Frank Grady was a personal friend of my fathers. Maybe because I grew up knowing him, the story made more of an impression on me than it would have normally. But whatever it is, it was a moving story about the resiliency of the human spirit. It is also about the humor, obstinacy and stubbornness; which contributes to that resiliency. Mr. Grady and others like him were true heros. It was an honor to have known him and it is an honor to know more about him through his book.

I have read this book yesterday. It helps me to understand more about your body. I mean in every part of our body. And that's not only that. It helps you to solve your problem in teenage life which is so useful in your life. These problems were sent to this book editor by teenager from all around the world.

I enjoyed this book for several reasons. It is short; yet it is detailed enough to effectively describe the battles in this campaign. It also includes brief profiles of the commanders of the particular conflicts-both Federal and Confederate. And an interesting fact from this Texas Overland Expedition was the presence of six governors of Texas in the two armies.

This story about Texas and a Civil War Campaign all started with a plan conceived in the minds of a group of New England businessmen some two decades before the Civil War and that didn't even take place in Texas. However, when these northerners realized that war was inevitable and that Texas was siding with the Confederate States, rather than give up their lucrative idea, they considered the war to be in their favor. If they could enlist the help of the president and War Department, they could move into Texas under the Union Flag and consequently have the Federal troops to protect their northern settlers. From this nucleus, the story evolved to its climax of the battle. It is good reading.

I have been reading and re-reading this book since 1990 and still can't put it down. Reading about the old days in Waikiki and all the old beachboys fills one with a yearning to go back. What wonderful days they must have been. Thanks, Grady Timmons, for that warm feeling I get every time I pick up your book.

I was instantly pulled into the the novel after reading the first few paragraphs. The story begins with Chiristie McCoy waiting for something. That something is never revealed. A man named DC invades her house and attacks her. Throughout the novel she is determined to find out why, with the help of her soon to be ex-husband Sam. In addition to attacking Christie, DC also kidnaps a little girl named Jessica. There are many plot twists, which always make you raise an eyebrow, and after completing a chapter you find yourself hating DC even more. This was a good read and I recommend this book to anyone who loves to be on the edge of their seat.

Thomas O'Grady's first collection of poems will not disappoint those who have followed his appearances in periodicals. The poems deal in a profound way with real questions, of which the most dominant is the theme of exile from the poet's native Prince Edward Island. There will no doubt be considerable resentment on the part of programmatic readers who hate either the subject matter of family life or the skilled use of fixed forms. Others will find little to object to. The workmanship is fine and the learning vast. O'Grady captures the speech patterns of the Irish diaspora far more accurately and artfully than the bogus and infinitely popular Frank McCourt. The book satisfies the reader in itself and promises other wonderful collections in the future.

By the time I got to page three, I knew I would be up all night, every night, till I read this book to the end. An arresting plot twists around characters so real you fight to catch your breath with them on a rollercoaster ride of conspiracy, betrayal, and murder. These are real people with ideals, hopes, nightmares, and regrets which are tried by fire in the crucible that is White Flame. No one, not even the reader, is left unchanged by the end. Jim Grady's insider knowledge of Washington politics lends a chilling reality to it all. This story is so plausible, you almost expect to read about it in your morning paper. I won't give away any of the plot; you must experience that for yourself. If you like John Grisham, Tom Clancy, or any other writers in the genre, you'll LOVE White Flame. I read one of Grady's previous books, Thunder, when it was first released. If that was thunder, this is lightning!

This book is very short and to the point but it doesn't leave anything important out. It is the true story of U.S. Air Force Captain Scott O'Grady who was shot down in Bosnia in 1995 by a surface to air missile while flying missions for the United Nations forces there. He ejected from his disintegrating aircraft and had to survive and evade capture for six days behind enemy lines before he was rescued by friendly forces.

While not the most harrowing aviation survival account I've read (BAT 21 was much more intense) it is nevertheless a good, solid example of how people can survive if they have the right training, equipment and, above all, the right attitude. O'Grady's account is told in a frank no-nonsense way and he is quick to admit his own mistakes and fears and he quickly acknowledges that the real heroes were the guys who came to get him.

This is a story of a man called Captain Scott O' Grady. He starts off preparing to go on patrol to make sure that planes don't fly in a peace area. While patrolling, he is shot down. He then tries to live behind enemy lines until a rescue team comes. He tries to survive for days off of little food and water, while hiding from the enemy. Six days later, a rescue team comes and takes him back home.

I didn't choose this book. My mother bought me the book for me. After I started to read the book I got really interested in it. I like it because it's a true story, and also because it is full of excitement and adventure. I also liked it because it is about planes.

My favorite part was when Captain Scott was patrolling the airs with his friend Wilber. While patrolling the East, his friend was locked on by a Threat-Radar, the kinds that can give you enough information that you can launch a missile in seconds. Then patrolling that area again, he was locked on a shot down by a SAM (Surface-to-air-missiles). While falling, he ejects very early. he then activates his parachute manually, and waits for his seat to fall off on its own. While he falls he directs his chute to try and go to a forest where he can hide and wait.

I loved this book. I have read it 3-5 times. My goals and ambitions is to be a F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter pilot in the Air Force the same as Capt. Scott O'Grady. I admire this guy. I admire his will to survive and his will to live. If I should ever be in his situation I will remember everything that he did to survive and I will not give up even if the going gets tough. Thanks Scott for telling us the true story from your point of view. I know it was a hellish ordeal but you survived and that is the most important thing.

This book inspired me to fulfill God's calling on my life. At
times I struggled with the role of women in the church and wondered what certain scriptures really meant. This book helped me to discover that God intended women to be a part of his kingdom - not just to serve men food on a Sunday brunch or to be quiet. We have a voice that is God inspired that needs to be heaard. This book invites change in the church without encouraging revenge, or anger towards men. It opens the common person's eyes to the cultural situation throughout the text and how that affects the interpretation of the Bible. I appreciate the truth being displayed in love and it is a "must read" book for all women struggling to find their role in the body of Christ.

My husband saw the book, 10 Lies the Church Tells Women in a magazine for men. He showed me the ad knowing it would bring a smile on my face and knowing I would buy several copies to pass out to my friends and enjoy countless hours of chit chat about "gender issues" which has become a joyful pastime of mine. Why my order arrived, I expected to read it quickly and add it to my growing library of similar books- all confirming my own belief about mistranslations and a sorry waste of kingdom resources. After reading the first few chapters I was surprised by a new reaction. It wasn't disappointment, or anger, or a cheerleader rush of enthusiasm, or unbridled self-justification, it was a soft, wistful feeling as if I had just seen a baby eagle take its first flight. The feeling was airborn, carried on wide, invisible currents, something of freedom and wide open spaces, something lofty and stirring. Could it be the same feeling I get when I read Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem, "The Windhover"? Mr. Grady says that because of its stand against inclusion of women, the world looks on the church "as ignorant, insensitive, and irrelevant." If that is true in the public world, how much more is it evident to those who know first-hand the irrational excesses of pompous patriarchs. Maybe there was a time to defend the "honor" of the family, but now everyone knows the public counts of DWI so let's be honest and own up to the need for intervention. The pop Christian culture is an addictive organization in piteous denial of its closet actions and no one misses the smell of alcohol or the tell-tale signs of bottles left in the trash. Like Elvis impersonators, pop church tries to preserve the memory of Christ in a tedious and predictable manner. It wouldn't be so sad if Jesus were really just a good ole boy now lying 6 feet under, but I shudder to think about Christ watching what goes on in real estate that carries his banner. Like a ranting, sometimes passionate drunk on the street corner, the pop church invites sympathy and care, but no longer respect, no longer serious dialogue, no longer costly commitment, no longer much to hope for. The question to ask is not whether the information is true in this book, but for whom these truths can be heard. I wonder who has ears to hear? Not my friends from church. Not people who shop at the Family Bible Bookstore. Not everyone wants to hear that the prison door sits open. Not everyone wants to know they can live full, free, completely redeemable lives. The enforcers are women. The airways are owned by Calvinist groupies. This book may crash on the runway for lack of an audience. Like a person speaking sign language at a Rock Concert, we have to ask who will hear and who will care. Who but God? Through my years of noticing the ones who are undervalued, silenced, left-out, demeaned, and dispensable, I learned to understand the heart of God. I learned to hear how many songs of the church focus on the singer and not the Savior. I notice now how many sermons talk about everything on earth but who God is. I figured out that even in his own house, God is talked about as if her were gone away, or not listening, waiting to be noticed, welcomed, depended on for things besides emergencies, waiting for a friend to ask his opinion, his advice, as if he too had a brain and a heart. So J Lee Grady, in the tradition of Jeremiah, you speak against the Shepherds of God's people. And as Jeremiah spoke the opinion of God in chapter 8, verse 8 and in response to God's wonderment that the people did not turn from sin when they were told their shame, "My people do not know my word for the lying pen of the scribes has turned it into a lie." The word of accusation has been bold and true. Either there will be repentance and restoration, or we will see judgment and shame upon those who oppress God's people and hold back the gospel of peace. I know that you know the heart of God. I see it in your courage to keep the title unchanged even if it presented a bad public image. I see it in your retelling of moments in Christ's life. I see it in your pain at the cost of repression. I see it in your sense of battle between truth and fiction, and I see it in your optimism about the church breaking through its denial and finding the courage to make amends and start the journey to health. I like to think there is a Camelot this side of heaven, but for now it is enough to know that men like you have put on the sword and armor to fight for the right to full involvement in the Gospel of wholeness for my daughter and her daughter. I'm personally past believing in the institutions but you can rest assured that my little network of underground freedom-seekers will have eyes that light up at your book like a thermos of hot homemade stew for the hungry, cold, homeless. God be with you.

J. Lee Grady's "10 Lies the Church Tells Women" is by far the best book I have read on the controversial subject of women in ministry.

Grady's presentation of Scripture is truthful, balanced and insightful. His true-life examples of women's experiences in the church are both compelling and convicting. And his challenge to the church in how we can better understand the issue and support our sisters in the Lord is important.

Whether for personal reading, a small-group Bible study or as a source of research, the book will prove invaluable to anyone interested in studying this topic.

I read "Return with Honor," I thought it was the best book that I have every read so far. It points out how Captain Scott O'Grady survives in unknown territory. That what he did to survive those days out there alone. We as a society can apply some of the same techinques in our own daily life. Such as praying to God and trusting and having more faith within ones self. He points out these positive ideas through out his book. I am planning on reading it a second time. I recommend that anyone out there, that hasn't read it yet. Go and check it out of the library or better yet buy "Return With Honor!"

I had the honor of meeting Scott O'grady and hearing his story first hand. My company had brought Scott in as a motivational speaker. When he told us the story as it had unfolded, there was not a dry eye in the room. Even though I had already heard the story I still read the book. It brought tears to my eyes again. I have read this book 4 times and have cried each time I have read it. I have given a copy of this book to every member in my family. It is a story of faith, hope, trust, survival, strength and a desire to live. It was truly inspirational for me. It's nice to see there are still some people with strong beliefs in God and family.

I am a sixth grader at Seminole Middle School. My reading teacher reccomened this book to me and it is the best book I have ever read.It is about an F-16 pilot named Scott Ogrady who is shot down in the skies over Bosnia,and survives with the will to survive and the help of god.
