Conversations with the Voiceless : Finding Gods Love in Lifes Hardest Questions
Review Date: 3/7/2008


Wonderful book. Very insightful and inspiring though it describes great struggles and suffering. The author has experienced a tragic loss himself, yet offers great hope and comfort for the hurting. The "Voiceless" are comatose patients to whom the author, a musician, sings and plays guitar. Heavenly reading about earthly living.

Very well written and informative, but may not be for the faint of heart. Much on the physiological processes of dying and what the body goes thru, but also written with heart and compassion of a surgeon and shares a personal story of loss.

The author isn't the best at writing, but does basically just tell the story of his action over there and the horrors of jungle warfare and all he saw and experienced.


Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted
Review Date: 3/21/2007
Helpful Score: 1


Gripping detailed story of her life with and without (divorce years) OJ and their final months and the attempt at reconciliation. Written by her best and closest friend. Reveals the true OJ and seems a sincere and honest depiction from this woman's perspective. Some details of Nicoles sex life could have been left out in my opinion and were tasteless and unneccesary. Good book for the cause of helping battered woman which she claims Nicole was. Hard to put down and a sad ending of course.

He definately asks the right questions many overlooked. Only God knows what really happened at the time Terri collapsed, but he has some interesting speculation based on certain facts. Good investigative instincts at work.
