Schnackenburg's commentary on John (this is Vol. 1 of 3 volumes) is an excellent text for mining the depths of this gospel. It belongs in the library of anyone serious about the Johannine text along with Raymond Brown's two-volume commentary. Indispensible for serious study

This commentary by C.K. Barrett is much more thorough than any of the other commentaries I have read by him. It does not appear to be in a series being confined by the thoughts of the editors. The first 146 pages are devoted to background information. He seems to do the best job of any writer I have read on John. In John 1:1 he addresses the word "logos" better than any writer I have read. The book is 638 pages. In those pages Barrett gets to the point without a lot of fluff.

The Guards This books has some the best photography of the Guards both Calvary and Foot. Some great anecdotes on life as a member of the finest fighting force and traditions of the British Army. Also humor and the antics Guardsman have got up to during Ceremonial Duties. Such as the Guardsman who put an alarm clock in his bearskin, set to go off at the exact time Her Majesty was to ride by during the inspection part Birthday Parade or Tropping the Colour. There are stories and pictures of the Guards on duty in Northern Ireland, Belize and West Germany. This dispells the story that the Guards are just Toy Soldiers. A great book and truely beautifully photographed.

Brock Kincaid was home and the last thing he expects is to find himself staring into a set of eyes that look hauntingly familiar...the eyes of a son he never knew he had. Is he too late to build a relationship with his son? Abby Watson wants nothing to do with the man who murdered her brother, left her pregnant and broke her heart. But how can she deny a father's right to know his son? Brock and Abby have to work to overcome the past, live through the present and possibly find a future together. Cheryl St. John is known for her tender, poignant stories that touch readers' hearts, but she's outdone even herself with The Gunslinger's Bride, a tender story about letting go and loving.

This is one of Gorey's best stories, about the sad life of a sickeningly sweet orphan. Some people might prefer "The Gashlycrumb Tinies", but I think "The Hapless Child" is superior. This book is the epitome of Gorey's weird style, a parody of Victorian fiction, and always funny in a gruesome way, or gruesome in a funny way, depending on how you look at it. "The Hapless Child" is also collected in the first "Amphigorey" collection, but any serious collector of Goriana will have to own this edition as well.

Interesting, well-developed characters combine with a stirring plot to create a sweet, memorable romance. Jakob and Lydia find an enduring love despite their different backgrounds, strengthened by their faith in God and family.

I enjoyed this book, and so will you.

Sasse is important not only because he is a famous Lutheran theologian who was around during Nazi Germany. More important, as this book demonstrates, the residual influence this man had upon his students and their students with the adapt theology of this great Christian.

Sasse was such an astute man of the history of the Christian church, and at the same time, an excellent exegete. His thought process is profound and succinct. Almost at times like the apostle John, appearing simple in sentence structure and vocabulary, yet profound when you begin to unpack each word with its depth and richness of meaning.

In this volume are the speeches of the Sasse conference by his students, i.e. Nagel, Feuerhahan, Kleinig, Marquart, Hardt. Also, other contributors influenced by Sasse contribute to this volume.

The contents are rich and vibrant with the substance of theology. Besides commentary of Sasse's life and writings, articles include: his relationship with the Third Reich, on worship, the confessing apostolic and catholic church, his reaction and interaction with Barth and natural theology, the mystery of sacred scripture, and his relationship with Rome.

From Sasse's own words come this admonition to the church: "When does the church exert its greatest influence in the world? When it is the church, wholly church and nothing else! When it brings its message which is alien to this world, to a world which wants to know nothing of it."

WOW- THis Troy & Genie Nilsson couple makes great kids music! I love it too! I'm going to get some more of it.

In "Hispanic Scientists," Jetty St. John has written short biographies of 5 fascinating individuals: biomedical engineer Carlos A. Ramirez, astronaut and optics expert Ellen Ochoa, zoopharmacognosy pioneer Eloy Rodriguez, neurology researcher Lydia Villa-Komaroff, and botanist Maria Elena Zavala.

St. John offers insights into both the lives and work of these scientists. The book contains many photographs, as well as a useful glossary and other resources.

If your child seems to be fascinated by dirt, bugs, cloud formations, body secretions, or other natural phenomena, she just might be exhibiting the beginnings of scientific curiosity. And "Hispanic Scientists" may inspire her, regardless of her own ethnic background, to take that curiosity to some amazing places.

The author supposes that signals come in from Mars. Your job is to figure out what they mean. By supposing that they might be numbers, she introduces you to different counting systems that have been used on earth. (Mayan, Egyptian, Greek and Arabic among others) By the way, Martians count in Base-4. Does that mean they have four fingers?
