This is one of the best books I have ever read on white tailed deer. Full of great information for both hunters and managers. Any serious hunter should have this book.

A Treatise on White Magic or The Way of the Disciple
Published in Hardcover by Lucis Publishing Company (June, 1951)
Author: Alice Bailey
Average review score:

A Practical But Esoteric Spiritual Guide
A Treatise On White Magic by Alice Bailey is a very special book written for those spiritual seekers who have found the spiritual path within themselves and who require specific and general guidance in moving forward. The book is divided into major sections, where each can be seen to deal with a major aspect and stage upon this path. There are sections that deal with the physical, emotional and mental aspects of ourselves and the books hints at how these aspects are and can be spiritualised.

A Treatise on White Magic, like so many of A.A.B's books, is not intended to be informational. On the whole, they are intended to be inspirational. By that I mean that the reader's intuition and spiritual perception is awakened through studying the book's contents.

This book cannot be rated too highly and will be appreciated by those who have a deep interest in all things spiritual, but not necessarily religious, and by those who can appreciate the spiritual and esoteric aspect of everyday life.

A Treatise on White Magic
In this book, the 15 Rules of White Magic are explained in detail, each relating to a specific plane, each demanding a definite state of mind in order to obtain sought after results. For instance, Rule I requires Recollection leading the way to Concentration. Rule II demands Response leading to Interaction between the Higher and Lower Self. Rule III is Radiation, which is a Sounding forth, etc. Rules I through VI relate to the Mental Plane, Rules VII through XI to the Astral Plane. Rules XII through XV to the Physical Plane. The whole of man is taken into consideration; the whole of man is at work with White Magic.

The graded and controlled concretion of Ideas
This book is an enlargement on the "15 Rules of White Magic" as given by the author in "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire". The "15 Rules" apply to bringing down to the physical, the Divine Idea which is its underlying cause. Specifically, the rules examine the various phases this Idea goes through in order to be "clothed in matter", at which time it becomes manifest on the physical plane. The "magician" is the soul or Higher Self, thereby making the new physical object of divine origin. Obviously, not everyone can perform White Magic of this kind as it requires that continuity of consciousness possessed by an initiate of a certain grade. Furthermore, it is clear that if this information were easy to know, inherent dangers might befall the "magician". So, much of this book also centres on how to "become a Disciple and Initiate", and the reader has to "read between the lines" to truly learn. Hence, it is a book one returns to time and again over many years.


The White Dove
Published in Hardcover by Houghton Mifflin Co (24 April, 2000)
Author: Lois Bartholomew
Average review score:

The White Dove
Although at times the dialogue in The White Dove was a little dull, overall, it was a great book. I loved the book and am eagerly awaiting for a sequel...and possible some romance between Marki & Tasha? I don't know, I'm a sucker for a love story. If you have any affection at all for historical fiction or fantasy or just books in general, read The White Dove.

What a Great Book!
Lois Bartholomew is a great writer. When I read the book I started it and couldent put it down. It is so great to see how tasha and her friends tried as hard as they could to achieve a goal. What a great Book. I would recommend this book to anyone!

I couldn't put it down!
Even though I love fantasy novels, and the author said right up front that this wasn't a fantasy, the story caught me up and kept me going until the last page. I hope this isn't the only story about Tasha and their resistance movement. When she was in her father's house--which has been taken over by a thoughtless, uncaring dictator, just like the kingdom--my heart was pounding. This is a terrific adventure story, full of hope and all the right ingredients--READ IT!


White Grass Cafe Cookbook
Published in Spiral-bound by McClain Printing Company (December, 1997)
Authors: Laurie Little and Mary Beth Gwyer
Average review score:

Laurie and Mary Beth outdid themselves and share the wealth
I have been fortunate to have eaten at the White Grass Cafe and have always come away more pleasantly surprised than the time before. Laurie and Mary Beth have given us the keys to their kitchen with this book. The food is easy to make, healty, satisfy, heck, it's great. Add some music from Ottmar Liebert in the background, the smell of the wood stove, and you'll be in the West Virginia Mountains as the sun sets over the mountains. Check their menu (...). With the recipes in this book you can serve it up.

Like Momma Used to Make (only better)
This is, without a doubt, my favorite cook book! The recipes are simple and easy to follow. The results are special (ie: not your everday sort of mealtime selections) and delicious. The White Grass Cafe cookbook takes over top honors in our kitchen after knocking out a recipe book from a 1950s flour company. Standouts are a Sweet Potato soup that is tangy and soulful and a Walnut pie that is desert's version of heaven! Nothing much in this world beats having a mid-winter dinner at Whitegrass, but this cookbook is a close second!

Great food, Great people
This cookbook has the best variety of recipes I have ever seen! I love eating at the cafe, but when I am not in Canaan, I can have a taste of it in my house. Lots of good food that people with all different tastes will enjoy.


The White Man's Bible
Published in Paperback by Noontide Press (June, 1986)
Author: Ben Klassen
Average review score:

The Truth About Our World
Ben Klassen has done a brilliant job in expanding on his ideas from his previous book, Nature's Eternal Religion, into a fully comprehensive lifestyle and religion.

He incorporates all aspects of life, from the food we eat, how we grow them, medical misnomers and truths, societal needs, historical aspects relating to today's events, the essential truths behind Christianity, as well as, the solutions to the problems mentioned.

If you are looking for a faith or an all-encompassing life-view to based yourself upon, then you cannot go pass this book. With it, you do not need to worry about your future, as you know how to plan it and live fully.

A profound book!
The White Man's Bible could conceivably be the most profound book written in the 20th Century. The other would be Nature's Eternal Religion by the same author, Ben Klassen. Every American of European descent needs to get their hands on this book. A real page turner. Be ready to have the blinders removed and a lifetime of media induced guilt lifted from your spirit. This book will change your life.

A real eye opener, a must read
This is a dynamic masterpiece that clarifies the fundemental problems of today's religions and multicultural trends. Mr. Klassen obviously had a gift for clear consise writing and used that gift in explaining the most confusing and most important issues of today.


White Dolphin Blues
Published in Paperback by Creative Arts Book Co (25 August, 1999)
Author: Carl Burcham
Average review score:

well written first novel
I came across this book while on business over in Korea and decided to give it a try. Having spent many a summer on the beaches of Florida, Georgia, and Delaware, I have always been partial to the ocean and beach towns of my youth. As a result, one of my favorite genres is a light-hearted beach novel that you can enjoy while on the hot sand near the water. WDB was well written and fun to read. The characters were well developed and seemed to grow on you after every page. Even Bailey Ginch, the antagonist, grew on me by the end of the book. My favorite two characters in the book were two old friends who had been coming to the White Dolphin for many years and thrived off of one another's friendship, loyalty, and companionship. Burcham did a good job developing and chronicling the life of the main character, Rowena Muldoon, as she grew up in N.C. until she became the owner defacto of the quaint little beach bar called the White Dolphin. No story is complete without conflict and White Dolphin Blues in no exception. The town, the beach and the bar all seem to be in jeopardy of the wrecking ball all in the name of progress and profit. Muldoon musters a group of introverts, extroverts, and eccentrics to save the day and the Dolphin. This book would appeal to anyone who loves any of Jimmy Buffet's music or his two novels WHERE IS JOE MERCHANT and MARGARITAVILLE. A quick read and well done beach novel, WDB will reward the reader with vivid imagery, well developed characters and plot lines, a classic man vs. man struggle and conflict, and enjoyable conflict resolution. Overall, it was an A- book. I look forward to this authors next work.

Fun book - wish I was in Paradise Beach.
A great cast of characters and easy reading make White Dolphin Blues a fun experience. Surprise twists keep you reading until the final (very satisfying) outcome. You can tell that Mr. Burcham, through his heroes/heroines, loves the beach life. Don't we all?

The characters in this book were wonderful.
I usually read Westerns, but because I vacation at the beach in the summer, White Dolphin Blues caught my eye and I'm glad it did. This one had as many thrills as my Westerns, and as many colorful characters too. I recommend it highly.


White Knight
Published in Paperback by Signet (November, 1999)
Author: Jaclyn Reding
Average review score:

Passion, mystery and romance!
But however will I know who is the right husband if you are not here to advise me?" The dowager had smiled again, saying only, "You will, child, because you are of my blood. I had only to dance once with my true love and I knew I would spend the rest of my life loving him. It will be the same when you have found your own true 'very parfit gentle knight.'" Her last words were whispered like the soft summer wind through Grace's thoughts. Gentle knight. Knight..."Was it possible? Could this Marquess Knighton be the one her grandmother had spoken of? Had Nonny somehow sent him to protect her as she had promised, or was she being silly..." When Grace Ledys finds herself facing a marriage match arranged by her selfish, gambling Uncle Tedric, she has only one request. She wants to dance with her future husband before the marriage takes place. Then, she will know if this man is the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Reluctantly, Uncle Tedric arranges for the dance, anxious to get Grace married off and his debts paid by the Duke of Westhover--the future groom's Grandfather. At the ball, Grace witnesses a lifestyle of Lords and Ladies that is to be her own. Feeling hopelessly inadequate, she attempts to flee the manor. Ducking into a dark hallway, she tumbles through the servant's entrance and lands at the feet of a man---a rather well-sculpted man in a state of undress. Christian Wycliffe, Marquess Knighton believes his uninvited guest is just another one of the girls after his money and his name. In an effort to scare her off, he threatens to have his way with her and pulls her into his arms. Unaware, he kisses his future bride and lights a fire that will undermine the plans for his future. Like the couples that came before them in Book One of the Regency Quartet, White Heather and White Magic, Grace and Christian prove to be a tantalizing combination of reluctant lovers. White Knight is an exceptional romance for its mystery and intrigue. Whispers of murder and an ill-fated romance dance just below the surface of this story, keeping the reading guessing while their passion is igniting.

Lynne Remick, Reviewer

Amazing! Romantic!
White Knight is third in a series of four, the first being White Heather, the second being White Magic, and the last in the series is White Mist.

Lady Grace Ledys thought that her arranged marriage to Christian Wycliffe, Marquess Knighton, would be perfect, but little did she know that he had a past that he would not deal with, and it was making him a very cold and mean man. With her happiness taken away, Grace decides to leave for a castle called Skynegal.

I was truly amazed at Ms. Reding's truly magnificent descriptions of the Scottish Highland Clearances when poor tenant farmers were burned out of their homes by greedy landowners. The descriptions were explicit and made me feel the anguish that the tenants felt. White Knight was a wonderful romance that was heart breaking at times and yet was exciting to read.

An unforgettable love story
Christian and Grace's story drew me in immediately. I stayed up all night until I finished it and then went back and read different parts of it again! The setting, the historical period, the characters, all came together to make a remarkable story. So often the "arranged marriage" plot is so unbelieveable. This story showed an aspect that is rarely done, a more realistic approach that made me care so much more about the characters. Grace was such a strong heroine, a girl who could stand on her own two feet, and an absolute match for Christian. This is my favorite Reding book, and I can't wait for the last one of the series, WHITE MIST!


White Mandingo
Published in Paperback by Writers Club Press/iUniverse.com (February, 2001)
Authors: Maurice Blaise and Ellen Blaise
Average review score:

The story of a young man who came to Africa to find God
Based on his experiences in Liberia as a young man studying for the priesthood in the 1970s, Maurice Blaise has written a two-part novel. As he says in his preface, most of the story is true. With a keen sense of dramatic detail, his graphic descriptions made me wince and yet drew me into the story of the young man who came to Africa to find God. Instead, he found people living in abject poverty with no hope of ever improving their lives while the missionaries lived in a world of their own. The lead character, also named Maurice, is constantly going through learning experiences as he not only has to deal with fevers and an infected thumb in the humid climate, he also has to struggle with his own vows of celibacy as well the contradictions he sees in the world around him.

Perhaps the author only wanted to give the reader some background as to Maurice's character by including a flashback into his childhood, adolescence and student days in the Vermont, but I found this over-long section unnecessary. Without it, Mr. Blaise might have been able to write this book in one volume. The book also suffered by a lack of proper editing. Grammatical errors detracted from the story. The sights, sounds and smell of Africa were the strengths of this book. His descriptions of the marketplace and the despair of the people brought tears to my eyes. Like Maurice, I was frustrated because I saw how difficult it was to help. And yet I admired Maurice's self-introspection as he grew into manhood and found himself falling in love. Mr. Blaise's story does need telling. And he brings a unique view to the literature about the African experience. But Part 1 is 430 pages and Part 2 is 392 pages more. I do recommend this book however, and am looking forward to reading Part 2. But do be prepared to wade through some extraneous material in order to get to its worthwhile core.

non-reader
a truly excellent novel this book contains everything you need for a great late night read; love, evil forces, african jungles filled with lecherous creatures and above all page turning adventure. for those of you who are startled by the number of pages this book has let me tell you i was too, but it was loaned to me by a friend so i figured i'd give it a try. DON'T WORRY! the only time i looked at the page number was when i wanted to remember what page i was on. this man can write! it is not a book, it is a movie on pages! you can see everything. at one point in the story this man is running through the jungle to save this boys life and i had chills down my spine! it was seriously intense. move this book right up to the top of your to read list and you certainly won't be let down. this book will blow you away!

read the excerpt!!
To be honest, when I first stumbled onto this book while surfing Amazon.com, the description really didn't catch me, but I was killing time so I decided to read the excerpt and it was much more interesting than I thought it would be! After reading the first chapter I just had to buy the book and find out what happened next. The description really doesn't do this book any justice, I am now 5 chapters into it and I can't put it down!!


Snow White and Rose Red : A Modern Fairy Tale
Published in Hardcover by Bethlehem Books (August, 1997)
Author: Regina Doman
Average review score:

A fairy tale made believable!
I love reading fairy tale novelizations, because I'm the one who always wants to know the why behind characters' actions. Novels offer a much better glimpse into fairy tales than a simple story book. This novel knows what it's doing.

The main characters, Blanche and Rose, are well-drawn and believable; their personalities are distinct but both likable. Doman also does a good job drawing Bear as a sensitive hulk. The swing dancing scene is one of my favorites! The plot flows smoothly and quickly, with heroic adventures along the way, but nothing that a real person couldn't handle. Sometimes, even if you like a fantasy book, the characters seem superhuman (well, I suppose they occasionally are!). But in this real-world adventure, all characters are true to life.

My one complaint is that Doman resorts to the Nancy Drew technique of having the villain explain his plot to his victim, so that the reader figures out what's going on. Still, it's only her first book (written at age 23 or so), and it's remarkable! I can't wait to see what else Regina Doman has for us.

The Best Book!!!!!!!
I am fifteen years old, and this is my ultimate favorite book!The characters are believable, and the plot is fascinating. It is a mystery/adventure/romance book that, without being preachy, teaches strong morals and christian virtues. I find it refreshing to read a book that has the courage to do all that.

A Fairytale Come To Life!
After reading this excellent book a few times each year since it has come out, I have finally decided to read the Grimm's version and may I say that Ms. Doman is one really acurate writer. I really hope she DOES continue the story of Blanche, Bear, Rose and Fish as she mentioned at the end of her book. Also, after reading a book like this, I feel so lucky to be a homeschooling Catholic, Ms. Doman makes every reader feel proud of her religion and so VERY proud of Bear and Fish for their courage. I hope everyone who reads any of these reviews will find the hear(and the time!)to pick up this book and read it and read it and read it, over and over and over and over....


The Ways of White Folks
Published in Hardcover by Random House (June, 1934)
Author: Langston Hughes
Average review score:

Basic Review
Hughes, from this book at least, seems to have a very simple yet honest style. From his writing we can easily tel he is a revolutionary writers even though he never states it. He sides with the african americans and describes them as being more humane then their white social superiors. The book is very good but his style is a bit bland for my taste.

Sitting at about 225p paper back for 10$ its an overpriced book. I payed 12 for mine, but it was for school so i hadnt the time to argue over the consumer's pretty pennies of fortune. 10 is cheaper than mine, but a paper back thats less than 350 pages should be over 6$ in my opinion. Plus Langeston is dead, so it's jsut going over to whomever has the rights to his work. Quite greedy of them, no?

PURE GENIUS
Langston Hughes's work is a masterpiece at it's best. Any true fan of Langston should explore this fantastic journey of words driven by an absolute genius.

Piercingly perceptive
Before reading this book of short stories, I knew practically nothing about Hughes, other than that he was famous for being one of the first black American writers to develop a style of writing which directly reflected the uniqueness of the Afro-American experience.

Reading this collection, however, introduced me for the first time to the mind of a truly great observer, thinker, and communicator. Hughes achieved something which is very important in the now overly politicized climate of race: he documented not only the confounding and hostile conditions which blacks had to endure in the early 20th century, but he understood the white culture as well. Through the eyes of the shrewd and empathetic Hughes, these stories read not so much as indictments of white racism as they do as the clashes of two dramatically different cultures.

To be sure, Hughes does not pull any punches when describing the hostility, condescension, and apathy of whites towards blacks during the Great Depression. These stories are glimpses into a world when overt racism was not only condoned, it was institutionalized as part of the American fabric. But despite the awful conditions for black people at the time, I never got the sense that Hughes was writing to express any personal rage or contempt for white people. He seems to present each heartbreaking scenario as an absurd juxtaposition between two disparate cultures. Instead of taking the easy road by presenting whites as evil, he makes them out to be a paranoid, anal retentive, soulless lot who don't know how to enjoy themselves. Unlike many contemporary discussions of race which tend to oversimplify the complex problems we face, Hughes's stories paint the clash between blacks and whites with deep humanity, empathy, nuance, and even humor.

Stylistically, he certainly belongs to the canon of outstanding 20th century American writers, black and white. He was no mere experimentalist (as I had previously thought), but rather a well schooled craftsman who did his homework first, and then did his own thing with it.

But aside from all my amateur literary criticm, I would like to mention that I simply could not put this book down. These stories are a gift!
