This book is the best book ever. Everybody should read it.

The second edition of the NAAH is out, and it's definitely worth the wait. The airlines' addresses and fleets have been updated, the pictures are all new, and an extra chapter, on the airlines of Central America, has been added.

I think the NAAH is one of the best values out there - it has most of the information that's in reference volumes that cost $50 and up, and it's definitely much easier to take to the airport!

Even the most obscure commuter airlines of remote canada were covered. I liked the way that it didn't ignore that commuter airlines are actually their own companies -- not just subsidiaries of their long-haul partners

This book gives us a clear example of "countercultural" Christian leadership, as demonstrated in the life of R.C. Chapman. The reader will be inspired to walk in his example, even as he sought to walk in the example of Christ.

Robert Chapman provides an extraordinary example of godly Christian leadership -- something desperately needed today. Although very few are familiar with this 19th century British pastor, teacher, and evangelist, few will not be inspired by him. This account of his life and ministry may in fact be one of the most spiritually challenging books you may ever read!

The book sets forth the qualities of true -- agape, loving -- Christian leadership:

--Love for God's Word

-- Spirit-controlled character

-- Being patient and gentle

-- Maintaining unity

-- Disciplining and reconciling

-- Practicing hospitality

-- Giving to the needy

-- Continuing consequences

and more. Some excerpts:

To reform the church of God we should always begin with self-reform. Schisms and divisions will increase so long as we begin with reforming others. Wisdom is only with the lowly.

Humility is the secret of fellowship, and pride the secret of division.

The ruin of a kingdom is a little thing in God's sight, in comparison with division among a handful of sinners redeemed by the blood of Christ.

The best testimony that Stephen bore was his last: not when preaching and working miracles, but when he pleaded for his persecutors; for then he most resembled the Lord Jesus in patience, forgiveness and love.

(To a young missionary, heading for the field:) Keep low, look up, and press forward.

The Bottom Line: This book offers a much needed corrective to the kind of corporate (= worldly) leadership styles that dominate most church fellowships today. In that, it ranks with Schaeffer's Mark of the Christian. We highly recommend it be distributed widely, that we might see a generation of Christian leaders arise who are marked by their love, wisdom, and compassion.

This is a must read.

Incredible insight into what it means to become more Christ like and be a Man after God's own heart. This is a must read to anyone in leadership in their local church.

I had never heard of R.C. Chapman before being given this book. After reading about his life, I have gained new insight on what it means to be a disciple of Christ. The book is a quick read (it only took me an hour or two) and is filled with wonderful stories from Chapman's life as well as biblical teachings and application. Not strictly a linear biography, the book is organized under subjects such as "Giving to the Needy," "Hospitality," "Forgiving and Blessing Others" and "Maintaining Unity." Each section illustrates how Chapman applied God's word to in his life in each of these areas. Chapman's life is one that Christians should definitely look to for inspiration on how to be more like Jesus. This book will be a blessing to those who read it.

If you like adventures, here's a book for you!It's about a family that moved from Holland to America. They faced storms, sadness, and sickness at sea, and then they finally land in America. I liked the main charcter, a boy named John, who faced many trials and was very brave.

The American Adventure series is a great way to teach history to your kids in an exciting way! We use the series as part of our history lessons while we home school our six kids. The series shows history from a Christian view piont.

John's family have arrived in America and try to make a life in the new land. Sarah was my favorite character because she was hardworking, brave, and kind-hearted. This book is an easy way to learn history.

Cheryl Harness has produced the most unusual gem of the Mayflower story that I have yet run across. The story, by adult standards is choppy in its progression, but is quite charming in its childlike perspective of the harshness that the pilgrims must have faced both on the Mayflower and in the founding of Plymouth including the time of the Thanksgiving feast. The story is sandwiched between pages that give interesting details of the ship, the voyage, and the people and events of the time that would be certain to satisfy the curious reader or listener. The artwork was beautifully illustrated in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil and has been wonderfully reproduced in colored ink. This is both a wonderful holiday and historical book that should please all ages.

I discovered Three Young Pilgrims by accident and had to have it. Beautifully told believable story that brings history alive for all ages and illustrations are detailed and excellent. I recommend it for ages 7 to 107!

This is a wonderful and informative book for children and adults that tells the story of the Allerton family as they travel to America. Readers will enjoy both the illustrations -- detailed cut-aways of the ships they sailed in -- and the text which does not mince words about the difficulties of the journey. For anyone who has relatives on the Mayflower, this is a lovely story of how our ancestors first came to this country. It reminds us of how brave they were.

This is a beautifully illustrated picture book for young children about the original Thanksgiving feast for the pilgrims and indians (the author's preferred term based on historical precedence, as she explains in the Foreword). The text is placed into a gentle rhyme that takes us back to the landing at Plymouth rock, where a series of lovely paintings then depict the people's lives in their village by the harbor that first year.

It is obvious that the illustrator put a lot of careful attention into researching for historical accuracy. This is a teaching technique that is particularly effective for an age group in which a picture is truly worth a thousand words. Although hardships and struggles are hinted at in both rhyme and painting, the real focus is on the positive relationship between the two peoples as the Indians helped the Pilgrims adapt to their new home.

The only caveat -- for christians and anyone who is a monotheist -- is that this book nowhere mentions God, who is after all the reason for this holiday. It is a significant historical fact that the Pilgrims fled England due to religious persecution, and that this first Thanksgiving Feast was in Giving Thanks to God for His blessings and bounty. Later, Abraham Lincoln officially pronounced Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November and reaffirmed that it was a holiday specifically set aside to revere God. So, the author's careful avoidance of this fact is a disappointment to me.

But if you are more on the politically correct side, you will find this book to be a perfect introduction to Thanksgiving for your children.

The poetic text and rich art of this book complement each other perfectly. It presents a good amount of information in a simple format so that even young preschoolers can start to understand the origins of this tradition. This book reads like a classic...it's lovely!

This story begins and ends with the very first Thanksgiving Day but the scope of the book is much wider than that day. The carefully rhymed text and realistic illustrations invite the reader to take a step back, then another, and another, all the way back to the Pilgrims leaving their homeland and boarding the Mayflower. The result is that the day is put into historical context in a way that's understandable even to the very young. This is a wonderful, age-appropriate look at what the Pilgrims had to go through just to get to the first Thanksgiving Day, and how the Indians helped them.

As always, Anthony Young has done an excellent job in bring all the necessary data, facts and figures about his chosen subject. Nothing new that has not been done before by various other authors like Holder & Kunz, RM Clarke and most of the pictures have been seen before.

However, a worthwhile addition to any collection as it brings the best of all three manufacturers together unto one book and blends Mr Youngs particular style of writing which is clear and informative.

Only lacking in comparison reports and multicar tests..

This book has it all, great photos, informative writing, and a wealth of information. Covers the development of Mopar Muscle from the early sixties all the way up to the Dodge Viper of the nineties. A great source for Mopar fans.

Great starter book for van owner

pictures need more detail; the small parts are hard to identify for the novice mechanic.

I bought this book because my '89 Daytona 2.5L N/A TBI was being a bit tempermental, and because I figured now was a good time in my life to start handling my own car repairs, within reason. While this book does do a pretty good job going over basic systems, troubleshooting tips, and so forth, the information regarding the 1989 models ('87 and '88 too I assume) is lacking. There is almost no diagram in the book that matches what can be seen under my hood, and that's a little troubling when you don't know where everything is by sight yet, or what the names of everything are. However, once I became more familiar with my own car, I could more readily translate the information specific to the '85/'86 models (which appears to be the concentration in this book).

Buy this book if you do any repairs on your own, for the simple reason that, even though it leaves a little to be desired for the late '80s models, it's the only good book out there.

The repair manual, Dodge Daytona and Chrysler Laser : 1984 Thru 1989 All Models Automotive Repair Manual (1140), is good for if you are doing most repairs. For someone who is interested in doing something that should be done by the dealership or professional it does not give exact descriptions. I found that with doing repairs that you would do at home it is the perfect thing.

This book has lots of great info.

This is a good book to keep in the car with you, so you have access to basic repair info at all times, although it doesn't go into real depth about how to repair everything.

There's not enough information about the problems that occur when certain "sensors" are not functioning properly. It seems to be a guessing game.

I Love it! its a great book for any owners the sundance

This is a good, easy-to-read description of the Pilgrim's journey to America, their hard winter, and the first "Thanksgiving" celebration. However, I think it whitewashes history a little too much. It virtually ignores the tension that existed between the Pilgrims and Indians. There needs to be a happy median struck between telling the truly wonderful aspects of that first Thanksgiving -- how the two peoples were able to come together, if only for a short time, to share the celebration -- while acknowledging there were difficulties in the relationship between Pilgrims amd Indians. This isn't being "politically correct" -- it's just acknowledging the truth to our children that relationships between those two groups of peoples were not usually easy. Life is complex, even for young children -- they will understand and appreciate being told the full story.

I browsed and browsed before finding a book I felt was proper to read to my two young children about Thanksgiving; this one was it.

I'm not keen on politically correct mush, and this book is not politically correct mush. While it is somewhat vague regarding the hardships of the Pilgrims and their relations with the American Indians, I don't fault it for that; books for young children (mine are 4 and 5) needn't go into such detail as the distrust between the settlers and the Indians, etc. -- that's for later learning.

Overall, this is a great book and I already have recommended it to many people!

This history of the Pilgrims is very complete, given the reading level of the book. It is written for second to third grade students. The story covers the reasons for leaving England, the journey across the Atlantic, the first horrible winter, the meeting of Samoset and Squanto, the help given by the Indians and the Harvest Feast itself. The artwork is nicely done and adds to the content. Second grade students may find new vocabulary and challenging words to read, while third grade students should find the reading easy. A good asset for the teaching of American history to early elementary students.
