I just wanted to say that I strongly recommend these books, and the TV show to girls of all ages. They are so clean, and moral, and just wonderful!

This book has a lot of mystery and suspense and IMHO is the best one in the series! Especially because of all the romantic scenes between Neil and Christy. I also teaches a valuable lesson about acceptance and love.

What separates good coaches from great coaches? What makes aprogram of college basketball successful? What motivates collegeathletes to excel? In almost all cases it's the coach, and over the years Cliff Ellis has made a habit of winning wherever he has gone.

From the beginnings in Cumberland Junior College and South Alabama, to his days with Clemson and Auburn, Ellis has put to together winning program after winning program. Ellis has taken many college players and guided them, taught them and most importantly given them the chance to succeed.

The book is more than just basketball, it's the story of a man who more than coach. As you'll read Ellis is also a teacher, author and very talented cook, the book has some of his "famous" recipes included.

Sports Publishing hits the game winning shot with this inspirational autobiography...you'll find the money is well worth it.

I think this is one of the best futuristic books ever writen, because it is so "realistic". Although it's a litle violent, it has certain "details" that describe so well what our society will probably be. The inoperancy of the police force, the power and the futility of High Society, the horror of poverty and the perversity of common crime is so well told that we actually believe that Michael Marshall Smith went in some kind of time journey and saw the future. I recommend this book to anyone with taste for adventure, science and thriller... believe this book will get into your head.

Wuthnow's book is a thoughtful and well-researched monograph on major trends in American religious experience since the end of World War II. Wuthnow sees the most significant change as being a decline in the denominational divisions that were once so important in American religious life, and their replacement by a huge chasm between liberal and conservative religious sensibilities, a division Wuthnow points out often cuts as much through denominations as separates them. Perhaps his most important contribution is his effort to place this restructuring in the context of larger trends in American society, notably the divisive politics and cultural innovation of the sixties, the changing role of women and the trememdous expansion of higher education that occurred after World War II. He also notes a degree of continuity between the conservative versus liberal division and the early twentieth-century fundamentalist-modernist conflict within American religion. He is careful, though, to explain and contextualize the greater success the evangelical Christian movement has had in building a movement and mobilizing followers than did the earlier and in many ways similar fundamentalist camp. Perhaps one's only caveat here might be that the book raises many questions it does not fully address about the extent to which American culture is becoming genuinely secular, if it is doing so. Written at a high level of generality, the book also leaves one wondering about how the division of religious life into polarized camps of liberalism and conservativism affects the subjective spiritual experience of Americans. In brief, this book is a major and analytical treatment of a topic that remains very germane to how Americans now live and worship; those desiring to understand how American religion got where it is today should read it.

Catherine Marshall's works, while writen for a generation that seems light years from the pressures and priorities of life in the 21st century, continue to be a source of inspiration for their practical faith. In today's high-tech world that continually barrages the individual and the family with more and more information and provides less time for introspection, it is refreshing to read the reflections of a woman who lived a life of faith. Catherine Marshall dealt with the very real issues of personal illness, the death of a beloved husband and life as a single mother in a way that enriched her spiritual life, and she shares with her readers her own story and struggles as well as those of others who have searched to find meaning in life and a personal relationship with God.

John Marshall is THE toy guru, and his opinion is highly respected. This book is no exception. Informative, entertaining, and nostalgia all in one package. Really, not to be missed.

Judy McIntyre is one of the world's authorities on loons. This book reflects not only the wealth of her technical knowledge about loons (written in a very readable style!) but also personal glimpses into the lives of loons from someone who has spent years studying them in their natural environment AND in captivity. It's a fascinating read!

Fantastic Book!! Marshall Miles is at his best when he tackles the most difficult area of Contract Bridge - Competitive Bidding. His book is the latest in a line of excellent resource materials for the advancing player and covers all aspects of competitive bidding. Miles introduces a complete competitive bidding system, which taken as a whole, will answer many of the questions a partnership might encounter during a session. It is well laid out and covers each aspect of competitive bidding in a detailed manner. He starts with some interesting comments on overcalling with 4 card suits, details how both the overcalling and opening sides could deal with various situations including when "Not" to negative double and ends with a chapter on various "Gadgets" available to the serious competitive bidding partnership.
