This book came to me in a dream a couple of years ago. I saw the book laying on the forest floor while hiking in my dream. I looked down at this book, and it said The boy who saw true, and on the cover was this young boy with this women and man in the background. Well two years later I typed the title in the search engines on the internet, and the boy who saw true pop up. More amazing was the front cover just like my dream. So to me, this is a very magical book. The book is about a very kind boy which is very rare in this world, who has supernatural abilities. I believe those that read this book, and who have lost a love one will fill asure that they are doing just fine back home. I discover something in this book that seems all too familiar, it is that everyone I know who has this ability or ones like it, are all very good hearted people. And it seems to me that all these good hearted people would'nt lie about these happenings.

Cyril Scott is the author of this unique metaphysical tale told through his own eyes from when he was a child. The language and style make it a period piece from the time when Spiritualism was at its height in Great Britain. A very charming book, and certainly one not to pass up on any account.

It's the best book i've ever read about neurology. No doubt if you are interested in this topic. It has a very dinamic vocabulary and easy understanding. Also i want to say that this doctor is very important in Argentina. I recomend this book!

I am a layman without any knowledge of the dynamics of the brain. I just couldn't put the book down. It was slow reading but well worth it. I look at life in a very different way.

I love this book. This is the quintessential Brandy book. Her pal, Karu Daniels, really did a good job in delivering the goods on one of my most favorite celebrities. This book is packed with photos, nice color ones. The title says it all, it's really intimate. The book has it all: her early beginnings in McComb, Mississippi, a very revealing chapter of her mother (who we hear is not so nice), a chapter on her fine little brother Ray-J (He's so cute), a chapter about Moesha, and tons of useful facts about her music, movies and fun facts.

Karu Daniels did a fabulous job researching and writing this book--you can really tell that he is friends with the diva and not just another writing doing a hack job! Great pix too! If you want the inside scoop on "Moesha" and her music, this is the book to get. Loved it!

Fr. Daniel Berrigan,poet, Jesuit priest,witness and confessor,has used his considerable poetic gifts in union with Fr. William Hart McNicholas,a renonwned iconagraper.There subjects are varied,to say the least:Padre Pio, Maura O'Halloran,{a Irish American Zen monk Saint},Adreine von speyer,a mystic {closely associated with the former jesuit and theologian du jour, Hans urs von Balthazar},a new Russian Martyr,St. Benedict Joseph Labre and others. What beautiful Icons!Lovely prose-poems accompany each icon,making it quite a useful meditative tool.

Dan Berrigan and william Mcnichols have combined thier gifts to bring about this gift . Fr. Mcnichols is a renowned writer of Icons, Fr Daniel Berrigan, poet, prophet priest{though that sounds too easy}. With this eclectic choice of icons{a Zen nun from ireland, a female physician mystic from Europe}, and the poetic text of Fr. Berrigan, this is an excellent meditative tool,lovely to look at,pleasant to hold.Well done by the publisher as well.Another book of awe from one of the sanest men of the 20th century

In response to the previous review:

This book was originally written in Dutch and first published in Amsterdam in 1678 - most texts refer to him as a French surgeon, as he originally came in contact with the buccaneers as a result of his 1666 journey to tortuga with the French West India Company. His name is spelled Alexander Exquemelin....

The events of the book cross reference fairly well with Spanish historical documents - most errors are in place names and dates, according to David Cordingly (british historian, and expert on all things pirate).

No one knows for sure the spelling of the man's name of his nationality, but in 1684 Alexander Esquemeling published in London a powerful, some say mendacious, personal reminiscence of Henry Morgan and other pirates. Histerical at times, this work brilliantly recreates Morgan's most memorable, indeed incredible adventures. A must read for anyone wishing to capture an authentic view of the Carribean during the period of pirates and the battles of Spanish main.

Mr John Cotter and Group have written a wonderful book. If you are into "digging up the past" this is the material you've been looking. Just the wonderful pencil sketchs of the long past "Slate Roof House" makes this a absolute read. The digging up of the historical area and the great "finds" that were discovered. I feel any true Philadelphian will enjoy something out of this manual.

I used this book as a reference for a term paper on two African American burial grounds in Philadelphia. Contains information on major and some obscure archaeological finds in Philadelphia. History of Philadelphia as well.

This book is so enjoyable to read that you may be surprised how much you are learning and gleaning from its insights. This book has great examples of how to apply lessons to your day-to-day life. I loved Rabbi's other book, but this is great in a totally different way. It is non-political but still has a lot to say on th best way for us to organize our relationships, relate to our Maker, and become successful in our professional lives. This book made me want to meet the author and ask his advice on everything- which most 'self help' books do not usually do. I heartily recommend it.

I went to Hebrew school in the 1970s for my bar mitzvah and "learned Hebrew" -- meaning, learned how to pronounce the letters, while having absolute no idea what the words meant. This is about all the Hebrew education Reform and Conservative Jews tend to get from their temples. Later I learned to understand Hebrew well enough to read the Pentateuch. As a longtime resident of the Upper West Side, Manhattan, I heard all kinds of rabbis talk about all kinds of Jewish subjects. But I didn't REALLY begin to comprehend this amazing language till I started reading Rabbi Lapin's writings about the insights that are coded in the very structure of Hebrew grammar, spelling, etc. So when I heard he'd written a whole book about Hebrew, I was very excited. I'm a little disappointed that the book isn't more comprehensive; it's fairly short. Hopefully there'll be a second volume. But what's here is great: a variety of Hebrew words analyzed in detail, in a very accessible, charming way, that yield lots of sometimes-counterintuitive "life lessons" about everything from sex to work to deepening your relationship with God. There's no heavy grammar or vocabulary. You won't come away from the book being able to speak or read Hebrew. That's not the point. It's more like a series of fun, elegant essays about life that unfold from Lapin's incomparable command of this ancient tongue. I've read all about those "Bible code" books, that are supposed to show how information is coded in the text of the Hebrew Bible. I'm not sure about that. But the way Hebrew works -- almost like mathematics -- is enough to make you wonder if there's something supernatural going on with this language. I mean, I don't think Enlish works that way. "Buried Treasure" is a pretty accurate title for this book.

I have 2 children, ages 8 and 6 and they both enjoyed the book very much. This book is very funny, easy to read and my children spent much of the time reading the book laughing. The book is brilliantly and cleverly written and the illustrations are very enjoyable for the children to look at. My children and I highly recommend this book.

My 8 year old son Juxhino adores this book. He hopes to meet the author in person if this is possible. He would love to get his book signed by Mr Laurence, as he had a teacher at his school in England with the same name, who inspired and intriqued him with his stories of pirates. He talked about it with his learning support teacher (who was much better looking than Mr Laurence!} His best friends Rufus, Stinky and Naylor (the Mother Superior), would also like to recommend this fantastic book.

Boyarin manages to cover some very interesting Talmudic material on gender and sexuality in an intelligent and informed manner. He also has a deep understanding of cultural theory, and argues for a number of exceptionally striking theses regarding Talmuds' (deliberate plural: he contrasts the Babylonian Talmud with the Jerusalem or Land of Israel Talmud) relationships to sexuality, gender, and embodiment. HOWEVER, Boyarin's claims are so wide-ranging and fundamental that it would require the study of a great deal of additional primary textual material to really confirm them in a responsible fashion.

This books approaches in a very open way the issue of sex in the Talmud. Not an easy thing to do... Yet it manages to do so well, without excessively offending one view or another. Through its approach, it probably expores one of the earliest expressions of feminism in Judaism.

God has most assuredly given her a gift for writing. She has accomplished a masterful feat in telling Caroline's story. To be able to deal with the past, reliving the experiences and the emotions that accompanied them with such sensitivity and compassion, is indeed remarkable. The story form, the depth of her insights, and the grace with which she has chosen to reveal the truth combine to make this a book that will bless and enable others who have had similiar experiences. I fell blessed to have been given the opportunity to read her story and to experience the beautiful and deeply spiritual person God has created within her.

This is a moving adult Fairy Tale about the blending of the birth and adoptive self of Caroline. The story unfolds to learn the life and feelings of Caroline as an adopted child/person. As the story developes there is blending of Caroline as a birth child and Caroline the searcher as they become one after search and reunion. This book is a delightful writing and a work of art as the reader moves from the young Caroline to her adult self as a while person. This is a MUST read for all touched by adoption.
