"Immortality Isn't Forever" is the first volume re-presenting Eddie Campbell's classic independent comic book series "Bacchus". Campbell (known as the creator of "Alec: The King Canute Crowd", and illustrator of Alan Moore's "From Hell") explores the life of Bacchus (Dionysus), the god of revelry as he roams from bar to bar, drinking only wine, and bittersweetly reminiscing about the days when the Greek and Roman gods were in their prime. Campbell not only offers a new story - a gritty and sometimes humorous fantasy out of the 80's, but smoothly integrates re-tellings of the ancient myths, miraculously without them sounding forced or unwieldy. "Bacchus" puts perspective on Roman and Greek myths, as well as using them as source material, but is enjoyable regardless of the reader's familiarity with them.

Very useful book. It is written in easy format, direct to the point, explains how to treat injured based on types of injuries, repeating same cautions over and over again that helps a lot to get automatics. There are number of tips given for practical applications and differential diagnosis. Last quarter of the book summarizes all with nice pictures except where author shows checking carotid pulse on both sides of the neck simultaneously suprised me.

A good book but it would be nice if there was a self test at the end of each section. Not happy with the method of placing a suspected spinal casualty on the board. If the board was placed one third above the head it would allow the casualty to be slide up and into the middle, instead of pushing the casualty across the board and compromising the spine.

In this very readable book Ben Johnson discusses the ubiquitiy of spiritual questing. He offers techniques to explore the role of God in our lives and ways to become closer to God. I recommend this for the person who is just starting a quest or those that are already on a spiritual journey who would like to deepen their relationship with God.

There are few books about this small Hebridean island, but J.L. Campbell has written a fully detailed book, giving the history of the people who lived on Canna as far back as the 13th century. As well, he explains their leaving and where they landed in America.

This is one of my daughter's favorites, at four months old. It is short enough to hold her attention and she seems to focus very intently on the pictures. It's also very durable, which is great when she wants to grab the book and try to put it in her mouth.

Letty Campbell, chicken farmer, finds it odd that the police are reluctant to rule her neighbor's death as an accident. Her neighbor's niece Stephanie and her husband show up abruptly, and then Letty's lover Anne leaves her for another woman. To find some calm in this personal storm, Letty becomes involved in this burgeoning mystery when some letters are found at her neighbor's which are exact copies of ones left by Letty's deceased aunt. After a tryst with Stephanie, Letty begins to wonder about her motives in relation to her uncle's will. And just what is Letty's aunt's connection to those letters? Fritchley's third Letty Campbell mystery is a delightful story featuring plucky characters that'll charm any reader.

The dead would come back and get you...

The residents of Black Bear Lake thought that evil could never touch such and idyllic spot. But they were wrong.

Thornton Fuller, a young man with the mind of a child, was paralyzed with fear when he told the secret of Black Bear Lake to the children of Rachel Dale and Jay Malone.

Caught in the throws of summer passion, Rachel and Jay savored the serenity of the lake. But soon, Black Bear Lake was anything but tranquil.

Suddenly good was battling evil... and the children's lives were at stake.

Back in 1954, just after the Korean War, long-time missionary to Korea Arch Campbell wrote this work about Christianity in Korea. It is more a series of one-chapter stories and anecdotes about how Christ has changed the hearts and lives of Korean believers than an integrated story.
My only two complaints are that it could use a little more connectedness between incidents, and it could provide a little more biographical information about the author, since he is a participant in several of the events. Otherwise, it is a fine book.
The book includes episodes from the period of Japanese occupation through the end of the Korean War. It includes many accounts of pastors who were imprisoned for their faith, martyrs, and others who suffered at the hands of the Japanese and North Korean armies.
Readers should understand that the picture of Korea and of the Korean church which Campbell describes in the book is drastically different from the Korea and the Korean church of today. The society and the church have both gone through extensive changes in the last half-century.
Nevertheless, the book provides many inspiring tales of transformed lives which are lived solely for God's glory. It provides plenty of opportunity for the reader to do some soul-searching. And may it inspire other generations of Christians--in both the East and the West--to live for God in such a totally dedicated way.

I am not a book reader... In fact, this is the only book I've read in the last 2 years. Forced to stay indoors in blizzard conditions on a 1998 ski trip, I found a tattered copy of Cobra Dane in the community lounge, and had a "flick" through it... 3 days, and several bottles of bourbon later, I'd finished the book, and was left wanting a sequel. It is a great book! A real thriller, that is truly believable...
