John Randolph of Roanoke: A Study in American Politics With Selected Speeches and Letters
Published in Hardcover by Liberty Fund, Inc. (March, 1997)
Author: Russell Kirk
Average review score:

One of America's great characters!
John Randolph of Roanoke, a distant cousin of Thomas Jefferson (whose mother was a Randolph), cut one of the outstanding figures in American politics in the first third of the nineteenth century. Virtually nothing in his life was uninteresting. From leader of the Republican Party in the House in Jefferson's first term as president, Randolph went to leader of a new opposition party after his notorious break with Jefferson. Later, his famous speaking style (the speeches here are worth the volume's price and more!) and acerbic wit made him the terror of administrations of both parties. His duel with Secretary of State Henry Clay is immortal, his imbroglios with the young John C. Calhoun are mesmerizing, and the story of his death fascinates. Not included here is the controversy over his will: in the end, one of Randolph's wills was probated and the other failed, with the result that Randolph freed more than 400 slaves! He also bought them land in "free" Ohio, where the natives ran them off; I don't know what became of the land (or of the Randolph money that had bought it for them). Randolph's long-standing insistence that the Yankees were hypocrites when it came to slavery and emancipation finds some support here, to say the least.

Kirk, unfortunately, has a tendency to make every conservative he admires into a bygone Russell Kirk. Randolph, for one, was not nearly so religious as Kirk would have him, and what Christianity he had was -- as one might expect -- of an eccentric variety. Still, the text here is a nice entre' to Randolph's life, and the speeches and letters are priceless. We don't have politicians of this intellectual level, or with this grasp of the English language, anymore. Nor, alas, do we have any who are so consistently, insistently conservative.


Journey into the Fourth Dimension
Published in Audio Cassette by Hay House, Inc. (May, 1997)
Author: John Randolph Price
Average review score:

Journey into the fourth dimension, by John Randolf Price
although this tape was somewhat heavy at times, i found it to be extreemly interesting and timley.The 60 day process is an incredible journey to spirit. The concept leaves the listener with the power to change and to let go of the impossible responsibilty of trying to controll everything in one's life. It teaches the listener how to let go and trust spirit, bringing peace,joy and abundace into existance.


Keep Travelin' Rider
Published in Audio Cassette by Dh Audio (December, 1994)
Authors: Louis L'Amour and John Randolph Jones
Average review score:

Good vs. Evil in 19th Century West
This tape will hold your interest, with all kinds of sound effects, music, and many different voices. It's well done. The story is just a tad trite, with that old dog, W. B. Van Hardin being such an evil fellow, and Tack Gentry such a gallant gentleman. Why did Tack leave his woman for two years? To raise money? A few silly questions in the flush of the excitement of Good winning out over Evil. Diximus.


Lifehunter : selected stories, poems, and essays
Published in Unknown Binding by Beecher Press ()
Author: Priscilla Stewart Randolph
Average review score:

A Very Rich Book Indeed
This book offers the ideal format for a collection of an author's work: we get to see the sweep of her entire life, as she has included not just a sampling of her fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, but a real wealth of it, beginning with stories written when she was very young to essays written in her later years. There are dozens of pieces to read, on widely varying topics, and they're all interesting, some of them funny, some of them quite powerful. After reading the whole book, I found that the term "Lifehunter" is quite a good one, as the collection reads like a journey, and a subtle biography of a woman who wants to know a little something about everything in life.


The Marionette Master
Published in Hardcover by Dorrance Publishing Co (June, 1994)
Author: Randolph H. Deer
Average review score:

A social commentary through mystery writing
The Marionette Master uses the vehicle of myster and intrigue writing to discuss just how powerful and manipulative the world of the media is.

Randolph Deer, skillfully outlines how a third party could win an election in America (he wrote this prior to the attempt) and has given us detailed electral vote information.

all, in all, this book is well written, exciting to read, and extremely thought provoking


The Meditation Book
Published in Paperback by Hay House (August, 1998)
Author: John Randolph Price
Average review score:

Worth a read
Great book to be read in conjuction with The Abundance Book. For those of you who haven't had much experience in meditation as myself this is a good starter in conjunction with the forty day plan which is amazing.


The mushroom mutiny : an alternative to war
Published in Unknown Binding by Branden Press ()
Author: Randolph H. Femmer
Average review score:

An old reading assignment
This book was written by my tenth grade biology teacher and of course we had to read it for his class. As the title implies, it is an alternative look at aggression resolution that deviates from total nuclear war. Femmer is correct in relating that aggression between two countries can be settled by a mock war with little or no casualties. I just thought that a review of a book that is 1.8 million titles away from number one is fitting.


Objections to Calvinism
Published in Paperback by Schmul Publishing Co. (June, 1998)
Author: Randolph S. Foster
Average review score:

Close Scrutiny Vs. Calvinism
In 1849 the Calvinist author N.L. Rice wrote an article against Methodist doctrine in a Presbyterian magazine.

Randolph Foster, a Methodist minister, responded by writing a series of articles opposing Calvinism in a Methodist journal.

This resulted in dueling articles where each man responded to the other from the pages of his own denominational magazine.

The book, "Objections to Calvinism as it is," is a review by R. Foster of his articles and the responses given by N.L. Rice.

The debate, as conducted from Mr. Foster's side, focused specifically on whether Calvinism logically makes God the author of sin.

N.L. Rice denied this and repeatedly charged Mr. Foster with misrepresenting Calvinism.

Mr. Foster countered by showing from numerous Calvinist writings that no misrepresentation took place, and by repeatedly showing by compelling arguments that Mr. Rice's denial had no substance and had to be dismissed as illogical.

The reader will find that Calvinism, despite its denial and its charge of misrepresentation, is unable to withstand close scrutiny on this point, and the reader will find that Mr. Foster presented his case against Calvinism most successfully.
