I was excited to come across this book. As a homeschooling mom and resident of Charleston, SC at the time, this guide provided an organized tour of downtown Charleston, including key historical buildings and tidbits I hadn't found anywhere else. I recommend that this book be reprinted. It's serves as a great resource for residents and tourists.

My wife has been making the most wonderful cheesecakes from this book. I am having to run more on account of it but it is worth it.

The latest in the "Young Patriots" series of young adult novels, George Rogers Clark: Boy Of The Northwest Frontier by Katharine E. Wilie is a dramatic historical narrative of the childhood of George Rogers Clark, who would grow up to be a Revolutionary War general and famous explorer, as well as an inspiration for his younger brother William who would one day lead the Lewis & Clark expedition. Cathy Morrison's black-and-white illustrations bring this adventurous narrative to life; a tale that captures the imagination and introduces young people to American history through the eyes of those who grew up in the midst of critical events.

We offer this book as a beginning and as a set of new, perhaps unpolished, tools for the abuse survivor to consider using. It is our first attempt to communicate what we have discovered in the painstaking processes of therapy. The problems and issues that people who are very important to us have dealt with courageously and painfully in therapy are in this book. The case histories presented in this book and the processes we have discussed here come from abuse survivors whom we were priviledged to encounter in our work and study. Many of them have fought bravely and with amazing fortitude to build lives shattered by those they should have been able to trust. We are hopeful and we are astounded that these very special people can function, and most importantly, can freely give and receive love. When they succeed, we feel somehow that we have succeeded.

Children's Voices From The Trail: Narratives Of The Platte River Road by Rosemary Gudmundson Palmer is an astute collection and interpretation of primary sources, especially letters and journals, of young people who set forth with their parents upon the pioneer trails west and who wrote about their lives. Offering eye-opening insight into what it was really like to grow up in the 1800's frontier, beset by both natural and human enemies, Children's Voices From The Trail is a superb contribution to academic American History Studies reference collections and highly recommended for the non-specialist reader with an interest in the real life conditions of growing up in the American West.

This book is a sleeper that will ultimately find its place among the best books on race, children, and Black-Jewish relationships in post War America. Unlike so many books that relie on the invented memory of a few primary actors, this scholarly account closely follows the crisis among Blacks and Jews through the experiences of children. Besides being an excellent political biography of Mamie and Kenneth Clark, the book is a troubling journey into the lives of the children of the great black migration. Despite its seemingly narrow focus, this is a rich narrative account of recent American history.

This is a truly groundbreaking study that completely overturns the conventional wisdom on the Cultural Revolution. By focusing on culture rather than politics -- that is, on music, fine art, opera, films, and architecture -- the author demonstrates convincingly and in fascinating new ways, that the years of the Cultural Revolution, 1966-1976 -- were a period of great innovation as artists and ordinary Chinese reached back to the past and recast it in radical new ways. They did this behind formulaic acknowledgments of political orthodoxy, often with a wink and a nod and a tone. Clark brings out the complexities of the Cultural revolution, and the occasional pleasures that people made for themselves in daily life, a view quite different from the usual accounts that focus almost without exception on high politics and suffering. Moreover, its a great read.

This is one of the most beautiful cookbooks. Pictures are fabulous and recipes interesting. I have many books about chocolate but this is my favourite one. Full of inspiration and prepared in every single detail. Highly recommended.

Rejected, lonely, unloved, forsaken, confined, abused and terrified--what else could happen to a little nine-year-old girl in Birmingham, Alabama? An attempted escape ended in a midnight horror ride to Tallahassee, Florida. Elopement to Mississippi at the tender age of sixteen only proved to be another nightmare.

Today, Benji Clark is a mature, understanding, well-rounded Christian counselor. She has a delightful sense of humor and is the mother of five. She maintains a busy schedule through her ministry, "Lift Jesus Higher Ministries, Inc.," in Oxford, Alabama, and travels thousands of miles speaking in churches, praise gatherings, "Aglow" chapters and conducting seminars.

Only God could take a crushed little girl and provide the miracle of Benji Clark.

This is her incredible story!

Albrecht Ritschl is arguably the most important Protestant theologian of the latter part of the 19th century. In fact, many scholars deem him second only to the peerless Schleiermacher, who was, quite simply, the theologian of the 19th century. Ritschl, almost single handedly, dominated the liberal wing of the Protestant Church at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. His knowledge of Luther was extensive and profound and in learning he surpassed all other theologians of his day. Unfortunately for Ritschl Barth, who was usually charitable to great theologians he did not agree with, unleashed an attack on Ritschl's theology and his school that caused Ritschl's star to gradually dim during the middle of the 20th century. Lately, however, there has been a revival of interest in Ritschl. The great Church historian, Alisdair McGrath, has noted that Ritschl's own review of the history of the Christian doctrine of justification and reconcilliation (the topic of the first volume or Ritschl's magnum opus) was simply the most learned and penetrating that has ever been produced, and other theologians have recently praised the rigour and power of Ritschl's own postive theologcal system, a system that is carefully unfolded and skillfully defended in this, the third volume, of Ritschl's vast work. One might not always agree with Ritschl's positions (I do not), but no intelligent reader can come away from a careful study of this, his masterpiece, without the impression that it deserves a place on the short list of truly great works of Christian dogmatics. Make no mistake, the Christian Church (or at least the liberal wing of it) simply cannot ignore the thought and scholariship of this 19th century master. It is a very good thing that his towering work, so long out of print, is once again available for readers who have the interest and intelligence to study it with the care it deserves.
