Angels Watching Over Me, is a story of two young friends Katie, a white girl and Mayme, a colored slave girl. Set in Shenandoah, sometime after the Civil War the two teens living just miles of each other meet after a tragic event. When the Civil War comes to an end Gangs of outlaw Confederate deserters sweep across the land in a murderous path through the South leaving both the girls orphaned. I found this to be a very heartwarming, God-touching story of love and friendship amidst all the pain and sorrow. These two girls from two different worlds miraclously survive their ordeal in a world turned upside down.

Together both of the girls do whatever they can to stay safe as they hide out in the plantation once owned by Katie's family. In this story of survival, both of them grow in a new truth and faith in God. It is God who speaks to Mayme and she talks to him and listen to what He tells her to do. The two vow to keep things that have happened secret and manage things with God's help. When the girls come of age, they live together with Katie taking over the plantation. Through all the strengths and skills they reconstruct their lives by the mercy and grace of God. It was an amazing story of triumphant over bad circumstances. It encouraged me that no matter if you left alone in a dark world you can make it with the help of an Almighty and loving God. So you can grow and make a life for yourself. No matter the odds, you can stand against anything when you got God on your side.

I thought this book was really good because it has a lot of good messages. I love to read books about different times in history and this has been my favorite one so far. The other thing I like about this book is that it says some really cool stuff about God. I thought it was really nice to read about the attitude that Katie (Miss Katie) had with Mayme. Because back in those days white people weren't very nice to people with dark skin. I'm very surprised how strong Mayme was about the whole situation. Both of them had to grow up really fast and I can't wait to read the second book! So in conclusion I loved this book!

I have struggled with anger from the time I was a child. It's to the point now where I am desperate for change. It was that desperation that caused me to pick up this book. I loved the way the authors used real life examples and charts and diagrams. I also got so much out of the self-tests. The section on temperment was very eye opening for my personally. I definitely found my own temperment. But most of all, this book not only gives hope of real change, it lays out a process of getting there. The problem is neither quick nor easy, but it is possible. I recommend this book to anyone, Christian or not who has struggled with anger. I've read several books on the subject and this is one of the best books out there. It does not just deal with the symptoms of anger, but helps you get to the root cause of your anger. This is one book that I know I will refer to time and time again.

I am surprised that no one has reviewed this book. It is actually very good and I only wish that more people would read it. Especially in a day and age where we read in the media of school shootings and spousal abuse and other anger related issues.

Anger can be controlled, like any negative behavior. Our elders knew that teaching self discipline is what kept a child from becoming and adult with self destructive behavior. This is what Dr Lahaye tries to get across to the reader.

It is also a Biblically sound book in my opinion. I would only add that media and how we allow it into our lives also plays a big role in teaching our children and we as adults, what is acceptable, but not always wise or G~odly. It is a good read. And it is a book that non-christians might find some value in. I did.

I read this book for the first time, eight years ago, and I laughed my back end off! IT IS THE BOMB YO!

Written with a sharp wit and chocked full of true interesting facts, this book is great for inspiring creativity and a sense of fun in anyone, age 4 and up. If you can find a copy, get it.

Kottak is a model for scientific writers. Clear, well-organized and engaging.

This book is great for beginning anthropology students or people who just want to learn a little more about it! Basically, the author hits the main points (kinship, culture, primates, language, etc.) in an extremely easy to understand fashion. There are clear, concise definitions throughout, which I found to be very helpful when using it in the college classroom. Overall, a great choice for an introduction to the study of anthropology!

Wow, the illustrations are excellent! I like how the author tells a story while teaching the doll making craft. This style of book should work well with those kids who need hands-on experience to re-inforce learning.

Wonderfully illustratrated with scratchboard drawings. It has a warm family oriented story that will serve as a spark for discussions of your own family legends and crafts. Includes the patterns to make the doll in the fly of the book. This book is a great value.

My only complaint about most scotch whisky books is the boring and often impenetrable discussions on distilling and the chemistry of scotch. Hills makes these subjects not just accessible, but fascinating. Phillip Hills' "Appreciating Whisky" proved not only to be the most informative book on scotch I've read, but also the most fun. I've long distrusted the view that single malts don't alter chemically after exposed to air. In demystifying whisky chemistry Hills confirms that once opened, spirits should be drunk rather than left to languish in the bottle. Bravo Mr. Hills!

Vastly increase your enjoyment of Scotlands' spirits with Pip Hills new book, Appreciating Whisky. The founder of the Single Malt Whisky Society takes the reader's knowledge well beyond the propaganda of marketeers and into the known sciences of Scotch history and production. An educational and amusing read, Mr. Hills inclusions on human taste and the chemistry of flavor take this book to a catagory of it's own--"knowing Scotch". I recommend this book prior to purchase of single malt scotch guides.

I LOVE ARCHIE COMICS! I have only been reading them sice for like maybe a month and a few weeks and I have already fallen in Luv with them I think that you should buy this comic if you wanna see some good stories,you collect comics,or you just wanna have fun.Well thanxs and have a great day.

This is a remarkably complex and thought-provoking book.
It would be of interest to anyone who thinks about:
slavery/the middle passage, the limits (or failures) of Pan-Africanism, the power of the 'Exodus' myth in the Bible, and finally the invisible histories of urban space (i.e., of cities like Liverpool, UK and Charleston, SC).

The different destinations in the book -- Ghana, Liverpool, Charleston, even Israel -- all have some bearing to the middle passage. The argument of this book, if there is an argument, seems to be that the journeys "homeward" that many people of African descent invent for themselves are all in some way symptomatic of the original event of separation, the forcible departure constituted by captivity and the journey to the new world.

I picked this book up in the library probably because of its alluring cover image and title, I'll admit it. And I was prepared to even enjoy what I thought was coming: an intellectual travel book of the Paul Theroux ilk, with perhaps the added sarcasm and chip on the shoulder due any returing British colonial.

It was, however, immediately more interesting and engrossing than any of those books Mr. Theroux has written, and it had even more honesty than Maya Angelou's book about coming to Africa, "All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes." For a long time I was not sure if it was meant to be novel or not. It was acertainly a novel idea, to make such trips, one after the other, in the time that one would need to see the places one was visiting (although I get the feeling that he might have strayed further afield in Africa than he did. There is an element of depression at times that was perhaps strongest in Africa, that kept some of his questions from being asked, so that he decided to move on and end any meandering reflection.) He was always interested in takling to people of the places he visited, but not to justify or romanticize about some book-learned image of the place. He aims more to appreciate what the possibilities of the places he visits are now, and then more importantly, what people there feel their history to be.

It is almost as if he goes to visit a relative in each place, (although he never does this) and in the process was not recognised as a visitor or tourist (was not recognised as anything, perhaps, something that helped lend the novel air to the book, and an interesting element of his reflection. I guess it is based upon the narrator's (and author's, I suppose) African heritage, colonial experience, and English mother tongue, despite his never having lived in America, Britain, or Africa.)

I recomend this book as history and even as a novel. I Guess it is a new sort of book for this age, frank and real and yet also curiously fictitious. It is hard to put down. I look forward to reading it again.

This book offers an excellent summary of the most current evidence about causes, prognosis, treatment and rehabilitation of back problems.
I recommend it for physicians, patients and policy makers.

The book is fascinating. Some issues discussed in this book might challenge the reader and that is the main purpose. The chapter "Back pain through history" gives an important historical perspective of the matter. "Psychologic Distress" "Beliefs about Back Pain" and "Social interactions" are of enormous importance for those who deals with "Back Care". The message is: Back pain should be a benign, self-limiting symptom and rest should be avoided. I strongly recommend this book for everyone who deals with Back Care.

This book is absolutely wonderful. It has very nice pictures of the baskets and is very helpful when you are just starting to collect baskets. My only gripe is there are a FEW (a SMALL few) they do not have pictures of. It is a wonderful tool for anyone who loves Longaberger. Very helpful for ebay, etc.

I can't be without my Bentley Guide! I am a consultant and I bring it to every show to show my customers how much their investment in Longaberger baskets will grow over the years! It also has allowed me to see older baskets that I wanted and was able to track down on Ebay! LOVE IT!!
