This is a super book, A must in every CART fan's book collection. Just a shame it had to be written.

When you combine the writing skills of Gordon Kirby and the legend of Greg Moore you get an outstanding book. There must be some really great racing going on in heaven. Although no book could do justice to Greg's life, this book comes close. I love everything that Gordon writes and this book is one of the most highly prized. This book is mandatory for any true Cart fan.

It's an awesome review on Greg's life, with hundreds of color pictures... It tells the story beautifully. A must for every Greg and CART fan.

This is a tiny book with a big heart. The author tenderly shares her journey through grief with us, as she shares illuminating Bible passages, and pages from her journal, as she slowly heals from the death of her husband. I am not a widow, but bought this book for two recently widowed friends, and they both loved it. The author's insights are helpful when dealing with any loss, which everyone will face eventually.

What an encouraging and honest book - Ms. Moore's candidness is refreshing and helpful - She doesn't provide the reader with trite sayings or empty cliches, but rather, tells her own story and backs it up with helpful scriptures to meet each need. I have never seen such a clever idea for a book, either. This is a "must have" for anyone who has ever suffered any loss. It definately rates 5 stars!!

This little book is a real nugget for your Christian bookcase, and one you will turn to repeatedly. In heartbreaking, pithy, "real" language Phylis Moore openly shares her grief, allowing the reader to hold one's breath when realizing her pain, to cry with her, and to see her reach for and take in the hope and promises and comfort our Lord God so lovingly offers His children. With love, Phylis willingly opens her raw, bleeding heart to the reader, knowing the benefit and healing it will bring. This quick-read will be read often by both the newly hurting and the caring Christian worker who seeks to comfort and better understand the pain a newly widowed person is going through.

I read Beth's book after I finished her bible study "A Womens Heart" and just like the bible study I was truly inspired not only the poetry but just her introduction was an inspiration to read. I look foreword to attending her bible seminars. GREAT JOB BETH!!!!

For those who have done an in- depth Beth Moore Bible Study, this book is a compilation of her wonderful poems from her journal writings. Beth has a unique way of writing that reveals her tender heart toward the Lord and causes you to evaluate your own relationship with the Living Lord Jesus Christ. THINGS PONDERED FROM THE HEART OF A LESSER WOMAN would make a great gift for anyone who has sought the heart of God through a Beth Moore Study.

I have been extremely blessed to have had the oppotunity to do ALL of Beth's In-depth bible studies. They have blessed our area woman greatly. This fall Beth we are looking forward to doing your new In-depth study on Isaiah !!! Beth 16 of us here up north are being blessed. I have bought your poem book and loved it so much I gave it as gift. GOD BLESS YOU BETH MOORE and keep the books coming and we will keep studying !!!We LOVE YOU :) :) :) Sharon

I read Beth Moore's book after experiencing two miscarriages and trying to get pregnant for the third time. Her Godly approach to motherhood made me realize that God gives us children as gifts and blessings - regardless if it is for a few months in utero or for decades on earth! She gives a personalized insight on how to try to raise children to love Christ - in a world that often makes that difficult! I would highly recommend this book to any woman - moms, daughters, moms-to-be, or as I was when I read it, a mom wanna-be!

This wonderful little book about Beth and her husband going thru empty-nest made me feel a wide range of emotions. She is a brilliant writer and always amazes me how she can be a faithfull follower of Jesus but still have so much FUN!! What a refreshing christian woman..Buy the book.. you won't be disapointed.. Beth allows you a 'peek' into her private life. If you have taken a bible study that she wrote you will get snapshots of her life.. this book fills in the holes a bit..Great reading!

This is another winner from Beth Moore but very different from her other Bible study writings. This is a more personal look into her own family life and is an absolute must read for any mom. It is written from an empty-nester's point of view, but as a young mom of a two and four year old, I found it so comforting, inspiring and uplifting. I know their time with my husband and me is short, but this book helped me have some perspective. When you have young children close in age, sometimes the days are long and tiring, but this book has helped me see things in a new light. I want to have many feathers to reflect upon when my precious ones leave this nest. Well, blessings to all who read this; I hope it has been helpful, and please do read this sweet book!

This book is one of the funniest books I have read. I have tested this book on both Jews and non Jews, and they all laughed themselves to a near death experience ...

I have got so much laughters out of it, I'm considering conversion :)

This book has everything an extremely reformed jew needs to be. It is extremely funny and even if your not a reformed jew or not a jew at all, you'll laugh untill you can't laugh anymore. I recomend this book to everyone

My wife and I laughed ourselves silly. The fact that we are of the persuasion of the the book's title probably has a little to do with this, but anyone would enjoy this book. Even (especially) if you happen to already be a reform Jew, don't pass this little book up.

Something should be said that this was a very emotional and touching novel. Although it was fictional it seemed to real. It had real life experiences as if it was a true story. Some of the things touched home to me because I could definitley relate to them. For those who havent read this book you are definitely missing out on one of the most wonderful books around. And if you have read it then you know what Iim talking about.

Yes boo you are definitely Solid Gold. Hey by the way my name is Ricky Boss but my friends call me Rick. So how long did it take you to complete your novel? Are you working on another one. I know they say men arent suppose to be soft but I actually sheded a tear or two in the book of yours. Well be happy and healthy and keep writing those Solid Gold books. You look like a sweet person on your picture of you in your book. And I love that smile. Stay Sweet sweetheart and I look forward to your next book.

This book was great from beginning to end!! And most of all it was a definite page turner. It had an AWESOME unexpected ending!!

If you are a fan of the Lone Ranger, movie serials and/or Clayton Moore, this is a must read. Moore is quite possibly the only movie serial star alive today. He provides a wealth of inside information on how they were made. His insights into the production of the Lone Ranger series is also quite facinating. His feelings on portraying the Lone Ranger come across as sincere and genuine. He also seems to be a very pleasant person and a real pro. However, what keeps the book out of the five star rating are a few details that he skips over. For example, he glossed over why he was replaced by John Hart in the role of the Ranger for a year. I think there is more to the story. Moore also describes his longstanding friendship with Tom Neal. I would have been interested to learn about Moore's feelings about the murder that Neal committed in the late 60's. Maybe that kind of sordidness doesn't belong in a upbeat and positive book like this. All in all, a great book that must be read by Lone Ranger and serial fans everywhere.

Massive doses of nostalgia are guaranteed upon reading this book. Clayton Moore takes us on a ride to the thrilling days of yesteryear in a very pleasant account of his days as The Lone Ranger with many anecdotes and behind the scenes stuff. The book not only covers the TV series, but life after the series making personal appearances and continuing with the tradition of living up to the high standards set by Moore's masked alter ego. Of special interest is the part where Moore talks about his feelings with the movie The Legend of The Lone Ranger and the period of time when he was forbidden to wear his mask in public. Highly recommended to all fans of The Lone Ranger.

Clayton Moore's book is a treat for aging baby-boomers who still return to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Even with his respectable work product as a B movie actor in the '40s, Moore ("Jack" to insiders) was relatively unknown when he first appeared as The Lone Ranger in TV's version of the classic radio series. The best parts of the book are the behind the scene details of the famous TV show. Moore recalls his friendship with Jay Silverheels, a full-blooded Mohawk whose real name was Harold J. Smith. Tonto's dialogue both annoyed and amused Silverheels. Silverheels joked about it with Moore, but he also worked to improve the film image of Native Americans. Two horses portrayed Silver. We also learn the story of Lone Ranger Rock, featured in the opening sequence of the show. For decades, Moore made personal appearances in character. Wherever he traveled, everybody loved him for what he meant to Western folklore and us. He was careful to preserve the integrity of the image in his private life. In a conspicuous public relations blunder, The Wrather Corporation, because of a new movie (circa, 1980), took Moore to court to prohibit him from wearing the mask in public. Loyal fans united in protest and stayed away from the box office in droves. After the film flopped, Moore got the mask back. Moore says he knew there was a private person besides the public image, and that he was careful to keep the two identities separate. Regardless, Clayton Moore was that masked man. Recommended reading for nostalgia buffs and generations of loyal Lone Ranger fans. ;-)

Star Trek - The Next Generation: First Contact a novel by J.M. Dillard based on the film Star Trek: First Contact story by Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, and Ronald D. Moore is a book that combines one of the Federations greatest threats the Borg with Earth's first warp flight and the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew.

As the relentless Borg work their way toward Earth, the only hope to stop them rests with the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew. Now, the Borg are even more dangerous... stronger and have a devious plan. As the Borg begin to launch their plan of attack against the Federation, a startling confrontation will take them back in time as Earth's first warp space flight is about to take place.

This is a fast paced book and the narrative is spot-on as the character-driven plot makes its way throughout the book. We read about Zefram Cochrane and the Phoenix on the eve of the first warp flight from Earth, the relentless Borg and their Queen as she now wants the U.S.S. Enterprise for herself and of course the "First Contact" with the Vulcans.

What I found to be a most pleasent surprise was that between the book v. movie is that the book gave far more detail. As you read about the characters you get a feel for their emotions and their train of thought. Of course, there are scenes in the book that weren't in the movie, making the book flow much smoother.

The book works on detail and the characters are robust and this makes the story engagingly fascinating... the Borg say, "Resistance is futile," that may have been so, until they came in contact with the Enterprise and her crew. Another wonderful feature in this book is the color pictures of the movie and there is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film.

This is an excellent book with a lively portrayl of vivid characters.

'FIRST CONTACT' IS A WONDERFUL STAR TREK NOVEL. IT EXPLORES THE FEDERATION'S GREATEST ENEMY - THE BORG. THE NOVEL VERSION HAS MUCH MORE DETAIL/MATERIAL THAT IS NOT FOUND (BECAUSE, I AM SURE, OF TIME/LENGTH ISSUES) IN THE EQUALLY WONDERFUL MOVIE. (ALTHOUGH, I WISH THAT THEY WOULD HAVE INCLUDED IN THE MOVIE DENISE CROSBY [THE LATE, GREAT LT. TASHA YAR] MAKING A CAMEO, OR EVEN USING FLASHBACK MATERIAL FROM THE TNG EPISODE 'THE NAKED NOW', WHEN DATA IS MENTALLY RE-LIVING TASHA YAR'S SEDUCTION OF HIM WHILE SHE WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE PSI 2000 VIRUS.)

'FIRST CONTACT' IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BUYING THE HARDCOVER EDITION (AS OPPOSED TO THE SOFTCOVER) IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO KEEP THIS NOVEL. THE COLOR, GLOSSY PHOTOS (ESPECIALLY OF THE BORG QUEEN) ADD AN ENTIRE EXTRA DIMENSION TO THE ALREADY-EXCELLENT NOVEL. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY STAR TREK FAN!!!

J.M. Dillard once again, in Star Trek First Contact proves why they go to her for the movie novelizations. This is the perfect accoutrement to the movie. It gives us great incite into what the characters might've been thinking. It also gives us some of the scenes that were left on the cutting room floor. Again, a great book that should definitely be read if you've enjoyed the movie!

I randomly picked 'Blind-Sighted' off the book shelf, interested in blind characters in fiction. I got an amazing coming-of-age story that I could relate to in so many ways. Kirk is basically an extension of myself as I found so so many similarities between himself and I. I love this way this book is written, in a style that resemble my writing style. I just connected with this book in so many ways. I'm 16 years old and gosh, I just wish I knew more about Peter Moore or could contact him. I couldn't give enough praise to him for how much I connected with this book.

Kirk is a 16 year old that is used to doing things his way. You get the sense that he has raised himself. His mother drinks and is neglectful. The story picks up when Kirk is taken out of honors english and placed in another class. There he meets new friends(one will be his girlfriend). Outside of school, he gets a new job, reading to a blind woman. His life is looking up, until his mom decides they need to get out of that town. She leaves to check things out. Kirk, is now alone at home. He now has to deal with the house, a new girlfriend, feelings for an older woman, and then ther is school.

This is an excellent story. Kirk is a good kid faced with not so perfect circumstances. I found myself "rooting" for him, as I read.

Our grandaughter raved so much about Peter Moore's book, "Blind Sighted", that we had to read it. This is a terrific book! the characters are real and always exciting. It obviously can be enjoyed by more than one generation. We are looking forward to the next book by this promising new author.

This is a collection of Alan Moore's first Swamp Thing stories, and are amongst the first comics to be published for adult readers by a major comics publisher. The stories do lack the sophistication and literary merit of Moore's best works. And, of course, Moore's ingenious reinterpretation of the character's history will mean nothing to those who had not been fans of Swamp Thing before Moore took over, but unlike most collections of comics about a popular character, this is irrelevant. These stories work well on their own as brilliant entries into the horror genre and can be enjoyed by readers of such authors as Clive Barker.

The illustrations by such artists as Steve Bissette, John Totleben and Rick Veitch are still masterpieces and remain superior to most of the artists who are popular today. Unfortunately, the art in this collection suffers from changes in printing techniques since the stories' original publication, leaving the colours a bit too bright and garish in contrast to the moody story and artwork. However, it is difficult and expensive to get the originals so this is something one can live with.

When Alan Moore came to DC to write SWAMP THING, he had already made a name for himself in England with 2000 AD and his early works, including "V For Vendetta," "The Ballad of Halo Jones," "Marvelman" (later renamed "Miracleman" when published here in the States), and more. But it was his legendary work on the SWAMP THING series that broke him into the big time and made the name "Alan Moore" synonymous with "genius" amongst conic book fans.

SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING is a reprint of Moore's first story arc of the series (issues #20 through 27), the groundbreaking series that shook the entire comics industry. This was the first mainstream series to defy the archaic, outdated Comics Code (Marvel had done it earlier with Spider-man's drug issues, but this was the first series to abandon the Code completely); it was the first step towards "serious" mainstream comic books that catered more towards adults (and gave birth to DC's "Vertigo" line); it took an old has-been DC character that no one knew what to do with and breathed new life into him; and it also gave us a pair of wicked stories that are a sheer delight to read. Swamp Thing discovers his "true" origin in the saga of "The Anatomy Lesson," and he meets a horror from beyond death in "The Monkey King," while encountering several "minor" DC characters who had never been cast in the way they appeared in this series. (Moore's virtual re-writing of Etrigan the Demon sparked a new interest in the character, leading him to several spin-off books of his own.) And we mustn't forget the fantastic, haunting, beautiful, terrifying artowork of Steve Bissette and John Totleben, who made the pages fairly glow with life, as they turned the "swamp" world of the Swamp Thing into an eerie, beautiful, mysterious realm where life and death hide in every pool, waiting to spring out at you.

This book comprises the first half of an unforgettale comic book saga, laying the groundwork for a horrific tale that would cliax with a journey into Hell itself. When paired with the second reprint volume of the saga, "Love and Death," SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING shines as an early example of the genius of Alan Moore, the man who nearly single-handledly took the genre of mainstream comic books and turned it into a "serious" literary art form.

This is where it all begins. When the first story in this collection ("The Anatomy Lesson") was published, the industry and fandom was completely blown away. Alan Moore took a throw-away character (the Swamp Thing) and a forgotten villain (Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man) and founded an entire genre of comics that had been long forgotten (or at least neglected) since the 50s or so.

DC's Vertigo line, the Sandman series, and very likely, Watchmen all would have likely never happened without the series of comics reprinted here. There is some truly frightening material in here that is unlike most comic fare aimed at younger readers (or at least sanitized for younger minds), but the writing was revolutionary for its time and holds up well today. The artwork maintains the high standards of excellence Moore establishes. The partnership of Alan Moore and Stephen Bissette is one of those magical pairings that occurs so infrequently in comic history (I compare it to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby on the Fantastic Four, Chris Claremont and John Byrne on X-Men, and Marv Wolfman and George Perez on Teen Titans). This is truly a treasure to add to your collection.
