Each poem is a boffo statement of realtalk feelings, unadulterated wha? I'm stoked to the bone by dear Tom's truthtalk, we love you baby! Most readers don't know that Tom Clark once fought for the North American Featherweight title, losing by TKO in the 4th round, and that he played Hamlet on the New York stage! He is most definitely our soul hero, number one. We never shop spamazon, but if we did we'd buy this book!

Donald C. Hodges, a pioneer in the field of comparative revolutions and Post-Marxism, has crafted a brilliant, detailed analysis of the Manifesto. Touching on the forerunners of the Marx's tour de force, Hodges shows that the communist 'spectre' has been haunting the world for much longer than one might expect--from the times of Jesus of Nazareth to Babeuf, the great conspirator, to the present day. Why? The thesis suggest that communism is made credible by its marriage of contradictions and the amendments that would follow its publication--by Bakunin, Lenin, and Marx, himself, to name a few. If you consider yourself at all a student of politics, you must read this book. And seek out other books by Donald C. Hodges, including "Mexican Anarchism After the Revolution," "America's New Economic Order," "Mexico, the End of the Revolution," and titles from his partners, Ross Gandy and Larry Lustig, as well, titles from his mentor, James Burnham.

This is a perfectly charming book, beautifully illustrated and delightfully told, from the opening page to the thoroughally satisfying ending. The story is gently and sweetly told, and the pace and the courtesy of the characters toeach other have captivated my four-year-old grandson. This is one we reach for often.

great book if you have a child that loves reading buy it I will garanteeyou your child will love it. Perents could read it but that is another story. GOOD BUY MY FRIENDS.

This book is a wonderful account of how African-American women made it at the turn of the century. I enjoyed reading how these women made a difference in the lives of the people and children in their families. This book showed me just how strong Black women are. It allowed me to see that they had the strength to go on and face any adversary that came into their lives. Any woman or person facing obstacles in their lives can pick up this book and know that they can makeit. That's what this book did for me. I know that there is nothing that I can't do. It's a book that I will one day want my now 10 year old daughter to rad and pass along to her daughter.

This was an easy reading book that provided purpose to our pursuit of educating children. Teaching for meaning, creating thought provoking classrooms, and releasing student potential are insightfully explored. A great book for teachers, leaders, and anyone interested in education.

Gordon Clark's books are all very excellent. Since he was a professor of logic, his books always deal with the logical fallacies seen in the arguments of others. In this book, he exposes the fallacies seen in the reasoning of Critical Text (CT) advocates.

The CT is the Greek text most modern versions are based on. Meanwhile, the KJV is based on the "Textus Receptus" (TR). But it should be noted that Clark is not a KJV onlyist. He speaks approvingly of the NKJV and the Majority Text (MT). The MT is similar to the TR, while both differ from the CT.

Clark deals with the textual question by looking at select verses from the NT, along with a couple from the OT. Along with showing the logical fallacies in the reasoning of CT advocates, he cites the manuscript evidence and shows how the CT reading is based on a minority of the evidence.

He also occasionally looks at the proper translation of passages. For these he explains that many modern versions mistranslate passages. The problem is, most modern versions follow a dynamic equivalence method of translation while Clark agrees with the formal equivalence method seen in the KVJ and NKJV.

So Clark's position is pro-TR/ MT, pro-formal equivalence. And with both of these I whole-heartedly agree. In fact, I present the same positions in my book "Differences Between Bible Versions." Clark's booklet is a good place to start in studying these issues, and my book will provide much more detail.

This has to be one of my favorite books ever! I just loved the true accounts of all the events that happened to her. Even if you don't like her other novels, you'l love hearing about how she grew up in a 2 bedroom house in the ghetto with her mother, father, and 5 brothers and sisters. And how they struggled to buy simple things in life such as bread and milk. And I cried when I read of how Lois and her siblings had to eat on a rotation(Lois ate every Monday and Thursday). But as you read on, you see that she climbed her way up the ladder and is now a multi-millionare! Also there are some great pictures of her as a child, my favorite is the one of the little girl with the crooked legs. This is an amazing biography and it is definitely worth reading!

Comparing life to a journey is a natural analogy. Both trips have a distinct beginning, a time of passage and exploration and a return. Yet it isn't a perfect analogy, for if we travel in life as we ought we will likely not return to where we started.

L.D. Clark, in LONE JOURNEY AND OTHER QUESTING STORIES has assembled a small collection of varied tales on journeys both internal and external. Sometimes the two merge, the movement in physical space causing or enhancing the movement in emotional space. Some are firmly rooted in realism. Others stray into the side alleys of the mind and spirit.

Some, like "Over Tall Mountain to Short Mountain," result in some tiny measure of enlightenment for the actors. Others reveal the many ways--not all of them viable--of coping with being lost, such as "A Harvest of Weeds" and "The Mountain Lion."

These stories are about passages great and small, those moments in life when we choose a path for reasons that are uniquely personal. Some of those choices are life-changing, turning us in a direction totally new, for good or ill. Others seem minor on the surface, yet carry a suggestion of repercussions yet to come--not change itself, but its seeds.

In "Over Tall Mountain to Short Mountain," a pair of middle class Anglo travelers in search of the perfect Navajo rug encounter a man who understands what they are really searching for. The title story is about a woman's own rebirth as she silently gives birth alone, her solitude her own choice as she searches for her identity apart from those who have always defined it.

Contrasting and complementing these sharp-edged moments of reality is "The Instant of a Wreck," in which the last resident of a dead town hungers for company in the non-life to which he has faded. "A Harvest of Weeds" is a compelling tour of the mind of a man burning with rage and hungry for revenge who watches his preferred self-image shatter irrevocably.

Mr. Clark's tales are most of them rather like Godiva chocolates. Ingested one at a time and savored for their imagery and the glimpses they provide into moments that resonate even if we've never shared the experiences in which they occur, they are a delicious treat. Unlike candy, however, we can enjoy this richness over and over.

Tom Clark got his BA degree in two years and his law degree in one year. Then he went on to become the Attorney General and after that an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. This gem of a book covers highlights from Clark's public career and in doing so nicely reviews the recent history of the Supreme Court. Most of us vaguely realize that real power these days has left the congress, the people, and the executive branch to reside in the bureaucracy and the courts and that important political questions that can't be resolved, more or less, eventually end up in the hands of the courts. If you don't remember Mapp v. Ohio, or Miranda v. Arizona, or Brown I&II v. Topeka, or if you can't explain what the Establishment Clause is, then you might profit from reading this book and discover how and why our legal system came to defend liberty with as much rigor and absolute fairness as it defends life. The author's style is simple and direct but colored by a youthful enthusiasm because, after all, the idea, much of the research, and the writing occurred while the author was still a high school student at Tom C. Clark High School in San Antonio. Great books like this one, produced at an early age, are no accident and indicate greater books to come.
