Wow, finally a factual book about heaven,told in a Novel form. I liked that I could go along with the story line, enjoying it, while learning truths about the "heaven" I learned about in childrens Sunday school. Only as an adult I hadn't been able to add much more to my understanding of it. Believe me there is much more to it than you & I learned in Sunday School. I can grab hold of and hang on to these truths. It would be a great gift-- i gave 6 copies for Christmas.

It seems that the modern idea of heaven is a bunch of wispy clouds and bored angels sitting around strumming their harps. Who would want to spend the rest of eternity in such a humdrum state of existence? In "What the Bible Reveals About Heaven", Daniel A. Brown truly adds the color and vitality to our eternal home that our conceptions of heaven are lacking. He guides us through the context of scripture to show us how the Bible has painted for us a glimpse of a heaven that is beyond what anything in this world can describe. Daniel also brings us back to the whole point for why God created a heaven in the first place... His unfailing love for us. "What the Bible Reveals About Heaven" will help you to see more of the heart of a God who knows just what your heart desires and just how to fulfill it! Daniel A. Brown's book is very fun to read and very easy to understand. He has a way of cutting to the meat of the scripture and how it pertains to heaven with out a bunch of spritual jargon or mythical statements. People who are not even familiar with the scriptures will still finish "What the Bible Reveals About Heaven" with a greater understanding of Heaven and of the God who created it.

This is a great Hebrew lexicon with detailed entries with references to the other semitic languages such as Aramaic, Arabic, Syriac, and Ethiopic. In fact, it even has a biblical Aramaic lexicon as an appendix.

This Oxford edition is much nicer than the Hendrickson one.

Why a lexicon? "In the beginning was the WORD." Word usage is enormously helpful to Biblical understanding. H.W.F. Gesenius (mid 1800's) is acclaimed as the Noah Webster of Old Testament Hebrew lexicons (dictionary). He brings to the Old Testament a wonderful blend of Christian/Jewish background and insight. Be sure to note not only the word you are looking up, but also the words that surround it, for they too often lend very interesting and even uncanny insight (divine providence).

I initially bought this book for a friend of mines who was about to attend university in the fall. However, I after reading several pages myself I found that I could hardly keep it down. It contains life changing short stories and quotes that are sure to make anyone cheerful.

I have now decided to buy a copy for myself.

When the world is so busy and you don't even have time to think, you can go to this book, sit down, and relax and forget all of your worldly concerns. A lot of people in the world today have forgotten what is really important in our lives. When asked that questions all would reply that their family and friends are most important but too many other things always seem to get in their way. This book talks about all the important things in life and is a great book to read over and over. I've bought ten copies and are giving them away to my family, friends and customers. Hopefully, this book will touch many peoples lives and will make the world just a little better place to live. If you wnat your heart warmed and your soul cleansed get a copy of this awesome book today. You won't be disappointed. It should be on every home's coffee table. Can't wait for their next book to be published.

I echo the previous review. This book is very informative, well written, and very comprehensive with discussions on 79 hikes. For anybody interested in the overwhelmingly beautiful and dynamic landscapes of the Commonwealth, follow the suggestions in this book.

Michael Brown's new book on hiking in Kentucky is a well-written, highly informative addition to the short library of must-have books on the outdoors in Kentucky. He's hiked all the trails described himself, and provides good detail with small maps in the book, and GPS coordinates as well. He's a former reporter for the Courier-Journal, and it shows in the clear, engaging prose.

I field-tested the book this weekend with a hike in the Rockcastle Narrows. The descriptions and directions were fully accurate, and the book described clearly some of the route finding challenges on this particular trail.

Highly recommended.

I love this book! It's the third in the "Legend of the golden feather" series and I did all my praising in my very limited English vocabulary under the prequels "Bristlecone Peak" and "The protectors". So there is no need to say more, because everyone reading this either already found the other two books or should immediately search them because this is definitely not a stand-alone story. You will love Jake and Wiley and will close this book with a big grin on your face after finishing. Promise!

Home to Kentucky is Book Three of Dave Brown's "Legend of the Golden Feather Series." A rip-roarin' tribute to the Old West with a modern day allegory. For an introduction to the Series, see my review under Book One: "Bristlecone Peak."

I remember reading this collection about ten years ago and how
much i enjoyed Fredric Brown's worlds. I think that "The Weapon", a short story in this collection, is one of the greatest short stories ever written by anyone, anywhere and a startling anti-war statement. "The Arena" is also a classic and the use of this story for the original episode of the first Star Trek series never really did it justice. I give "Honeymoon in Hell" my highest recommendation.

It's easy to slice, dice, slash, and bash; much harder to take the subtle approach and write something that worms its way into the subconscious and refuses to go away. I couldn't have been more than ten when I first read "The Arena"; thirty-five years later, I still remember it vividly (vividly enough that, whenever I look at a sandbox, I recall the story. How's that for persistence of memory?). It didn't frighten me in the way a horror movie might; it did, however, give me a huge case of the creeps. Bravo to Fredric Brown... and get this book back into print!

This is not only one of my favorite christmas stories of all time, but it was also a christmas tradition through all of my childhood. Each year on christmas eve my parents would hold me up to the trap-door for the attic as I listened to "brown mouse" scampering around above me. I have never forgotten this story, it remains my favorite to this day... wonderfully descriptive, sweet and playful, a must have for any child's collection. If you can find a copy snatch it up!

This is the dearest Christmas book I've ever read. The first time I read it to my daughters, ages 4 and 7, we had to read it again right then and there, because it was so wonderful. I even phoned my ex-husband, their father, to share it with him!

The story is set on Christmas Eve in a large house filled with a human family and a family of mice, including small Brown Mouse who is so young he's never been in the people part of the house. The mice venture downstairs after midnight for "a long night of feasting and merrymaking" and return to their attic home at nearly dawn. The excitment, the sights, and the adventures they encounter make Brown Mouse's very first Christmas one he'll never forget.

The writing is marvelous. You can see, taste, and smell everything the author writes about. I think the story has so much more feeling to it than "... and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...". For instance, the description of the Christmas tree begins like this:

'A tall, tall tree all spicy and green hung with hundreds of twinkling, glittering things of all sorts...' and ends with 'and silvery light trembling on every branch, casting crisscross shadows on the ceiling . . .'

I think this is a delightful book, and I am so glad that it is still in print! I am even getting a copy for my mother, whose absolute favorite holiday is Christmas.

About 28 pages; darling pictures on every other page to hold your littlest one's attention.

I thought this this book was an exemplary piece of children's literature. I remember hearing this story as a kid myself, and I think that children everywhere can be touched with this story in the same way that I was. Enough said.

This book is a joyous read of rythmic rhyme through poetry. The illustrations are deliciosly realistic with a touch of sparkle. I recommend this book for every educator. And parents, your little ones will love the animals and will chime in with the rhyme.

My two boys love this book. Its a childs simplistic version of "How to be a Friend" and it is great. Right on their level and easy for them to relate to. The Arthur type characters are appealing to children and they make the book their choice for the evening and want me to read it again and again :) I have the hardback, it was a great find.

This book is an excellent tool for parents and teachers to use with kids in the often times daunting world of social relatedness. Even kids who are very social would enjoy the way these gentle reminders are presented. Highly recommended for the special needs arena of Aspberger's and High Functioning Autism. Our autistic son loved and responded well to the almost "social story" approach. This truly spelled out a lot of social do's and don't's for him. His typical sister loved it as well. As a parent I highly recommend this book be in every kindergarden and first grade and second grade classroom. I bought several copies.

This book has received an Award of Excellence for book design in the 2001 Southern Books Competition. "Lovely green cloth binding opens to stunning title page typography that sits upon faint leaves. The typographic design is classic without being boring. Details, like the screened-back ornaments on the Contents page speak to the refinement of the design." Congratulations to the author and illustrator, designer Ellen McKie, and the University of Texas Press.

If you are serious about learning more about plants, all forms of propogation, then this is the book for you. It gets technical, but again, if you are serious, then you can figure it out. Comprehensive, well organized, good drawings, good glossary (no pronunciation guide though)and good index. A must have reference. Thanks to Ms Nokes.
