Once again, Professor Cottrell has proven that he is one of our best biographers of radical left intellectuals. As with Cottrell's earlier biographies of I.F. Stone and Nicholas Comfort, this latest biography fills a woeful gap and does so with expertise. Cottrell leads us through the inception and growth of the ACLU, as we follow Baldwin's travels from the east coast to the midwest. This book is exquisitely researched, beautifully written, and passionately conveyed, as Cottrell shares with us the fascinating story of both Baldwin and the ACLU, surely one of America's greatest contributions to personal rights. Cottrell's biography is a MUST for historians, those interested in left-leaning intellectuals, and anyone who is moved by bravery, ideals, and the depiction of fascinating life and times.

This book is a collection of 15 essays on the constitutional rights associated with the Second Amendment. Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America has assembled a collection of writings for Americans who are concerned with the erosion of their basic civil liberties, providing a historic background on how these fundamental rights can be protected from an ever-increasing government. This book is a welcomed addition to Larry Pratt's 1990 little jewel, Armed People Victorious, that recounts the stories of how two countries as dissimilar as Guatemala and the Philippines, teetering on the brink of disaster, turned defeat into victory when the governments recognized that allowing and encouraging the people to form armed militia to protect themselves, their families, and their villages from communist insurgents in the 1980s helped to preserve their freedom.

Safeguarding Liberty will point out the relevancy of the Second Amendment in modern society. This volume should be perused by concerned citizens who abhor violence and crime, and cherish the freedom enshrined in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Martin Heidegger in this decisive work takes a little known author and "confronts" his work with his own understanding of Being as finite. The result is an amazing understanding of the finite human condition as freedon. This is authentic thought that does not wallow in morbidity nor escape to mere rationality or the romanticism of idealism. Heidegger fresh from working out his "Contributions to Philosophy:From Enowing" is fully engaged and moving on. Heidegger, gives adequate cautions through out the work so that our initial enthusiasm is not lost but becomes transformed into a silent "yes" that can refresh us for some time to come. Stambaugh, thoroughly versed in translating for her readers and those that want to read Heidegger, also provides an extensive appendix that is a "gold mine" for rereading all of Heideggers works. This appendix is almost like "notes from the underground". Though Heidegger might not approve of such terms he would nevertheless understand. Make no mistake, Heidegger has not forgotten his own history (son of a sexton) nor the history of Western thought. This history is fully put to the task of working out his own thought, that of Schelling and the resulting transformations in both understand the translator and the reader. If you try to "figure" this work out you will miss the poetry. If you "simply love" this work you may too easily move on to the "next thing" that is exciting. Are you ready?

This is by far the best book I have come accross for breaking down strongholds, and does it through demonstrating the Love of Christ, and the healing virtues of faith in him. The workbook format also helps to apply what is being taught to your own life, so you can not only learn about being healed, but see it happen through the advice given. I believe this book is even better than the authors other famous work "The Search for Significance" (although it to is a great book). For anyone struggling with past hurts, and repetative sins, this book is a must read!

"Shattering Your Strongholds" is the first book I've read that explained the priciples of binding and loosing. In reading this book, I have been able to pray with more power and understanding. I am amazed at the time I wasted trying to pry doors open so I could clean out the closets of my damaged soul area. No more! At first, I wasn't sure I would like the book. I thought it might be one of those devil chasing "in your face" types. Then, I thought the first few pages were slow. But, a foundation always has to be laid if a structure is going to stand! So, I read on. I have learned, through tearing down strongholds with the Word of God, I can have the freedom Jesus promised me. When I read about the uncomplicated way to get rid of the chains in my mind,will and emotions, all I could think of was "I could have had a V-8." If only I had been open to the voice of the Holy Spirit years ago, I would have saved myself from lots of grief -- and brought others out with me.

Liberty Savard has quite an appropriate name for the message she brings. Liberty is what I have. Freedom is mine and I am continuing to break more chains, more bondages and shatter more strongholds.

Anyone looking for a balanced, albeit compassionate, but not mushy, defense of limited government should be directed to read this superb book. All writing is social. For some time Epstein has been having a running dialogue - or shall we say a running battle of words - in his books with apologists for the welfare state such as Cass Sunstein's contrapuntal book The Cost of Rights: Why Liberty Depends on Taxes (1999). Epstein deftly exposes the flawed assumptions of his opponents - that more taxes and regulation do not result in greater liberty, compassion, or even a bigger economic pie. The problem with Epstein's book, as opposed to those of his rivals, is few outside academia may read it. Epstein can sometimes write eloquently - such as when he summarizes the "melancholy truth" that wealth redistribution works for the powerful not the needy with the apt phrase: "there is many a slip between cup and lip." Epstein can out-reason both his opponents on his Left and Right - such welfare absolutists as Cass Sunstein on one hand, and such moral relativists as laissez fairest Richard Posner on the other (Economic Analysis of Law 1998). But his book appeals to the rational and those of his Big Government opponents to the emotional. Unfortunately, few may find Epstein's first chapter on "Two Forms of Skepticism" (which he never really explains) as engaging and may likely put the book down at that point. Epstein explains that this is perhaps the last book in his trilogy (Simple Rules, 1995 and Principles for a Simple Society, 1998) and apologizes to his family for taking time to write a book for which he says they don't entirely approve. I would hope that Epstein would write a fourth book, albeit a dumbed-downed, more emotional and experiential book that would have wider appeal and of which maybe even his family would approve. But then if he did that maybe his compelling arguments for limited government would be diluted and lost. So my suggestion for readers is to plod through Epstein's "inepstein" beginning of his book and you will find it worthwhile. Then again, a classic is a book that appeals to a wide range of readers, and maybe Epstein will someday write us such a book. He nearly does it with this one. Highly recommended.

This book is the first in a series about a band of spies for the patriots in the Revolution, sort of a Days of our Lives meets George Washington. The writing is brisk and the plot interesting enough to keep you waiting to start the next book. A great read for a summer vacation or a snowy day. I have read the series twice already.
