Wonderful, warm-hearted story.


Catholicism and Fundamentalism: The Attack on Romanism by Bible Christians
Review Date: 10/30/2011
Helpful Score: 1


Keating details numerous attacks on the Roman Catholic Church. However, he provides little information on the true Catholic position. I wish he would have provided more fuel for apologeticists.


The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions
The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions
Author: David Berlinski

Get ready for a very a very technical read. Berlinski's arguments are not easy to understand. Well researched, but the author's thesis often gets bogged down and lost in the details.

Child again has Reacher doing what he's good at, violence and mayhem directed against the bad guys, and lots of it. Action from New York to Montana with a few plot twists and turns to keep the reader on his toes.

Be ready for a twisted read. Chesterton's logic will require time to unwind. His points are very valid, but he really strings out the arguments.

Wonderful narrative. Some raucous humor and heartfelt sorrow. Thoroughly enjoyable read.


The Grace Effect: How the Power of One Life Can Reverse the Corruption of Unbelief
Review Date: 2/28/2012


Nelson writes a beautiful tale. He personalizes an historical account of the mindset of atheistic nations with his own experience adopting a girl from the Ukraine. He expands on the notion of how the grace of God is very personal, but also spreads into communities and nations through the actions of Christians. While atheists may claim they can act morally, their lack of action in the world community belies their words.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Now that Reacher is out of the service he's back in MS and wrapped up in more hair-raisin trouble.

Excellent. Great travel through the upper Midwest, and typical Reacher: in your face, get results.

Excellent. The travels through Germany and the multiple links to Cold War throwbacks lead to an exciting conclusion.

One of the more complex plots in the Reacher series. Child develops several plot lines that only come together in the final chapters. Better writing than the previous two.


One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Review Date: 7/7/2008


Awesome story. Man's desire to be free comes in many forms, and you find them all in the nuthouse our characters occupy. Many are overcome, but the ones that break free leave the reader with positive emotions of achieving beyond the odds.


The Plains of Passage (Earth's Children, Bk 4)
The Plains of Passage (Earth's Children, Bk 4)
Author: Jean M. Auel

Review Date: 7/7/2008


Auel writes a marvelous novel about prehistory. The story is finely woven with details of Earth in the Ice Age. She could have left out the sex, it detracts from an otherwise excellent tale.


Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism

Wonderful story. I really like the way Scott and Kimberly interweave their stories. This is a personal history, not a defense of the Catholic Church. Hahn scratches the surface leaving me wanting more.

Good data, not smooth.


Shadow Divers: The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II
Review Date: 7/7/2008


Excellent adventure, one of the best books I've read. Not only the diving, but the research leading to their discovery of the truth. True heroism for no reward.

Excellent book, a quick read. The author previews each chapter with a concept then gives examples of how God has worked wonders through the seeming coincidences of life. Have some tissue ready, I cried throughout at the wondrous ways God presents Himself in our lives.
