This book not only reminds us to meditate on the keys and codes of nature and our mother earth, it gives us guidance and insight into how we can embark on this journey ourselves.

I have also read Norma's book "we the Arcturians" & this book is also another prescious jewel but this is another review in itself. I highly highly recommend it.

We'll be embarking on our own journey to Atlantis on 18 December 1999 thanks to Norma, Jean & all the light beings who have created this book.

This is part of a series of short profiles of successful black Americans, intended to inspire success in young people of all backgrounds. Lutz chronicles J.C.'s childhood, poor in money but rich in love, with a Baptist minister dad and devoted mom who instilled in him solid family and civic values. He made mistakes, including fathering a child out of wedlock while in high school (a child adopted and lovingly raised by relatives), and as a teenager, valued sports above all else. After reaching the University of Oklahoma on a football scholarship, he was redshirted, taking the opportunity to become more devoted to his academic studies. Then he earned the starting quarterback position for two Big Eight champion Sooners teams before a stint in the Canadian Football League. Very intelligent with a natural talent for leadership and public speaking, he carried the values of teamwork, patience and delayed gratification learned in football into life after sports. Lutz details J.C.'s accomplishments as an ordained Baptist minister, Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner, U.S. Congressman, and most importantly, devoted husband and dad for his wife Frankie and their seven kids. The book tells of adulthood hardships which J.C. overcame too, such as near bankruptcy in the oil industry, the unexpected death of a beloved head minister and mentor at his church in Oklahoma City, and unfair, race-baiting political attacks against him by a Democrat in a campaign.

Watts is a strong, independent thinker, not anyone's tool or puppet; and that is very well portrayed in this biography. He became a Republican because of his strong sense of traditional family values and right versus wrong, inciting vitriol from Democrats who mindlessly take for granted the "birthright" that blacks join their party. In Congress, he pushed for more careful examination of alternatives to "affirmative action" before eliminating it altogether, angering (but ultimately winning respect from) many fellow Republicans.

This book is organized in a straightforward, chronological manner, and is written in a plain but pleasant style. As such, it is ideally suited for junior high and high school age readers; but adults wanting to learn more about J.C. will find this an interesting, fact-filled little summary of his life (through 1999). The volume is a great resource for book reports and biographical school assignments in either literature or political science classes. There are a few factual errors in the book, primarily related to football. For example, Lutz refers to the Florida State "Gators" (actually, Seminoles), who lost to J.C.'s OU teams in consecutive Orange Bowls in the early 1980s. That sort of sloppiness is not very common in this book, but will annoy readers who are sports fans. However, they don't detract from the overwhelming message of J.C.'s life as told through these pages: A poor black kid from Eufaula, Oklahoma, overcomes a harsh series of economic, racial, athletic and political obstacles to success, through his devotion to God, family, hard work and personal responsibility. It is an inspirational story of a winner in sports and life, one conveyed very clearly and fairly by the writer.

So, if I like this book so much and love the cover, why have I only given it four stars instead of five? Well, I feel that the author fell short of presenting, of what could have been, one of the most important books of our time. She is knowledgeable enough to discuss "apokatastasis" in her book, which indeed offers evidence of animals and all of creation being eventually being restored, however, I feel she has greatly missed the full understanding of this teaching, as she seems to hold a more traditional view of hell, by stating it is eternal. Of course hell can not be eternal if, as scripture says, it will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. Such an oversight is, to me, unfortunate.

Jean Holmes, like myself, has spent a lot of time researching the original Hebrew words of various texts involving animals, I just wish she had done the same for the Greek word "aion", and other Greek words, which are mistakenly translated in English as "Eternal" and not as a "Period of Time", as they should truly be rendered... and perhaps she could have seen the truth of "apokatastasis". Of course if those reading this review also believe in eternal hell and are animal lovers as well, then I am sure that "Do Dogs Go To Heaven?" will be a five star book to them....
