This book is a message of hope as well, great in helping understand God's true love for us in the message of those words.

This is a good series of scholarly articles and writings that show the increasing prevalence of aggressive behavior in girls

One of my favorite Ghost stories by the King

This is the first Werewolf/lycanthrope book I've read in awhile and I was totally engrossed by the way that Carl was able to tell a story that was both about humanity and horror. This isn't your typical silver bullet slaying werewolf story and don't expect any teen romance these are vicious killers and the origin is completely human made. Sit back and enjoy the ride of something that is fast paced and a thrill a minute for four humans against a city full of werewolves.

a real spy thriller and tells the true story of Bourne and is what the movie should have been, if you haven't read it you can't beat the impact of the this novel even though it deals with the Cold War era many topics relevant to the here and now.

Rarely do I have trouble getting into a book and have it keep my interest, basically I'm pretty easy to write for and to get along with but Dark Time just threw me for a loop. I don't mind the building up of characters but the truth is that I had no more an idea about the main character even after several chapters of telling just about her killing for the demon and her own inhibitions then her bargain for freedom, then we are thrust into the present where we are suddenly introduced to new characters that we are slowly introduced to and well for me the book didn't grab my attention although I tried to struggle through it hoping for a better story to emerge, perhaps it did I just didn't care enough to read any more of the book after 150 pages.

Good follow up to the movie for those interested in the SW universe it tells the further adventures of Obi-Wan and other Jedi as they try to get save the Jedi that are in the universe. Perfect for adolescent readers.

I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and of the Mandalorians, since seeing Boba Fett in 1980. While these books are written for younger kids I enjoy reading these when I'm between books. I've collected many of the Scholastic books and read plenty of them while not award winning work they are entertaining.

If you enjoyed the Old Man's War this will fill in some gaps as to the Ghost Brigade and if you haven't read it the Ghost Brigade can stand on its own as a great piece of Science Fiction. Scalzi has an imagination and puts it on the page in such a manner that sucks the reader in and takes him/her for a ride.

Thoroughly enjoyable fast paced read. If your expecting something similar to the movie produced in 75 it is far from it. The Dystopian future setting was supposed to be Utopia for the masses but now more and more people are Running from the Big Sleep and Logan intends to find out why and maybe a little bit about himself along the way.

I enjoyed this book and have experienced the eye-opening that Joyce Meyer and her Love Revolutionaries seemed to have just grasped. Understanding that many Christians are only that in name and that there is so much more that we can do for them, while there are many references to her ministry and what it is doing to help in various parts of the world it is understandable to write a book from one's own perspective and it did at times seem as though she were advertising her ministry. Having read other material and watched her program I have seen many positive things come from her ministry and while I have not agreed with all of her writing I believe that this book tells it like it is in the real world of Christians and the Church as a whole. While depressing at times it is important to know what impact we can have in small circles in order to be able to spread the word and works of Jesus in our own circle or friends and family as well as impact the world.

This isn't your typical superhero comic book, not the typical backstory or anything. The story of a Prosecutor who is tired of the system putting the meta-human villains back on the street to continue the reign of terror. She also is the black and white legal mindedness of other heroes or even the gray area of Batman, Manhunter walks a path that is all her own and is not above killing to keep the villain from hurting people again, she also is the most human character in the comic book world with domestic problems, a failed marriage, fights over custody, chain smoking and her extra-curricular vigilantism on top. She also isn't decked out in a thong and bustier to fight crime, wearing armor and a full body suit during her battles and also showing court room battles as well as personal drama in her life makes for an interesting read and a different comic experience

This is a great book for the new Christian or just a reminder for those following the way. I also recommend it for those who have doubts. C.S. Lewis is one of the true leaders in Christian writing.

Loved this book, picked it up at a book sale and waited about 2 years but once I started reading it couldn't put it down. Great premise for a book, it's the Lost World re-examined.

One of Chrichton's best books by far, great for history buffs like me and for those of us who love the sci-fi in their literature.

I think this is what Ken Johnson had in mind for a sequel to his mini-series and the book is actually written in some places like a script. He does go into Nazi history and all in the book to give history lessons but all in all good story and better than the sequel movie. I grew up with the series and remember it just seemed a little too easy to beat them, well this story shows us a menace that has been around for 20+ years and the strength that it takes to beat the enemy.

This is a really well told story of a girl and the end of the world by xombies (zombies with an x) it seems that a virus that infects the human population is spreading at an alarming rate and Lulu and her mother are caught unaware, after her mother is turned Lulu is saved by the man that may be her father and the adventure continues from there as they enter a somewhat safe haven of a submarine shipyard and from there we see a difficult transition as Lulu is hated by many and seen as a harbinger of the ills even as she is given more responsibility by the ships Admiral and her "father" is arrested for treason after bum rushing the submarine and throwing over the "SPAM" (Sensitive personnel and Materials) the twists and turns are good fun and the ending is quite disturbing in this dystopian story.
