Uncommon Cents: Benjamin Franklin Secrets to Achieving Personal Financial Success
Published in Paperback by Franklin Quest Co (June, 1989)
Authors: Lisa Vermillion, Lynn G. Robbins, and Dennis Webb
Average review score:

Best ... book I ever bought
I have been a student of personal finance for many years (Charles Givens, and others) spent over a thousand dollars on what is good information, too. However, the biggest bang for the buck has to be Uncommon Cents. What they do in 114 pages is concise, entertaining, loaded with cartoons, and right on! The plan to get out of debt works, a personal testimonial, and the financial myths timeless. Highly recommended reading!

ESSENTIAL
This is a must read book. It explains in such a simple format as to how to control your expeditures and curb instant gratification. I first bought it in 1990, and now I have bought a number of copies as presents for friends - and even my accountant. I highly endorse this publication. It is the best financial planning advice.

a must have
If you can still get this book, try. This should be a text book that is used in all high schools and by parents giving their children/young adults a very simple and pragmatic way of dealing with and understanding their finances. Although life and finances can get much more complicated, if everyone started out with this book and practiced its teachings, maybe we would do a better job at controlling debt and curb the need for instant gratification.


Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Bible Prophecy
Published in Paperback by Mysteries from the Word of God (July, 2001)
Author: Emanuel T. Franklin
Average review score:

"Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Bible Prophecy"
"Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Bible Prophecy" is the most compelling book that I have ever read. The "Book" follows the words of The Lord God Almighty,The Lord Jesus Christ , and all of the anointed and Holy Ghost filled Apostle, Prophets, Ministers, Teachers, Christians and the Saints . The "Book" is a great emphasis on how to be a Christian how these aforementioned has lived by example to overcome all of the heresy that has overwhelmed us by other writers of "Christian Fiction." Where shall we be when Jesus Christ comes to claim His Saints and His Church? When we are are no longer preaching the quoting the words of The Lord God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son.
I recommend this book to every Christian that is confused about Bible Prophecy to read it, thoroughly, and pray to The Lord God Almighty, and the Lord Jesus Christ to help them understand his words through the Holy Ghost.

Truth from the Word
Be prepared to learn. This book is not sugar coated like so many "Christian" books out there today are. Everything is backed up with scripture which is another thing you don't find often. I recommend this title if you want to find out why so many people are saying so many different things and also if you want to find out what the Bible has to say about prophecy.

Real Bible Prophecy Is Avoided By Christians Today
I really enjoyed reading "Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Bible Prophecy" because it led me to a deeper understanding of the scriptures. I am troubled by the trend followed by most Christian authors. Most prefer to write fiction. God sent His truth in the form of His Son Jesus, and this book reveals and interprets how that truth relates to what is going on in our lives today.
The chapter on the counterfeit of God is my favorite chapter because it shows the lie that will confuse and deceive most believers in this difficult age.
I hope that all who want to know the truth will read this inspiring book. It is truly an eye opener!

Hey maybe someone out there can help me out. I am looking for a copy of the Blue Book on pipefitting, instead of the black book , if any of you have the correct title and/or author please respond to me at: atubeweldr@aol.com

excellent book
I have read and used this book in the past and found it a must have for anyone in the pipe trades


The Reformers and Their Stepchildren
Published in Paperback by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. (December, 1964)
Authors: Leonard Verduin and Franklin Hamlin Littell
Average review score:

The Real Reformers
This is must reading for anyone fed up with political Christianity. Verduin unmasks many of the myths about the Reformation which the mainstream Protestant churches fail to teach.
"Stepchildren" is a term Verduin uses to designate the more radical front of the Reformation which was later scorned and persecuted by the officially sanctioned Protestant churches. Verduin avoids the term "Anabaptist" because this underground dissent of Christendom went all the way back to the days of Constantine and had no official founder or name. Known throughout the centuries as Donatists, Waldenses, Cathars, or Anabaptists,the "stepchildren" had the greatest influence in securing the religious liberties we enjoy today.
Verduin spares no criticism of the Reformers, ie Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli, who merely replaced Roman Catholic theocracy with one of their own. Originally allied with the "stepchildren", the Reformers became their bitterest enemies when they allied themselves with the governing authorities and used civil and military force to coerce believers.
It was the "stepchildren", many of whom emigrated to the American colonies, and not the Reformers, who had the greatest influence upon religious freedom and separation of church and state which was later incorporated into the First Ammendment of our Constitution. The First Ammendment, once and for all, ended the notion that America would ever become a "Sacral" or theocratic society tied together by one religion.

A valuable history of pre-Reformation Christians
Around 10 years ago I borrowed a copy of this book to read.
After reading it once I borrowed it again to re-read. The author
did a great service in uncovering the European historical records on Christian sects which, during the 400AD to post-Reformation period, were accused as 'heretics' by the 'church'(the one wielding worldly power and influence). It is an excellent scholarly book(the author has the entire text and footnotes in the original languages) covering in detail much of the historical context for the doctrinal fight which the followers of Jesus Christ have had in 'contending the faith' since the Apostle-age. Highly recommended!!- and I hope it's obvious historical value can merit a reprinting.

Finding the Thread of Christianity in History
Reverend Leonard Verduin devoted his life to serving the Lord. He died in Nov., 1999, at the age of 102, still working on his writing until the last couple of months of a rich, God-Fearing life. This is just one of the books he wrote in an effort to inform his fellow-man of the true history of Christianity since Jesus Christ brought Salvation to this world. Leonard was a Fulbright scholar who not only spent a full year researching the original ancient and pre-modern records in Europe, but also devoted decades to research in many facets of history and other subjects. He had a truly idetic memory and could perfectly recall everything he ever read. He was a brilliant linguist, who read the texts in their original forms. He translated many works. He dedicated his life to the Lord at an early age and steadfastly held to the course. If you want to truly understand Christianity's history, this book is a must-read, together with his book published in 1998, "That First Amendment and the Remnant". His other works are also first-rate!


Three Strikes: Labor's Heartland Losses and What They Mean for Working Americans
Published in Hardcover by Guilford Press (18 June, 2001)
Author: Stephen Franklin
Average review score:

I survived this mess.
In 1991 I had 24 years in at Caterpillar. If I would have had any way to forsee the future when I was young, I never would have applied for a job with Caterpillar. Franklin did a lot of research for his book, and for the most part I believe it is accurate. But neither Franklin nor anyone else could possibly document the pain, the frustration, the hopelessness, the fear, and the uncertainty that thousands of us suffered at he hands of these greedy bastards. I hope I live to see labors' return to power.

Challenge for this generation
This book tells a depressingly familiar tale of everyday people dedicating their lives and souls to their work, only to find out themselves turned out with nothing to show for it. Where are the John L. Lewises and Walter Reuthers of this generation?

Solid Reporting & Research
This is a well researched and documented book. I know, or have met, a lot of the players in this book and it provided me with a lot of information I was not aware of. Shows the human side of many lives.


A Tournament of Murders: The Franklin's Tale of Mystery and Murder As He Goes on Pilgrimage from London to Canterbury
Published in Hardcover by St. Martin's Press (September, 1997)
Author: P. C. Doherty
Average review score:

WONDERFUL!
This is another installment in P. C. Doherty's Chaucer series. The Franklin tells the tale of a young squire, Richard Greenele, sent on a mission by his Knight as he lays dying on the battlefield. Richard finds out that he is really a noble and begins a quest to unravel the mystery behind his father's downfall. This is a story of the coming of age of young Richard as well as a wonderful mystery full of murder and deceit.

P.C Doherty is in my opinion the best writer of historical mysteries out there. This book kept me riveted. I loved it.

OUTSTANDING!
Quite an excellent book. Doherty perfectly intermingles the pilgrim's conversations with the story told by the franklin. A page-turner and nearly impossible to put it down; I read it in two days! This book has all the classic murder mystery parts: death, sex, intrique, romance, and for those medieval fans, knights, ladies, verderers, castles, and of course those pilgrims. A five out of five stars!

A serious page-turner
Having read and enjoyed The Man of Law's Tale and The Knight's Tale, I was expecting to find The Franklin's Tale to be no less intriguing. My expectations were far exceeded. I was scarcely able to put it down, and, when I had finished it, I got my husband to read it, and HE couldn't put it down, either. This book is more "gothic" in flavor than the previous two, and perhaps that why I enjoyed it more. This has all the markings of a classic, one that I'll read again and again.


The War in Sallie's Station
Published in Paperback by Five Star (May, 2003)
Author: Mignon Franklin Ballard
Average review score:

WW 2 on the homefront
This is a historical novel about life in rural Georgia in during the World War Two era. If you like the works of Ferrol Sams, you will also like this one. As a baby-boomer, this gave me an insite into my parents childhood. The character are charming, and well-drawn.

Like going home
Having grown up in a small southern town with the curses and blessings of larger than life small town characters and their intense involvment in each other's lives, The War in Sallie's Station rang true on every front. It is a marvelous book which has more than a few turns of phrase which remind me of my literary idol, Harper Lee--I could not reccomend it more highly. The War in Sallie's Station is a story of friendship and love that span not only changing years but cultures, of evil that transends imagination, and of ultimate good that conquors all.

Hometown and friendships
I know Sallies Station, in fact I know Mignon Franklin Ballard.
We grew up in the same small town that Sallies Station is based on.
She has captured my town and all other small towns in America.
I have enjoyed her angel series and eagerly await the new one due in April of next year.
Sallies Station goes between the years of WW II and present day and the characters are wonderful.
I only wish she would write faster and hope she will write a sequel to this book.
