I thoroughly enjoyed reading this work! Though I read it in it's previous edition under the title "Two Cities, Two Loves," Boice handles the idea of Christians in culture very well, and with a good exegesis. I wish all Christians would take what Boice has to say seriously, and consider the implications!

"The Fragrance of Sweet Grass: L.M. Montgomery's Heroines and the Pursuit of Romance" by Elizabeth Rollins Epperly exposes many insights about Montgomery's literary works. Most interestingly, Epperly connects home, self-awareness, and romance. Home is where you discover yourself. Not until this discovery can the heroine go beyond herself to recognize her male counterpart. The heroine establishes herself so she can find a hero equally self-aware. Epperly makes the point that although Montgomery subverts convention by having self-aware, independent women not marry until later in life, they do marry and thus conform to convention. Therefore, Epperly suggests that in the 1990s we may not see Montgomery as a feminist. However, I believe she is wrong. Montgomery is a feminist because her heroines are stongly aware of what they can do. Montgomery gives them choices of career, family, or both. Epperly gives an excellent analysis of Montgomery's work, although I do not agree with everything she posits. The book is thoughtful and interesting, providing insights for further investigation.

This Volume covers the first four years after the Hicrat. Among various excurcios to neighbouring tribes or caravans the volume covers Badr and Uhud battles. Marriage of Mohammed (AS) to HZ. Aisah, conflicts with Jews in the city of Madina. Tabari uses Ibn Ishak, Ibn Hisham as his sources and time to time provides variant stories on same subject with chain of isnads. Contrary to his Tafsir, he does not say which one is more acceptable to him. The translators have some preface and time to time expalanatory commentary in Fine Prints which I found most of them unacceptable. I did not appreciate sometimes their twisted opinions in a book which is supposed to be a translation. But again I appreciate their work for making this book available to English readers.

This was the first of the Choose Your Own Adventure books that I ever read, and I loved it. That was about fifteen years ago. I am currently trying to hunt all of them down and add them to my collection, because I loved them so much growing up.

These books are perfect for a younger reader. They are not straight novels. They are not 300-400 pages long. In fact, some adventures can last about 3 or 4 pages! They are not filled with big words, and they are not boring. In fact, they're aimed at pure action and adventure, yet they're not violent at all. There's little plot and character building, which is something that might turn a younger reader off.

Plus, as small as each book is, they contain numerous different stories. It is up to the reader to decide how the story ends. It is Nintendo in book form!

In this particular book, you are investigating a mysterious house. Who owns the house? What kind of strange things or people will you encounter?

If you are looking for material to encourage a child to read for any reason, these books are perfect!

This book is an knowledgeable source of microcosm and deals with short stories also essays. It is my advise for students to buy it before Grade 11. You would have an A if you read this book and look up unfamiliar words.

Short, concise, to-the-point information with wonderfully reproduced portaits of Flagg's work. Flagg had his thumb on the nation's pulse and stayed a few steps ahead of its desires and passions. His work has inspired countless partriots and Americans alike. It did then, does still today, and this book ensures it will tomorrow.

Despite the rather offputting title, this book is actually pretty good and informative. It doesn't contain pictures, but it does take a rather unique approach from a parents perspective covering things such as managing expenses that seems very useful and could save lots of hassle and mistakes. Covers a wide range of topics and contains lots of information.

This was a cute book, and I would reccomend it.

This is a little gem for lawyers and theologians alike. It takes up legal themes as understood by lawyers and interrelates them back to Biblical matters. Montgomery is both a lawyer and a theologian and thus has a good grasp of both the juridical and theological issues. He explores the three functions of law in Christian theology, and then takes up various topics, such as contracts, wills, trusts, criminal law, torts etc. In each topic Montgomery seeks to interrelate theological insights into the law. His purpose is to encourage lawyers to think holistically about the law from the standpoint of Christian commitment. An excellent primer for law students, lawyers, para-legals or theologians who are concerned to integrate their Christian faith into jurisprudence and legal practice.

i love pop-ups and this book is another one for the collection. this book proves that pop-ups can be both enjoy by children and adults alike.
