to destroy a life. This very readable book lacks an index and table of contents; it is not a good reference.

Chapter One tells why RLS has to know if his client committed the crime, else the prosecutor has an advantage. He asked OJ Simpson if he did it: "I did not do this" (p.10). Once the justice system locks in, innocence has nothing to do with the outcome of a case! Against OJ were 45 deputy district attorneys, the resources of the LAPD, and the assistance of the Chicago PD, the FBI, and Interpol. There was never any consideration of a plea bargain by anyone (p.13). Chapter Two tells of his recruitment of the experts. If a detective's job becomes "getting the guy", then that is improper and foolish. In a rush to judgment evidence is overlooked or mishandled, and procedural and investigative mistakes are made. They would let OJ take a lie detector test if the results would be admitted to court; Marcia Clark refused this (pp.26-7). This test creates charts that can be interpreted in different ways, and challenged on the basis of wrong questions framed the wrong way!

The murderer had to hav some bodily injury from this violent struggle. RLS had OJ's physical condition recorded immediately. There was an unprecedented swarm of reporters on this case (p.35). Why was it played up so much by the corporate media? Pages 60-62 explain why the grand jury was dismissed and a preliminary hearing was obtained. Pages 70-72 tell of the problems where four detectives left the Bundy crime scene to travel to Rockingham. The more important the evidence is to the prosecution, the lower the constitutional standard (p.86)! The judge is part of the prosecution team, usually a former prosecutor (p.109). The forensic criteria puts the deaths after 11PM (p.91). Mark Fuhrman was the key detective in the all-important first hours, but his name never appeared in the reports (p.93). Crime laboratories are exempt from regulation and review (p.149), that's why the defense wanted the evidence checked by their experts. The polling as to OJ's guilt was not based on what you knew, but on who your parents were (p.192)! Pages 218-9 summarizes RLS' dispute with F Lee Bailey. The gloves didn't fit because they didn't belong to OJ (p.295). Hair examinations have never been recognized as a positive means of identification (p.302).

EDTA is used to preserve blood samples (p.313). If EDTA is found in blood evidence, then it was planted as real evidence on those socks and the back gate. In August 1995 the McKinney tapes were turned over to the defense. who tried to get them into court. Page 318 suggests to me that the substitute for the coroner committed prosecutorial perjury: submitting opinions for fact. Page 319 tells how Marcia Clark tried to protect a prosecutorial witness from his perjury, then tried to replace the judge! RLS was "stunned" by the speed of the verdict, but isn't that usual when they don't believe the prosecution's case? RLS tells of the errors in the prosecution's case, and why the "mountain of evidence" collapsed (p.352-4). Could the anti-defense attitude in the press corps (p.357) be explained by the policy of the National Association of Editors & Publishers or the corporate media owners? That's a bigger problem than in just one criminal case.

it is so tight so buy it kk

This is a children's book, not a "look behind the creation of the series." Do not buy this book for anyone over 10. This is the bad part about buying from Amazon. Not only is this a kid's book, but it is a BAD kids book. It resembles, in every characteristic, a bagain bin/dollar store overstock. As a matter of fact, if you are interested in it at all, please look in those outlets before shelling out $21 (shipping included) to Amazon. John Starr
