Robert Duvall Books

This truly is cowboy fare...not Texas fare so if you are looking for very basic recipes, this is the book for you.

Absolutely wonderful. The recipes are easy and tasty. The pictures are beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone. I have eaten at Perini Ranch and the recipies are just like those they serve.

This is the best cookbook I've ever used. Everything is so simple and delicious. Tom Perini really knows his stuff!

Wonderful in all respects- the recipes are excellent ways to fix good substantial food, written understandably. Outstanding pictures and commentary. I have been a Texas Panhandle cowboy and New Mexico rancher.
Have cooked for hunters and working crews and own an extensive array of gourmet cookbooks. This is the one used for our recent holiday, and I have given 3 of them to friends since. Don't think this is rough food - it's the kind that everybody loves.

I am from Abilene and have eaten at Perini Ranch a number of times plus am writing a cookbook myself. loved the book and the colorful photos and the recipes look fun.

A book that covers the basics of the most common ocular conditions and the simplest explanations available on the pharmacology of the usual medications. An excellent teaching guide!

Robert Duvall is without exception one of the best actors in this period, in my opinion. The Apostle is a movie about a man who, as a young boy, experiences highly charged evangelistic preaching, and in turn, becomes an evangelist. His Mother is his biggest supporter in his ventures. Even though he truly believes in Jesus and is a Christian, he commits unforgiveable sins, and is fully knowledgeable about what he has done, so he escapes from the place where the crime was committed, and, with very little money, strikes out to begin a new life. He only gives people his initials, and calls himself the Apostle. He manages to obtain a small church, and many willing workers to help him renovate it. He eventually draws a large crowd of followers, mostly African Americans. You almost hope he can go through life preaching to this simple group, but his past overtakes him and he soon has to pay the price for his crimes. this is a mesmerizing story, thanks to Duvall, and you will be totally captured by his phenomenal portrayal of the Apostle.

I saw this movie years ago and I wanted to watch it again. Robert Duvall does a fantastic job as a preacher. The movie was wonderful

This is a great movie. Like the Bible, it deals with humanity as it is, not as it is supposed to be. Christ is perfect. We Christians are not perfect...at least not yet. :-)

Contrary to what some have said, this movie is a movie that Christians should see. It portrays the faith in very positive terms. Not as the hypocritical, legalistic and club-like modern (organized) churches, but as the passionate faith that drives us to struggle against the our own nature as we seek a relationship with our Creator. (Important side note, while Christianity is about individual faith, it will always draw us away from ourselves and into Communion with God and other Christians, and even to our enemies beyond the Church.)

There are several scenes that stand out in this movie. For example, the scene where Sonny praises a clergyman from another faith tradition as having different ways of doing the same job...sharing the good news that Jesus Christ has saved us from ourselves.

My favorite scene is the very last one in the movie. To comment further would give it away. I just hope that you will watch the movie to see it. :-)

The Christian Faith is passion for the one-and-only God who is our Creator, Savior, and Spiritual Guide. The Apostle shows this passion.

Wow! You never want to think that someone would react the way Apostle did when in the same situation, but you hear about it all the time on the evening news. What incredible story-telling! Robert was just fantastic as the Bible-thumping, pew-jumping preacher! What a story of redemption!

First of all i am a (pentacostal)Christian, and i have never heard about this movie. And i have to say now after watching this movie to my regret.

I bought this movie NEW in a store for about 1 dollar. Yes 1$. There was someone over there in the store wich told me it's a great movie. Sure i thought well see.

Well after me and my family and some of our friends saw this movie we all
had the same conclusion. THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME GREAT TERIFFIC.

Especially Christians should see this movie. I don't know how non believers will react to this movie.

I want so say a brief thing about the livestyle of this preacher, there
are parts of it wich are really bad. But you have to look at a person like
God does. Only Jesus is perfect and every Christian has his flaws. If a mature Christian looks at this movie and knows his bible. I think he will
like this movie. Remember lukewarmness is also a sin.

This article consists of three letters to the editor of "First Things" about Gary Anderson's article "How to Think About Zionism," and a response from Anderson.

Robert Barnett asks what right a European colonial power and international organizations had to assign an Arab territory to the control of European Jews! That's hilarious. European and non-European Jews were trying for many centuries to move to what is now Israel and buy land there. Finally, some folks decided they would not stop them, and Barnett interprets this as a crime on the part of those who didn't stop them! But the crime actually was on the part of Arabs who insisted on depriving Jews of human rights, and who insisted on killing, robbing, and slandering these Jews. Anderson does manage to reply that Israel's neighbors were indeed guilty of far worse than anything Israel did.

Charles Duvall also sides with Arab aggression over Jewish rights. He boasts that when Jews were finally allowed to move to the Levant in significant numbers, they were only a small part of the population there. No kidding. I think we can all guess why. And he boasts that the partition plan gave 54% of the land to the Jews, even though the Jews only owned 6% of the land. But this is a famous anti-Zionist lie, given that it implies that the Arabs owned the other 94%. Jews did only own about 6% of the land as private property, but most of the land was state land. Arabs owned a roughly similar amount. And even had the Arabs owned 100% of the land and Jews 0%, it would not have been wrong to let Jews buy land and live on it. Israel is land-poor. If everyone were as greedy for land as the Israelis, there would be no conflicts over land, that is for sure. Anderson quite properly mentions that the Levant was not highly populated when the Jews began to return and to improve the land, which is a good point.

Richard Rowling makes a religious point, roughly that Jews have no right to their land. Um, is he kidding? Why does he feel that Jews are special, and must be mistreated? If people in general are to have rights of life, liberty, and property, Jews need these rights as well, because Jews are people too.

Look folks, if you want something, and if it is for sale, and if you have the money to buy it, and if you outbid all others for it, you deserve to get it. Rowling is out of line to suggest that all this is invalid if you are Jewish and want to buy land in your homeland. And Anderson also realizes that it is significant that many Jews persist in wanting to live in their homeland.
