Buy this book. There are no platitudes here.

I read this book straight through over about two weeks -- there's too much to think about to read it straight through -- and I underlined passages that seemed particularly meaningful or insightful. Several times I cried.

My next step is to go over the underlined parts and think about them. And then I'll read the book again, but slowly. Each chapter starts with a poem written by somebody like "us." Poetry so perfectly puts emotions into words and I found pieces of myself and my feelings over and over again.

I found out why some things have worked so well for me, things that I did intuitively. Others have done similar things. I've made some mistakes. Others have made the same mistakes. I'm uniquely myself, but so much like everyone else.

I'm very grateful to Mr. Levy. I'm very grateful that this book was waiting for me. I'm very grateful that I found it.

If you think you need "something," you do. You should definitely buy this book. You'll find no platitudes here.

Alexander captures the reader in her wonderfully written Sci-Fi Novel. I first read this book when I was 12, I loved it then and I love it now. I've recommended it to many friends who have all loved it too. If you want a book that you wont want to put down, this is the one for you!

I don't normally write reviews for books, but 2150 A.D. deserves one. From the first chapter the book grabs the attention of the reader. Without sounding preachy, it fills you in with a whole new philasophy, Alexander calls Macro Philasophy.
If everyone whould have read the book, the world would have been a much better place already.

Thea Alexander has experienced her changes and passages since the first printing of 2150 AD, along with all those who followed the Macro Philosophy expressed in her writing. From time to time, I still read the Macro Philosphy books I purchased from her group in Tempe, AZ and have used them as a springboard to higher spiritual realities. The bottom line story of Jon Lake and his follower-friends still rings true today, as it has for centuries, that is - fear is stronger than love here on Earthschool. And, those who's fear is the strongest will try the hardest to crush pure Love without ever realizing that Love in its purest form can never be eradicated -- it just calmly moves on to the next level -- as did Jon and Carol. All was perfect in Thea's book, and all is absolutely perfect here and now - it is as it should be.

The subliminal comfort of 2150 AD's message would read the same today as it did then. Read it for yourself and see !

Realmente este es uno de los mejores libros que he leído, lo considero uno de los mejores, sino es que el mejor que escribió Dumas junto con Los Tres Mosqueteros. Es una narración extraordinariamente detallada, hermosamente conjuntada y con un final totalmente sorpresivo. o creo que en esta novela, Dumas se proyecta como lo que el siempre quiso ser, un conocedor de la ciencia, un hombre infinitamente culto y sobre todo, controlador de sus emociones y calculadoramente frío. Es una lección sobre lo que es la moral de la vida, los valores y los sentimientos.

Edmund Dantes, un hombre fabulósamente rico, misterioso y exéntrico, es victima de un complot que le arroja durante 14 años a los húmedos calabozos del castillo de If. Tras evadirse, encuentra un inmenso tesoro escondido en la isla de Montecristo y prepara una venganza terrible, despiadada e inflexible como el destino, por encima de todas las leyes humanas y divinas. Es poco top el libroooo!

Este es uno de los mejores libros que he leido en mi vida... Todo en el es excelente.. Es realmente maravilloso como la forma de pensar de un hombre que se cree dichoso puede llegar hasta el fondo cuando se esta encerrado en un calabozo por tantos años y separado de lo que el considera su dicha. Edmundo conoce al Abate Faria y gracias a eso comienza a pensar diferente y cuando es libre la manera en que planea y logra llevar a cabo su venganza.. Esta historia no solo da una leccion de paciencia, sino que se puede ver de que la venganza no se realiza siempre como es planeada tal como podemos ver cuando Monte-Cristo trata de revivir al hijo de Villefort..

En resumen..... Excelente....

Father Arseny's life and teachings are truly remarkable in their depth of love, humility and wisdom. Born out of deep physical and spiritual suffering, Father Arseny's life is presented to the reader in vivid accounts by some of those who knew him best (spiritual children and fellow prisoners in the "corrective" prisons). This book is one of the few books that I would say actually changed me deeply with each reading. It sounds ridiculous, but even now, if I only look at it there on my shelf I am edified. It as if Fr. Arseny is here with me, praying for me. Perhaps some of you understand what I mean. That just one person such as himself exists in a decade is enough to witness to the power of Christ in the world.

This books is highly recommended for spiritual edification and growth.

Rarely do I find a book that is compelling from start to finish. A book that through which the Holy Spirit reaches into my very depths calling me to lay down my self-centeredness, my pride and my love of the world, to reach to something and someone so much greater. The stories of how Fr. Arseny took incredible abuse and won over the tormentors with the great love of Christ flowing through his life. A non-stop book of God's loves and miracles fully active in todays world, even at the worlds worst. Rare will be the person who can read this without having a sense of a deep inner goodness wanting to come to the surface and reach out to others. This is truly a call to all of us to allow God to bring us to His best and highest in our lives.

This book is not for sensitive nerves, but even if one enters in ones mind into the horrors of Stalin's "special camps" - camps no less cruel than Hitler's, at times worse - one cannot really grasp the pain and suffering of all the prisoners; and especially Prisoner No. 18376, better known as Father Arseny. But to many he was like Christ on earth, a true Christian in all meanings of the word. The interesting thing about this book, a zamisdat from the Soviet era, is it's two layers. On the surface the incrediable stories about the camps, the Soviet-Communist Holocaust, and beneath the Message of God and His Will. Among all these horrors the faith in God survived and persisted - The Cross' victory over indifference and atheism. Fr. Arseny didn't preach sermons on the Faith, no, he lived it and suffered it as Jesus Christ did. He lived like all true Christians should. Seing the Faith lived in the person of "a little priest", a man willing to sacrifice himself for his neighbour and seing the suffering Christ in even the worst criminals in the camps, is what gives the strongest impression and it's dimension! This impression overshadows the horrors of the Siberian camps. The last part of the book, called "Spiritual Children", can perhaps at first look dull and insignificant after the stories told earlier in the book, but don't be fooled. That's really an example of how a true saint influence both the believer, the lukewarm believer, and the unbeliever. In short, how Christian virtues by example not by words only, lead man towards salvation!

This classic is listed under the age group of four to eight, and as a Poohphile I am quite appalled that it is. Winnie the Pooh books have such wit, wisdom, and humor that gets better every time I read them. Their not just for children, they are for everyone. Over the years, Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, and Roo have become some of my dearest chums. I once heard someone say, or perhaps I read it, that "books are like dear friends, and who has too many friends?" I am quite inclined to agree with that statement. This book is a dear friend of mine and I hope that you shall make it yours. :)

This book is a really good and funny book. My fav is Piglet because he is so shy and just goes along with what ever Pooh does. I think I read this book because Pooh and all his friends are coming back in now, to prove I love pooh I have a Pooh and FriendsPencil case.

Upon looking for reading materials for my fourth grade class I stumbled upon "A House At Pooh Corner" by A.A.Milne. I leafed through it and ...fell in love with it! I have become A Pooh Fan!
As I informed my students we were going to tead Winnie The Pooh they all whined thinking that it was a "baby book". Well they were immediately charmed by A.A.Milne's beautiful language, unique style and sophisticated humor. They read the book, demanded other works by the same author and completed a project about the book. We`re even celebrating Pooh's Birthday in our classroom and have become Pooh's, Eeyore's, Tigger's, Piglet's, Rabbit's,Kanga's, Roo's ,Owl's and Cristopher Robbin's eternal fans. Do Not Miss the chance of a close encounter with the finest literature.

The book intrigues me on many levels. Not only is it beautifully written, but the writer has a great talent as a story teller. The reader doesn't just read this book, she becomes involved in it, caring what happens to Perry and the women in his life. I highly recommend this novel.

Title: Until Next Time

Until Next Time is a wicked book! I loved it! Linda Alexander bases her story on the age-old battle between good and evil. She interweaves several subplots into the primary plot to keep the reader enmeshed in the story and feeling a tight level of tension throughout the book.

There is an "Author's Acknowledgement" at the beginning of the book that states her purpose in writing this book as: "... to try and make believers of those who just can't seem to accept the truth of good versus evil. Both are just at the tips of our fingertips." She goes own to present a passage that will stand your hair on end. Before you even begin the actual story, you are already thinking of all the evil things you have ever witnessed or heard about. This is an extremely strong author's foreword and is highly effective in setting the mood for the book. It demonstrates Alexander's straight forward, in-your-face style and power in writing.

The main character is Perry Conners, a highly successful businessman with an eye on the Senate seat for the next term. He is forty-five years old, in perfect health, well-built, good looking, down-to-earth, and convinced that he is having a breakdown. He cannot get any rest and he is declining quickly. He has lost all interest in sex and does not understand why. His searches for answers result in medical and psychological testing that only confirms that there is nothing wrong.

Perry's wife, Mollie, has left, even though she still loves and desires him, and is filing for divorce. She manipulates the legal system to get a female judge, Annette Black, who is bitterly vengeful because Perry turned down her advances. Together they plot to ruin him, with the assistance of Mollie's father, a well-respected judge that will readily take up for his only child, even though he knows she is wrong.

The only three persons Perry can turn to are a new acquaintance, Michaele Vincente, a psychiatrist; his sister, Senator Barbara Satterly; and his personal assistant, Lillia. Unfortunately, Lillia has her own agenda for revenge, acquisition of Perry's fortune, and the disposal of Perry once her plan is completed. She will utilize any weapon and go to any length to see her scheme through. She is evil personified.

Perry's trust for this woman combines with his distraction by the other elements in his life to leave him wide open and vulnerable to this evil woman. Will she achieve her goals? Will he learn the truth before it is too late?

Linda Alexander has skillfully created a superb story that captivates the reader's attention and takes them on a trip through the mind of the most evil creature on this planet. She feeds you just enough information to keep you turning pages to learn more. The ending provides a satisfactory closure, while leaving an opportunity for a sequel, which I do hope to see. This is one story that is simply too marvelous to end here! Get a copy and dive into the horrors of evil today. You will never look at your neighbor the same way again!

Linda Alexander is the author of two nonfiction books, The Unpromised Land and Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard X. She has written for several magazines and has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Sally Jesse Raphael Show.

Until Next Time was filled with sexual tension and the never-ending conflict between good and evil. I never knew what was going to happen next. I not only felt for the "good guys", but the bad guy (girl) as well. A chilling ending.

Thom fleshes out American history with real characters, and an inside look at one of early America's most influential families. Although some of the Revolutionary War and Indian War sequences drag on a bit long, it was well worth the trip as a launching pad for the famed Lewis & Clark exploration. In fact, I hated to leave them as they reached the Pacific, and would like to see how they faced those same challenges on the journey home. It paints a less than flattering picture of our nation's early history, while at the same time celebrating the bravery of those who made it happen. Readers who enjoy historical fiction will enjoy even more this piece of history that Thom embraces like a story.

Although I'm not much of a history buff, I read this book at the advice of a friend. By the end of the first chapter I was hooked. Thom brings the adventures of the Clark family to life. The book is accurate from a historical perspective and leaves the reader with a new appreciation of the courage and sacrifice behind our country's westward expansion. A must read.

This is the best novel of Revolutionary American history I have ever read. The story of the Clark family is incredible, especially that of two particular sons, George and William. Perhaps the main theme of this book is leadership. George Rogers Clark was a phenomenal leader. He almost single-handedly won the western frontier during the Revolution. In the end, he was ruined rather than rewarded, for his efforts. As his inner fire dies, it is momentarily rekindled by his young brother, who departs to co-lead the greatest adventure in American History. Thom's depiction of George's brutal marches on Kaskaskia and Vincennes, and the Journey of the Corps of Discovery, is a masterwork.

Kwame Alexander has done all aspiring writers a great service. He's writen a book that demystifies self publishing. His instructions are clear and free of jargon. Authors who aren't novices can enjoy the book too because of the highly valuable section on marketing. If you're serious about getting published run out and buy Do the Write Thing now.

As an aspiring novelist, I found this book to be an eye-opener. Whether or not I decide to self-publish, the inside information has helped me perpare for the process. Alexander's mix of humor and straightforwardness make this an educational and fun read. The example used throughout of a person publishing his book was particularly interesting and, the additional reading lists and worksheets were particularly helpful. Alexander addresses more than just publishing but also touches on writing, editing and marketing so the reader can understand the entire process. It's a must read for beginning self-publishers and writers.

Do The Write Thing: 7 Steps To Publishing Success by Kwame Alexander and Nina Foxx is a solid, "user friendly" guide to the process of writing, editing, publishing, printing, marketing, and selling a self-published or small press title, whether it's poetry, nonfiction, or the next Great American Novel. Written in an accessible language easily understandable by readers of all backgrounds and experience levels in the writing and publishing domain, Do The Write Thing is a first-rate primer and soundly recommended to everyone with serious thoughts about presenting their book to the world! Especially designed for the aspiring author seeking publication for their work, Do The Write Thing is an useful and welcome addition to personal and professional reference collections on writing and publishing.

I read this book years ago, but the story of George Rogers Clark has stayed with me. Thom is one of those rare authors that can paint pictures with his masterful weaving of words. A fictional presentation of a real-life hero, a man who accomplished amazing things and lived and outstanding life - and he is one that has long been overshadowed in the history books to a degree by his younger brother's feats (William Clark, famed adventurer of the Lewis & Clark team).

Thom has done a superb job of showcasing George Rogers Clark in this book. It's an outstanding read and could well set the reader on an adventure for more historical fiction from this fine author. Be sure to check out 'From Sea to Shining Sea' as well.

This is the second book I've read by James Alexander Thom. I love the way this author writes. Like the first book that I ready, Follow The River, this book pulled me in and I couldn't wait to get back to reading it to see what happened next. Thom does a superb job in his research. I read the book over the Christmas holiday when I was travelling. After the holidays I happened to catch a History Channel presentation on George Rogers Clark. To my surprise, Thom was included among the experts that they interviewed. I would recommend that anyone who likes to read about history and have it brought to life in the story read this book. I can't wait to read another book by Thom.

this story shows how the efforts of "george rogers clark" contributed to the growth of this country. we are used to hearing about the exploits of the revolutionary war but not often do we get a chance to know what was going on in the northwest territory. this is one of the best books i have ever read that covers how important a part was played by what was happening there. i recommend this book as an excellent read and most informative.
