I had to say I loved the view into history that this book gave me. I also happen to be into the equipemnt of the G.I. This is THE book for that. It has over a 100 pictures that show what The GI in the European Theater of War really looked like during their epic campaign across Europe. The author is very good at pointing out details in uniforms and equipment on every picture. From types of boots and undergarmnents, he has a great eye. This is the second book from this series that will stay in my library.

One of the best radio dramas I ever heard. I must hear for any fan boy or Star Wars fan. based on a great short story by a great author. If ony the Firebird books were made into a Radio Drama.

I took a class on Wedgeworks from Cheryl Phillips in Berthoud Colorado at Carriage House Quilts more than a year ago. Have been drawn back to do another earlier this year and am now working on the Dresden Plate pattern from the book. Cheryl is an incredible teacher as well as a fine person. She is dedicated to her craft and does a great job making easy what appears to be very complex.

This book is not about the Welsh revival you've probably heard about with Evan Roberts. This is about the revival that preceeded that one by about 40 years (about 1859) What makes it worthy of the stars is that it is a collection of first hand accounts of the glory of God. I can get so encouraged just by reading a few pages.

As an account of history, the sections I've read can be tough to follow because it is mostly testimonies. is not really that easy to grasp what is going on from the book. For those interested in the Welsh revivals, which some say lasted almost uniterrupted for 200 years, Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones is a well known scholar who grew up in the revival. Daniel Rowlands, and Evan Roberts are key figures worthy of studying.

Although this book is written for men, I chose to read it anyway because of the interesting chapter titles. Being a woman, I understood completely what the author was saying. What I also began to realize is that these are the very things men don't understand about women. Likewise, women usually don't have a clue as to how vastly different a man is from her. Thus the gender wars. It would benefit every man to read this book and get an insight into what makes a woman tick. I can assure you it is right on target. After reading this book, I read one written for women called "Making Sense of the Men in Your Life" by Kevin Leman. Excellent book for covering the other half of the ground. I highly recommend "What does she want from me anyway?" And men... when you show your woman that you are making the effort to better understand her and meet her needs, you can graciously ask her if she would read the other book I mentioned to help her better understand you. You will be glad you did!

The cover art, "Wanted Poster No. 17" by Charles White, drew me again and again into the depths of this book. It shows a black woman with her hands on the shoulders of a small black boy. Beside them are the first names and ages of faceless persons as they might be shown on a list of slaves to be offered at an auction. The faces of the woman and boy are very human and sensitive as if they are about to speak of what they have seen and heard.

Philip M. Weinstein, Alexander Griswold Cummins Professor of English at Swarthmore College, begins with his own Southern upbringing by a black woman. The love felt for that black woman was not enough to lead him into some enlightened knowledge of her (or even a visit to her home)until 23 years after her death! Her sister said, when he entered her home, "I've been waiting 23 years for this visit."

When Faulkner writes about Dilsey in "The Sound and the Fury" he is drawing upon the experience he had of being raised by a black woman. Dilsey never expresses personal doubt or pain or need. For such was Faulkner's experience of Callie Walker who raised him. He had no concept of the other world in which she lived and moved and had her being.

Likewise, Morrison has her blind spots. When she seeks to render the white Bodwin in "Beloved" she gives a strong but limited portrait, "a limited but precious truth." As Bodwin is about to enter the house where he was born and has not been in 30 years he thinks merely about the unbearable heat, his toy soldiers and watchless chain. These are nearly his last thoughts in this life were it not for the abortive attempt on his life by the confused Sethe.

The limited portraits by Faulkner and Morrison remind us of both the important contributions they have made to our understanding of their experiences and the need for other pieces of the human puzzle. The last word is not said in having said so much that is gripping and true.

Weinstein calls us to a humility that says where we are without the arrogance of thinking we have said/watched (or heard/seen) it all.

This book is a must for parents wanting to know what their children really think of sex and the concerns they have. It gets into the mind of children, using their own letters gathered into category sections to explore the dilemmas and difficulties of being a teenager today. My own kids found it enthralling - and they talked to me about it afterwards.

We here in scifi-stories.com just finished reading the last book of this TIMESHIFT trilogy 'What Price Paradise?' and it is very interesting, well thought out and well written. The one that will definitely intrigue you until the end. We can't recommended it enough. For this last book Phillip Ellis Jackson teamed up with author John William Galt, an award winning movie talent, screenwriter, and actor.

In the third book of the Timeshift trilogy we find Elias Putnam discovering a way to send a jumper (what time travelers are called) back in time. Keith Maravich is sent back to save Alicia York and her mother from being murdered, believing that this could fix the calamities mankind has caused.

Carson Gilmore, Keith Maravich's friend, is sent back on a mission to stop Maravich from changing the past. In the middle of the desperation that mankind finds itself in the future, Maravich believes he will do good by affecting the past, bringing the scenario of changing events from the past that could cause irreversible consequences and an uncertain future.

This book is never boring and all connects together very well.

When finishing this books we now wonder, with what new ideas will Phillip Jackson come up with next? We have become his fans as a 'story teller' just as we know many of those that will read these books.
