My husband pastors a church in Shawnee, Kansas. Apologetics is a cornerstone of his studies and ministry. He was delighted with the thoroughness and simplicity of Teresa Vining's book and thought it useful in day-to-day conversations with seekers and skeptics. (I have purchased and given away four copies. Three copies were given to women who desired to firm up what they believed and why.) Most recently, I gave my last copy to a man who had just experienced an exciting conversation with his office associate who was questioning him about Christianity. He was thrilled for the opportunity to encourage dialogue, and he was grateful for the answers provided through giving Ms. Vining's book to his co-worker. I know this book is a great gift in this kind of encounter, because the book invites the reader to make personal inquiry. The information is presented clearly without force-feeding conclusions.

I had the privilege of reading the manuscript before it was printed, which made me all the more anxious to see this book in print so I could recommend it to others. Teresa has really done her homework in answering many questions that assail believers as well as those who have not yet trusted Christ. In addition to being an excellent basic apologetics book, this book's value lies in the insightful questions which, when used with a journal as she recommends, will allow the reader to know WHAT they believe and THAT they believe.

A deeply felt and extensively documented look at the lives and times of these men in Weimar Germany. The author looks unflinching at the Freikorps men, precursors of the Nazis, with all that they have very different from most of us today--and all they have that is all too common with us today. But here I am stressing the conclusion. The point is, he honestly gets his conclusions out of huge amounts of documentation on everyday life. These men represent an extreme, of course, but their motives and life-conditions were very close to many people in the Weimar Republic. It is a great book on that period, which also relates that time to our own.

Examines fascism as a Reichian phenomenon gone awry - the fascist male experiences ego-dissolution in early infancy, finds it threatening, and so builds for himself a "body armor" within which are contained such "female" traits and emotions (unaknowledged) as weakness, fear, guilt, etc. Through repetitive conditioning and a brutal pedagogy, these negative, shadowy perceptions are then projected outward onto the despised classes of scoiety and made to represent the chaotic forces of the collective cultural unconscious. Like Adorno said, "fascism is psychoanalysis in reverse."

Author Linda Turner premiers the new twelve-book adventure Romancing the Crown with THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. Fans of last years' series FIRSTBORN SONS will welcome the return of the influence of Montebello where lives and hearts are transformed. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING kicks off this year's series with proof that the missing Prince Lucas Sebastiani, the firstborn of King Marcus and Queen Gwendolyn of Montebello and heir to the throne, still lives. When proof of the prince's survival falls into the hands of reporter Eliza Windmere, she begins an odyssey that will change her life forever.

Moments before King Marcus announces his successor, given his son's presumed death, Eliza bursts into the palace with proof that Prince Lucas survived his plane crash. The King asks Duke Lorenzo Sebastiani to reopen the investigation. Lorenzo's animosity toward Eliza is understandable, as he believes she seeks nothing but headlines. Nevertheless, he agrees to accompany Eliza back to Colorado to personally investigate the site where new evidence has been found. In return for granting Eliza an exclusive, she agrees to protect the details of the investigation until Lucas can be found.

Turner pens a lively romance in THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. Eliza's determination to gain access to the King and Queen's palace as well as her ethical handling of the facts of the pursuit lend her a strength of character that is at once entrancing and admirable. As Lorenzo's irritation gives way to attraction, his transformations are delightful. Further, one of the best scenes of the books is when he buys "new" clothes at Goodwill so that he can go undercover. Turner's skill at bringing these scenes to life gives the text a vivacious flair.

The first book of such a broad sweeping series must, by necessity, include the tidbits that pave the way for subsequent books. Turner successfully blends many telling tidbits into her narrative, rising to the challenge without loosing the pace and impetus that keeps her own story moving a sound clip with only one or to slight pauses. The fascinating hints at future players and intrigue will certainly keep this reviewer interested in upcoming additions. Highly recommended.

First of all, in order to fully get involved in the story, I recommend first reading "The Firstborn Sons" series. The series includes:"Born To Protect", "Born of Passions","Born In Secret",and "Born Royal". The foundation of the new/upcoming series is built here.

WOW!! Linda Turner really knows how to capture the readers attention so that they're hooked into reading this book. It's part of an upcoming series called, Romancing The Crown. This is my second LT book and I label her as a keeper.

In this story, we are introduced to Lorenzo, a Duke and next to inherit the throne, and Eliza, a reporter who is a journalist with a big heart. The two join forces to investigate the crash and dissappearance of the heir and prince of a country. They follow one lead after the other and along the way they fall in love. Of course neither one is aware of this until almost the end. Do they find the prince?? Get your hands on a copy of the book. TODAY!!

LT is a great writer who makes the characters so real, you begin to feel as if they are friends of yours. I loved this book and I was sorry when I reached the end. I am looking forward to the next installment. I am also going to order a few more of Linda Turner's books today.
Happy Reading!!

Favorite scene with Summer-Trying to save a woman's baby.

Favorite scene with Gavin-Going after Summer.

Together-Telling Summer how he truly feels about her.

This book brings an end to the suspense to 12 book series. It is thrilling to see all the characters once again. Look who gives up a killer and solves the mystery and lets poor gavin off the hook for murder. Gavin finds love in unsuspecting place.

I don't have children, but I found this in a children's asile in my local bookstore and I had to buy it! This is the book I have on my backyard picnic table right now and I read thru it daily and love it! It's NUMBER 1 on my list of books to read right now with summer here. The photos are wonderful; the small editorials are written so that anyone can understand them, and as an adult I don't see the "child -like" reading here, but rather a book that everyone can enjoy and learn from and all of Time Life Books are finely manufactured. For a book I'd rate them as "Excellent Quality" and suggest this along with the other's from this series would make a wonderful gift for children and adults alike. You'll learn alot about gardening, how to attract butterflies or hummingbirds to your backyard; wild flowering, A-Z, way too much to mention.

This book is beautifully designed and well organized. Full color photography enhances each page. It includes basic information on gardening with native plants, planning a garden, attracting birds, butterflies, and other wildlife to your yard. Photographs and desriptions of plants and trees, organized by geographic location, are accompanied by maps, field notes, tips, and drawings of animals prefered by each. Lots of references are included in the back. It may be geared more towards the layperson than the expert, but this book really opened my eyes to the possibilities of gardening. Gardening is not just picking pretty flowers anymore! Natural Gardening a joy to browse through and to read.

Can attest that this is an excellent source for cheap and good paris hotels. Also new edition available published in UK in 1997. See amazon.co.uk search Paupers Paris or ISBN: 0330350226

I used this book from 1986 to 1995. For the most part, during that time interval the book was a gem providing information that generally isn't found in Lonely Planet guides etc. I keep hoping a new addition will come out. I've travelled during the above time period about two dozen times to Paris for business and pleasure, and found Turner's guide to be outstanding independent of your budget.

64 pages, full color, 9 gallery pages. Step by step pictures with detailed text on how to make pens/pencils on the lathe. This book was a must for making my first pen, and a great reference as I have progressed. Pens include: Standard twist (and pencil), Dome-top, Rollerball and Fountain, Cigar pen, Flat-top click pen, Flat-top twist pen, and desk pen.

A very clear and concise presentation of what is required for making excellent writing instuments. Great color photos of all materials and instructions of each step in the selection of woods, and hardware, how to drill, match and assemble the components. The number of ways to varie the appearance of the instruments. He does not go into the discusion of lathes. He concentrates making pens and pencils and the variations that can be created. I have his other book, "UNIQUE & UNUSUAL PENS from the wood lathe" and I refer to them quite ofen for new ideas. I also refer to "TURNING PENS AND DESK ACCESSORIES" by Mike Cripps which I also use

Filled with teachings of peacefully protesting fair laws for all people, David
Adler gives us a picture book of Martin Luther King, Jr. In it, he shares the
early life of MLK Jr, his young experiences with racism and segregation and on
to his dreams as well as highlights some of his well-known protests. In these
protests, he speaks of a world free of hate, prejudice and violence.

This book is a great lesson in history for our children and also covers a few
other events in the plight for civil rights. Casilla's illustrations do a
decent job of giving us a pictorial view of the events chronicling King's life.

The entire "A picture book of..." biography series byDavid Adler is outstanding. Perfect for lower elementary studentsdoing their first real report. Makes a great read-aloud for non-readers as they are easily completed in one sitting. They are loaded with information including a timeline of important dates. The illustrations in this book are not cartoon-like as in his other biographies of Washington or Lincoln, but are appealing to young children.

I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the plot of this story and how Noah could really change Sadie. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes romance stories. You will not be disapointed.

It's a shame that nobody has not submitted any rating or comment on this book, yet. I read this book published in Britain under the subtitle of "heat breaker" and it indeed is. This is the third book of Ms Turner's "Lone Star Social Club" series and one of the best.

I have no idea of William Turner's age, but would guess it to be at least 75. His new memoir, REARVIEW MIRROR, is a fascinating read on a life which spans his early years as an FBI wiretapper and black bagman (he makes clear the activities were illegal), his coverage of the JFK and RFK assassinations, the Garrison investigation and Shaw trial, his Ramparts investigations and his ultimate tour de force (with Hinckle) on the CIA and the Cubans, DEADLY SECRETS.

Had Turner completed his clear-eyed analysis of only one of these historical headliners he would have a secure place in contemporary history. That he was around for all of them (even providing, as a bonus, an excellent snapshot of contemporary Miami madness in his coverage of the Elian Gonzalez insanity) and renders them with reason AND that rarest of all sensibilities, a sense of humor, establishes him as one of our most colorful and intelligent observors of contemporary American clandestine culture.

Does Turner ALWAYS get it right? No. But he observes and writes with eyes wide open (he gives Garrison his due, and at the same time notes his many shortcomings). I wish his volume were footnoted, and a bibliography would be nice. But this is a memoir, seemingly precipitated and structured at least in part by Turner's own staggering FBI file, recently acquired. Proof once again that a good first person narrative (with supporting role by the FBI) is sometimes more startling and provocative than any novel or Hollywood Opus. When such a narrative also enlightens us on our own long-lost history, it is priceless.

Turner wears it well.

---"We won't object/ If he calls collect..."

I woke up to-day with the clock radio - telling me that William Turner had the exclusive proof, that John Kennedy was killed by the CIA, because he might stop the war in Vietnam. As well as; the fact that, Bobby was killed because, if elected he would investigate the killing of his brother John.

For years I tried to work out why I was so deeply affected by John Kennedy's assasination. Was it really as superficial as, the fact that he was a young and good looking man and that he had a beautiful wife? But now, I know. He was a good person, who was going to do a 'good thing' and stop an escalation of stupidity, that for all 'intents and purposes' culminated in the present President - dumbed down and introspective.

So it's nearly official. Thanks William Turner - for the closure on a subject, that could not be convincing via an Oliver Stone film (i.e. You cannot cite a Hollywood movie as proof in a post-graduate thesis). Good work and at low price; a bargain basement read for an important subject.
