William H Keith Books

The Healing Works of Jesus is one of the most complete and easy-to-use reference guides I have seen concerning healings in the gospels. William Higgins has written a great resource book for every student of the Word that desires to grow in the knowledge of healing and miracles performed by Jesus. Practical charts that display the methods and order in which Jesus healed will save you countless hours of research, and studying this book will bring you into a deeper revelation of healing and a clearer understanding of how and when Jesus ministered healing.

The Healing Works of Jesus is an organized, practical, and faith-inspiring guide to the healing power of God. It is textbook quality and should be used in Bible college curricula around the world. I strongly recommend this book for anyone dealing with personal health issues or desiring to minister healing to others.

"Jesus gave a great many other signs in the presence of his disciples which are not recorded in this book. But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that in that faith you may have life through his name. John 20:30-31

In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lucy Pevensie found an interesting book on her friend's bookshelf titled Is Man a Myth? The subject matter makes sense from a world in which no human had been for quite some time. But even in our world questions about what it means to be human are at best unresolved by our culture. In Mere Humanity, Donald T. Williams explores humanity in the work of G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien.

Mere Humanity consists of an introduction, six chapters, concluding thoughts, and two appendices. In between each of these are one-page poetic "interludes" that reflect on various aspects of humanity. Over the six chapters, Dr. Williams analyzes The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton, "On Faerie Stories" and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien, and The Abolition of Man, The Space Trilogy, and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.

Dr. Williams did an excellent job of analyzing these popular works in light of contemporary philosophies and, most importantly, biblical revelation. He showed how Chesterton, Tolkien, and Lewis each dealt with contrary ideologies in their own ways in order to point their readers to the biblical understanding of what it means to be human. My favorite chapter was "The Abolition of Talking Beasts," as it shows what peril our culture is in by losing its human identity.

It is often said that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Chesterton, Lewis, and Tolkien were three Christian giants who have given people a better perspective of the world. In Mere Humanity, Dr. Williams brings their collective perspectives together to form an insightful and urgent critique of the contemporary popular view of humanity.

Dev Cameron, killed during battle in space, has had his consciousness spread throughout the alien Naga/DalRiss symbiont fleet. He is thrust into a journey of amazing proportions, whiplashed millions of years into the future to meet... himself, the resident superintelligence of the Milky Way Galaxy! He learns from himself how to defeat The Web, an assimilating race of machine intelligences bent on destroying all that is not part of itself. "Remember," said the devgestalt, "This is the second time I've had this conversation." Read it!

Warstrider:Jackers is written better than the previous two books, and it is extremely creative. Not as good as the Seafort Saga by David Feintuch, but worth reading all the same.

This book is complete and very well organized!
the examples in the annexed cd-rom are a very good way to understand and make practice.

when i try to build the example off the DLL (dynamic load) and i use the code from the book the use of the #define statements (casts) gives a name failure (the define use the same names of the used vars in the rest of the code) and the writer said: somthing like this. its better to say use __varname and explain why. . . as a beginner it cost a lot of time to find out. In my case the CDROM was damaged and it was not possible to use the example code! by the way its better to source-code the book secure. . .

This book is fantastic. You do not need any other book for Builder 6. I was having problems with DLL and COM programming, but this book stepped me right through it. It is easy to understand and has very good examples. The CD includes a copy of the developer's guide for Builder 5 so it is great for people making the transition from 5 to 6.

I am reading through this book and have experienced the following
issues:

1. The CD does not contain the examples that the author
refers to in the book. Chapter 2 refers to a debug
example on the CD and Chapter 3 refers to a DragDrop
project. Both these projects do not exist on the CD. I had
to stop and write a review at this point where I am only
in Chapter 3... 2. Many sections in the book are not organized and leave
the reader totally confused. Chapter 3 explains about
frames... I had to skip that section as I could not
understand anything. A constructive example would be
much better.

I am somewhat disappointed with the publisher

The reason I gave this book 1 star is because there is nothing smaller. The CD contains the same stuff you can download from Borland's web site. In fact, the book is a compilation of help screens, tutorials, and published sample applications. Borland's help is obscure at best. Taking the SAME data and putting it in print doesn't make it clear, just heavy. My particular interest was in their implementation of OpenGL. The description says "discover the latest in multi-media techniques with OpenGL". One paragraph that mentions two examples on the CD rom (The same two examples that you get for free with the eval version).
Don't waste your money.

All the birds of the West Indies are described and illustrated in this portable book make for field and identification.
One of the best and recent guide for this area !

Probably the best field guide covering the entire West Indies region and certainly better than the classic James Bond field guide. The coverage seems to be complete and the illustrations are good.

Two minor deficiencies: 1) The range maps of species in the Lesser Antilles are difficult to see - tiny red dots against a blue background. However, the text usually helps sort it out. 2) Sometimes not enough information is given in the book to distinguish between similar species. For example, how do you distinguish between an immature northern gannet and an immature brown booby?

Much clearer and more up-to-date than The Birds of the West Indies (by James Bond) This book includes great full colour plates with lots of details.Descriptions are concise but very useful. I highly recommend this book to anyone birdwatching in the Caribbean.

Birds of the West Indies is the ideal refernce publication for residents of and visiitors to the Caribbean whether they be avid bird watchers or amatuurs wishing to satisfy their curiosity in identifying the charming little creature that wished to share their breakfast on the terrace every morning.

The illustrations are beautifully and accurately produced and reference by species makes the identifying both quick and easy.

I used this guide in Februrary 2007 on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. Color illustrations were very good. But I missed the short behavioral cues that you find in Peterson's guides, like "scratches in leaves near road edges," "bobs head and swims half submerged."

St. John's has a Park Ranger-led walk on Francis Bay trail that was very productive.

This has to be one of the best books I have read in my entire life. I have read it twice already, will wait a while, and probably read it again. The !*!*! are an awesome enemy, yet, the bolo is an awesome foe. The final battle is tremendous, as is all previous minor ones. There are never parts of the book that are dull. I have always liked bolos, and this was....just amazing.

Mr. Keith's Bolo books do very well in maintaining the quality of the series. Like several reviewers of this and other Bolo books, I tend to view a Bolo book with too much emphasis on human drama and interaction as a waste of money. Mr. Keith is able to walk that fine line and write a book that melds well-developed human characters with the action and adventure we want from a Bolo book. I have enjoyed his contributions to this series and sincerely hope he writes more...I hope that the more recent "Road to Damascus" is not an indication of the way the Bolo series is going. That one has so much mother-daughter stuff and teenage angst in it that it should be serialized on the Lifetime Channel.

The early Bolo stories were touching, to say the least. Self aware, highly intelligent tanks which applied themselfselves selflessly to their duty. This book has gone a long way from there. From a military point it is unbelievable, even in its most basic tenets. David Drake assumes vast strides in technology and comes up with 170 ton tanks; well okay so it is SF. Here we see a 32000 ton "tank". If there is one thing military history has taught about armour it is to use tanks together in highly mobile formations. You only use very heavy stuff if you want to invite defeat. Using armour out of support range is to invite defeat. Here a single damaged Bolo takes on an enemy which not only was victorious but has had a year on planet to replenish itself, and and has vast numbers of highly intelligent weapons under a unified command. Please!

The first 150 pages consist of how deep humans have fallen and their bickering and complaining (reading one in ten words is quite enough). In the rest of the book there is action. This can perhaps be best illustrated by the Bolo's fight in the closing pages. The Bolo, in its own words, fires "fusillade after shrieking fusillade" with "all remaining weapons". A little later it "redoubles its hammerings" in spite of increasing damage. A little later onwards it "gathers its power". All in all the book reads like one of Ron Hubbard's efforts.

This book exceled among all others in my line of favorites. I have read various war books. Such titles are Team Yankee, Red Storm Rising, Hunt for Red October...etc. This book combines plot, and scenery to capture your atention, in even the first 3 pages. This book, being staged in the future, refers to past incedents, uses things that we are accustomed to, and explains things we otherwsie wouldn't understand in great detail. This book surprised me, and kept me on the edge of my seat, the only reason I put it down, was because school and sleep kept inturupting me. I recommend this book to all those who like adventure, suspense, and an all around greatly written book.

This was a totally satisfying bolo novel. I have read a number of others, but most of the best are in the past. I'm delighted that a talented writer has gotten his teeth into this series, and hopefully can continue to breathe life into it.

The personalities were developed very well for an action novel. As well as we could ask. Hector's personality came alive as his "blocks" were slowly removed, one by one, and his real personality emerged.

Battle scenes were gripping, and they were abundant. You got to really care about the characters, also. The ambiguous ending makes us wonder if William Keith is planning a sequel. I hope so.

One theme that unifies the book and adds a bit more than just the "thriller" aspect is the exploration of "machine intelligence." The aliens are machines also, and the contest is not just based on gunfire, but on whether Hector's mental processes can "checkmate" the alien thoughts of the /*/*/*/, as the invaders call themselves.

David Drake's books are great, but he has totally stopped writing future war novels. Too bad. Now let's just hope that Mr. Keith picks up the mission and pumps out a few more.

Can't put this book down ! ! !

this is an exellent battletech novel that gives a great look at pre-clan battletech. It is kind of slow towards the beginning but speeds up fast and really turns out great. highly recommended. when you buy this one you better go ahead and get mercenary's star and the price of glory cause you'll want to read them.

I have been playing mechwarrior for years now, but only recently have I started collecting the Battletech novels. The reason I started collecting is because of this book, the first one I'd read. Although the author seems to get bogged down in the beginning with minor details (which I admit helps out non-Battletech fans with some historical and technological background), it rapidly starts to gain momentum. I think what I found most gripping was the transformation the main character underwent; from spoiled 'son-of-Captain Carlyle' brat to someone who gets forced to apply his apprenticeship skills in combat, resulting in a very different person. The theme of owning your own destiny and leadership come strongly into play throughout. The book is virtually unstoppable after the half-way mark, and then William H. Keith drops the bombshell ending. He ended it so that you really needed to know what lay ahead for the Gray Death Legion, after all: You were there at the mercenary group's birth! Sure, there are some corny bits and a slowish start, but the rest of the book makes up for that in spades. Let's just say that after putting the book finally down I walked straight to the computer and started looking for Mercenary's Star...

This book is set thirty years before the clan invasion, with the main charter just finishing his mech training and seeing his father being killed for no reason. He gets left behind, starts a revoulation and fights off a bandit king from taking over a planet.

I decided to read this book for the sake of comparison. My normal flow of reading revolves around SF novels of the intelligent, thoughtful, mind-bending type, so I was fairly disappointed in this book for that reason.

There was a tremendous amount of action, but it offered little to people looking for drama or subtlety.

I understand how people can enjoy this book, but it just isn't my personal cup of tea.

This book has a great plot and introduces wonderful characters that make you want to read many more books with them in it. A great read that i bet a first time B-tech reader would enjoy to the fullest!

The Concordiat is threatened once again, this time by velociraptors in space. The author does a very good job creating the dino-invader world, but struggles in creating the Bolo thoughts. Overall, the story is fun and interesting, but it falls flat at the end. The final invasion is just too poorly written. The invaders go from being incredibly savage and smart warriors to impatient idiots who land on the planet before the invasion has actually begun, which just happens to help the good guys win.

This is a fun, quick, mindless read that lacks any attempt at reality.

This book was a very enjoyable read. Bolo fans will notice that instead of being several short stories about different Bolo marks, this is actually a novel about two "obsolete" Mark XXIV Bolos who were thought to be past their prime. While I'm normally very fond of the short story approach, this novel was well written and held my attention through the entire story. A "must read" for any Bolo fan!

This is one of those books you can read again and agian. Entertaining to the last. Believable characters and an extrodinary setting. I really wish (hint HINT) that a followup would come along one day.

Bolo brigade is a well crafted, actioned packed story in the universe of Keith Laumer's Bolos, giant sentient tanks that are humanity's most stalwart defenders.

In Bolo Brigade, a bolo officer with a dead end career winds up posted to a backwater planet that is about to become a raging battleground. The Malach, a race of reptile-like aliens appears from the depths of space and invades the planet. The only force that can stop them are two old bolos and whatever forces the planetary government can muster.

Bolo Brigade thunders to a crescendo of action that is glittering in in its intensity and at one point seems to literally roar with the fury of battle. The bolos display courage and humanity that goes far beyond the call of duty, and the ending may even leave you with tears in your eyes.

Sometimes authors just nail it right on the head and William Keith excels with Bolo Brigade.

This is not particularly great space opera but it was an enjoyable way to waste a day sitting home sick.

The story is of a young officer who has been exiled to a distant post because of his brashness. He gets the job done in spite of incompetent leadership higher up. He is assigned to command two BOLOs which are well past their prime. He has trouble from day one because his new bosses do not appreciate his past talent for making them look bad and neither do they trust the sentient armored vehicles (BOLOs) assigned to them. He has to try and cope with laziness and a maintenance unit that sees no point in working hard when nothing much happens in that dist reach at the edge of the galaxy. Also troubling is the fact that the two BOLOs seem to be quite a bit more self-aware than should be expected for their model numbers.

Meanwhile, a new set of aliens has decided to invade. These are vaguely like carnivorous dinosaurs and have the same sort of table manners. Their biochemistry means that they cannot eat humans but that does not take the fun out of hunting them. Their civilization depends upon conquering others and looting refined metals. Their fleet is huge and they are without mercy.

It is all up to our young hero to stop them. He has two aging tanks at his disposal and will have to fight his own command authority as well as the aliens.

Other BOLO books have been better but this one did provide a few hours of enjoyment. It is worth reading and will even be remembered for a while.

The story is cool,and we dont have this damn clan. I really like the story and William Keith jr describe very well. You can feel the atmosphere of battletech in this book

I read this one a while ago, but all I remember about the book is how much it rocked. Lots of action, and it kept your brain thinking. If you're a Battletechie (like me), read Tactics of Duty (another great book) then you'll definately want to read this one. I'm wondering why Keith hasn't written another one yet. Right now, I can't wait for it!

I LIKED OP. EXCALIBUR BECAUSE IT WAS ACTION PACKED AND VERY INTRIGUING FOR A BOOK. I'M NOT THE BIGGEST FAN OF READING, BUT I LOVED THIS NOVEL ABOUT THE GRAY DEATH SAGA AND IT'S SEQUEL TACTICS OF DUTY.

Was a great book same as other Btech books though I found it cool tought me about the Graydeath legion

Yea I love this book I ahve read it so many times its ragged and falling apart I love the writing style I felt like I was there I could feel the mechs legs moving benith me and I could hear the Scarlet beams hitting me I could feel the heat this book was intense, i think you all should read it.
