It is unfortunate that this book is now out of print. I bought it several years ago and it was a wonderful learning experience to read it. It does not simply show how Islam is "wrong", but it is written froma Christian perspective, so it does effectively compare and contrast these two major faiths.

Beginning with some simple facts about Islam's beliefs and practices, it moves into various ways that an Christian can effectively dialogue and witness to Muslims. There is an emphasis placed on understanding where they come from and how to reach them on their turf.

There are so few well balanced books on Islam and we needws more books like these!

i read this book a while back and found it to be a good start to this subject. the book does a good job of describing the experience of those involved in the desert war, which is the main focus of the book. although i search for more technical detail, this is certainly a good book to put those details into a more rounded perspective.

Instead of reading from the beginning, I started with The Red Rover first. I enjoyed it immensely; it was filled with sailors' superstitions, eery encounters with unknown ships, and many tales of the 'unexplained' occurances on sea. There were wonderful descriptions from Cooper that appealed to the senses. The Red Rover is a page-turning tale of suspense. The reader is left to ponder over the identity of the captain Red Rover and the nature of his near magical power over his men, yet Cooper gives the reader a slap in the face when we realize that it is our hero, "Wilder", who is not what he seems! The story continues and ends with more identity-revealing. I finished The Red Rover with a dazzled mind, and then turned to The Pilot. Expecting more intriguing tales of the sea, this book was a let-down in that it nearly focuses on two young lieutenants trying to kidnap their lovers from England and whisk them away, back to America. Redeeming the tale slightly is the vague pilot himself, never named, but patterned on a heroic and rather "chivalrous" John Paul Jones.

From the book jacket, "Inspired by _The Last of the Mohicans_ by James Fenimore Cooper," _Last of the Breed_ is part of the "Adventures of Wishbone" series. Wishbone, a perky Jack Russell Terrier, connects modern-day events with books he remembers "reading." In this particular adventure Mr. Leon King, a local real estate developer in Wishbone's home town of Oakdale, wants to build a Tastee Oasis fast-food outlet on the edge of the town park. He gets permission to do so, by nefarious means, from the Oakdale Town Council. The moral of the book, from which Wishbone draws parallels to Cooper's novel, is that the land is important and progress (in the form of fast food outlets) isn't measured by paving over every available inch of landscape. What is especially impressive about Steele's treatment of _Mohicans_ is that he is truthful to the original. He does not gloss over the violence (he includes a throat-slashing and the Massacre at Fort William Henry), nor does he try to change the ending of Cooper's novel. Wishbone even says, "I had forgotten how sad the ending of this story is. Let me just take a moment..." before moving back to the "triumph" over Mr. Leon King. _Last of the Breed_, while certainly not a substitute for Cooper's _Last of the Mohicans_, is certainly a good primer for reading Cooper's novel. Moreover, it treats readers, both children and adults, to a throughly enjoyable ecofriendly story. Well done, Wishbone!

This book is an excellent example of how the former Chief of Canada's largest Police Force slugged it out in the trenches solving interesting, and sometimes gruesome crimes. Anyone who lives in or ever has lived in Toronto, can easily relate to this book.

This little book contains a very good summary for the layman of malt whisky production and details on some 24 producers. It is especially good for anyone who will be in Scotland and has the chance to visit a distillery. The book is truly "little", it is 6" x 4" and 60 pages long; it fits in a pocket perfectly for travelling and makes a good companion while in Scotland.

I enjoyed the audio versions of Lois McMaster Bujold's books so much that I started looking for others by the same reader (Michael Hansen). I had never read the book and wondered if it would be hard to grasp audio only. Not so! The plot starts to thicken right away and the characters keep you in the book even cut up into "drive sized" segments (I listen in the car on my way to work). I found myself driving home the long way or going on unnecessary errands to finish up a segment/chapter. I finally gave up and brought it in the house to listen to the last few cassettes in a long [session] because I couldn't stand the suspense of figuring out "who done it" A great mystery/slice of gritty life book and the audio tape is superb!! Plan a long vacation drive so you can listen to it in one sitting.

After the murder has been committed, the author spends time giving us the backgrounds of the three principle characters. Even if you aren't a history fan, don't skip these chapters because they'll help you understand the account of the actual trial. This is the story of a talented and intelligent woman who finds both the courage to leave and divorce her abusive alcoholic husband and to fall in love with a brave and decent man in spite of she went through. Then she loses her true love when her scum ex kills him. The chapters on the trial were difficult to endure because the defense team was so slick and the prosecution team was so lame. I was so angry with the prosecution team because they didn't even try to counter the defense team's "sanctity of marriage" ploy with the theme that no one on the jury would want to have his sister or daughter married to a drunken brute such as the defendant. Thank goodness the book tells us what happened to these people! ! after the trial, or it would be very depressing to read. I like the fact that the author gives us so many actual quotations from the original sources. I *really* hate books which are supposed to be factual accounts of true crimes but the authors include thoughts and dialog that are pure speculation because there is no reliable source for that information! Don't let the fact that this murder and trial happened over a hundred years ago stop you from reading it. Similar stories are happening today. Ann E. Nichols

this is a pretty safe book also but it seems like(to me) that he kinda went astray with it a little,it's all pretty much common knowledge and I recomend his other books before this one.but you should have this one for you magickal library anyhow.
