Good book!
I really enjoyed reading this book. Well, I'm not really done reading it, I'm halfway through the book, but so far, I really like the book! Everyone should read it, definetly. It talks about many different things. It's basically about the desires of the human heart (taken from a poll of church-going youth) and how God has a specific plan for you to experience each of them. I love this book so far!!!!

If You Love That Lady Don't Marry Her": The Courtship Letters of Sally McDowell and John Miller, 1854™1856
Published in Hardcover by University of Missouri Press (July, 2000)
Authors: Thomas E. Buckley, John Miller, and Sally Campbell Presto McDowell
Average review score:

Great Story. Meticulous research. A "must have" resource.
Buckley's work on the agonizingly long and complex courtship of a distinguished Presbyterian minister (and later Confederate officer) and the divorced daughter of a Governor of Virginia is extraordinary.

The number of letters contained in this volume, PAINSTAKINGLY transcribed from handwriting that is (at least 50%) illegible, is astounding. The story told is compelling for even a cynical 21st century observer of love and life . . . and a rare chronicle of the political and personal impact of 19th-century Presbyterian varying "insights" into the mind, will, and intent of an sometimes angry and always fearsome God.

The notes and bibliography are priceless. They alone make the book a must-have resource for anyone interested in the 19th century history of southern Presbyterian protestantism, women's rights, religious bigotry, Rockbridge County, Lexington and most of the rest of Virginia. . . . . not to mention the geneaologies of perhaps half the population of the entire valley of Virginia.

Detailed, execellent, and pound for pound . . . no better value.

A credit to an editor's labor of love . . . and to the University of Nebraska Press for publishing it.

Jesus: A Biblical Defense of His Diety
Published in Paperback by Here's Life Pub (December, 1983)
Authors: Josh McDowell and Bart Larson
Average review score:

a valuable reference on the deity of Christ
Although this book is now out of print, if you can get a copy it is quite valuable as a reference on the deity of Christ. Because of its clear organization it is easy to read and makes difficult concepts easy to understand.

The book covers topics such as "Jesus Christ Possesses the Names and Titles of God" and then proceeds to expound on each of them one by one. Other sections are entitled "Jesus Christ Possesses the Attributes of God" and "Jesus Christ Possesses the Authority of God." The author defines what the issues are and what is at stake. He covers the witnesses of the early church and has a section on common objections as well as on other views of the deity of Christ. In addition the author gives his testimony on how he discovered new life in Christ through his extensive research in an attempt to discredit Christianity. Intstead of finding out about a religion, he encountered a person - Jesus Christ.

The writing is very succinct and gives the reader a good review of each argument using only the absolute essentials. Because of his writing style you get a large amount of quality information in a fairly short book. It is, however, much easier to read and finish than the author's "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" which seems more like trying to read through a whole encyclopedia in comparison.

The student of the Word will find virtually all of the major arguments for the deity of Christ distilled into bitesize bits that will not require a degree in theology to comprehend. After reading this book I felt very satisfied in the quality teaching that I had received and the short amount of time that was required to invest. If you have not studied the deity of Christ before you will advance your knowledge by leaps and bounds by studying this little book.


Leaving Pipe Shop
Published in Hardcover by Scribner (January, 1997)
Author: Deborah Mcdowell
Average review score:

long lasting pleasure grows from the reading of this book.
McDowell has written a talking book. The dialog brings the people to life and gave this reader the feeling of accompanying the author on visits to her community. Matriarchial society, authoritarian upbringing of children, love and caring, laughter and sadness as well as the events of the 50's and 60's are memorably brought into focus. I urge you not to ignore this little-known gem of a book
