Adam Books

Once again, Brandilyn Collins has the perfect mix of suspense, drama, romance, and spirituality without preaching! I loved the characters, the believable storyline and was sitting on the edge of my seat at the end! Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great read! I couldn't put it down!

Dread Champion is the sequel to Brandilyn Collins' book, Eyes of Elisha. While I enjoyed Eyes of Elisha, the plot didn't hold as many surprises as I would have liked. I'm very glad I kept reading. Dread Champion far exceeded my greatest expectations. The many threads of plot were tied together flawlessly and kept me guessing until the very end.

The heroine of the series is Chelsea Adams; wife, mother, and visionary--literally. Chelsea is a woman who sees visions from God. In Dread Champion, Chelsea is chosen to be on the jury of a well-publicized murder trial. Darren Welk, the "Salad King" of Salinas County, has been charged with the murder of his wife. Chelsea is sure she will be excused from the jury pool. After all, what lawyers in their right minds would pick her to be a part of a jury? Her visions of a young girl's murder in Trent Park had put her in the headlines just a year before. So she is stunned when she is accepted to be the second alternate juror. But, as the title Dread Champion (taken from Jeremiah 20:11) implies, God will accomplish His own purposes and choose to use whomever He will.

As fellow jurors give her the cold shoulder because of their knowledge of her visions; her visiting niece Kerra becomes involved with the son of the defendant; and God gives her a new, terrifying vision; Chelsea fights to pray and trust that God has placed her where He has for a reason.

God's work in each character's life in this story is as unique as the fingerprints He gives us. That, along with a tightly woven storyline, made this a book that was very hard to put down.

Adam Brunetti has written a great book for readers of all ages. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. My 9 year old read the entire book in 2 days. We cannot wait until the next book in this wonderful kid-friendly series. Keep up the good work Adam.

I had the privilege of reading a preview copy of Adam's wonderful book last summer. The story is enjoyable. It is also one that stays with the reader for a long time. The message is clear. Our thoughts play a powerful part in what happens in our lives! Adam's story is for adults as well as children. It is a book that not only entertains but conveys a strong underlying theme.

I found this book to be very informative. It contains a lot of information covering all types of situations and scenarios dealing with disaster preparedness. It is an important resource for myself, not only at home and in the work place, but also in the community. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

I found this book to be very informative. I was able to get a better understanding of how to be better prepared for different scenario's. I learned not only how to prepare for a situation that meant being home bound with no power but also disasters that can completely devastate the area. I will certainly recommend this book to friends and family!

Awesome Book! You don't often find information on Steady Eddie, but this book covers it all!

As an Irvine follower, I really enjoyed reading Adam Cooper's book, which details not only the relatively recent Ferrari section of Eddie's career but gives the reader an insight into just how he developed his career to the F1 stage. A very entertaining look at the soon to be world champion (if not 99, then 2000!), including some dodgy photos from the early years!

Excellent response from Amazon! We received this product quickly and saved a bundle off list price at the college bookstore.

I bought this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com. This is a great book on communication theories. Also with the book you will have access to online learning center where you may find the chapter outlines and quizes over there.

Creo que esta obra es ante todo arriesgada... ¿Cómo contar una historia que todos conocen sin cometer un error que cualquiera notaría y sin aburrir al lector con algo que ya sabe? Ese riesgo está bien asumido, y bien logrado. Desde el punto de arranque cuando concentra en "Y fue..." el inicio de la historia (lo cual me pareció brillante) hasta el uso imaginativo de situaciones netamente humanas aplicadas a un contexto que por todos es sabido que no existió así como tal. Me parece una obra recomendable desde la adolescencia, y que cualquiera puede disfrutar... No puedo dejar de mencionar la dedicatoria del libro, que llama a la reflexión...

Esta novela se originó en el asombro de descubrir lo desconocido en una historia que, por antigua, creía conocer de toda la vida.
Aunque siempre sentí fascinación por la narración bíblica del principio del mundo y sus primigenios protagonistas, la idea de reconstruir el drama de Adán y Eva en el Paraíso Terrenal fue el resultado de un hecho fortuito.
Forzada a esperar largo rato en la biblioteca de un familiar -una habitación pequeña con estantes en las cuatro paredes y cajas con tomos polvorientos apiladas en el suelo- mis ojos vagaron por los anaqueles hacia los lomos de los libros. Sabía que eran ejemplares antiguos que el dueño terminaba de desempacar de una bodega donde habían estado guardados muchos años. Una colección de volúmenes marrones cuyos lomos acusaban el paso del tiempo llamó mi atención. Sobre el canto, en letras doradas, se leía el título: Libros Sagrados y Literatura Antigua del Este. Más abajo especificaba: Babilonia, India, Egipto... hasta llegar al último tomo titulado: Los Grandes Libros Secretos.
Tomé este misterioso ejemplar y abrí intrigada sus amarillentas páginas. Según la introducción, se trataba de textos apócrifos, versiones del Viejo y Nuevo Testamento que, si bien habían sido escritas en la antigüedad, lo mismo que las versiones oficiales que componen la Biblia que hoy conocemos, no habían sido incorporadas por distintas razones al canon eclesiástico. Era una recopilación, afirmaba, de los Grandes Libros rechazados por quienes editaron los textos sagrados. Entre éstos figuraban los libros de Enoch, el Apocalipsis de Baruk, El Libro Perdido de Noé, Los Evangelios de Nicodemo y los Libros de Adán y Eva, que incluían: Las vidas de Adán y Eva, el Apocalipsis de Moisés y el libro Eslavónico de Eva.
Presa de la excitación de quien hace un apasionante descubrimiento, leí en primer lugar el texto sobre las vidas de Adán y Eva. La narración se iniciaba con la salida de ellos del Paraíso y contaba los trabajos y desconciertos que pasaron al encontrarse súbitamente despojados de todos sus privilegios en un mundo solitario y desconocido. Leyendo el texto apócrifo evoqué tan vívidamente la historia que aquella tarde decidí escribir sobre Adán y Eva.
Me tomó varios años investigar manuscritos e historias bíblicas perdidas. La búsqueda me condujo desde los pergaminos de la biblioteca de Nag Hammadi encontrados por pastores en las cuevas del Alto Egipto en 1944, a los famosos y crípticos Pergaminos del Mar Muerto, hallados en Wadi Qumran en 1947, hasta los Midrás, comentarios escritos durante siglos por doctos rabinos judíos, en su afán de aclarar el lenguaje poético, a veces oscuro, a veces contradictorio del Viejo Testamento.
Descubrí así que aunque Adán y Eva sólo ocupan cuarenta versículos del Génesis, su historia y la de sus hijos: Caín y Abel, Luluwa y Aklia, aparecen en numerosas relaciones e interpretaciones arcaicas.
Alimentada por estas lecturas llenas de revelaciones y fantásticas inferencias, di rienda suelta a mi imaginación para evocar en esta novela los entretelones insospechados de este antiguo drama, el paisaje surrealista del Paraíso y la vida de esta inocente, valiente y conmovedora pareja.
Sin ser religiosa, pienso que hubo una primera mujer y un primer hombre y que esta historia bien pudo haber sido la suya.
Esta es pues una ficción basada en las muchas ficciones, interpretaciones y reinterpretaciones que alrededor de nuestro origen ha tejido la humanidad desde tiempos inmemoriales.
Es, en su asombro y desconcierto, la historia de cada uno de nosotros.
Espero que la disfruten tanto como yo disfrute al escribirla.

This book succeeded in showing the romantic and exciting side of the discoveries made on electricity over the last two or three hundred years, while remaining straight-forward and simple enough for anyone to enjoy. Highly recommended!

This audio is an entertaining look at how electricity works and affects our daily lives. Bodanis's uses analogies that make this subject understandable. He examines electricity's development along with providing short biographies of Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi, Heinrich Herz and other pioneers. Bodanis also describes early failures and setbacks that resulted in eventual breakthroughs. A superb storyteller, Bodanis includes tales of romance, hard work, and fraud in the development of modern electrical applications. Bodanis taught at the University of Oxford for many years.

Treasure Hunters by Sylvia Day

Samantha Tremain is an expert in ancient erotic romance and looking for a little adventure in her life. Rick Bronson is a mercenary looking for a very valuable database of erotic e-books. When these two 23rd Century individuals meet, sparks fly as they try to find the ancient treasure together. Throw in a rival treasure seeker who happens to be an ex-lover and Sam finds the adventure she has always dreamt of.

This is a very fun futuristic story. Sam and Rick together sizzle on the page, and I found them enjoyable both in bed and out. The story seems slightly rushed at some points, but overall it is a very enjoyable read.

Allergic to Love by Anna J. Evans

Marcus Ashton is a werewolf who has just found his mate. The only problem is that his prickly mate is allergic to him. When Ella Bradley issues an invitation for drinks Marcus jumps at the chance, not realizing the challenges that lay ahead. Ella has been hurt in the past, her mother was institutionalized for believing in the paranormal and Ella has already endured one abusive relationship with an ex-fiancé. She doesn't want or need another dominant man in her life; especially one who believes in the very things she thinks are crazy.

Marcus and Ella make a very interesting couple. They are fleshed out and appealing, with a layer of humor that is hard to find in such a short story. This was my first book by Anna J. Evans, but it won't be my last.

Eclipse by Denise A. Agnew

Dawn Chartrier is desperate to find her troubled sister and there is only one man who can help her, Niall Machaire. Ten years ago, Dawn fell helplessly for Niall only to see him run off with her sister Maureen. But now Maureen is caught up in a world of vampires and werewolves and needs Dawn's help. Niall has been desperate for over 550 years. He has his own share of problems, and there is only one woman who can help him. Lucky for him, she just happened to walk right into his arms.

Dawn and Niall together are scorching and their lust jumps right off the page. Niall's problem adds a different twist to the story, one that I wasn't expecting but thoroughly enjoyed!

Genesis by B. J. McCall

Dr. Tria Anara is charged with protecting the last of a dying race. Her planet was invaded and her people destroyed. Now all that remains are Tria and four young women. Dax Rann is a Captain in the Sarruian Expeditionary Force charged with finding any remaining trace of the Zyrai. When he chances upon Tria's Station, he initiates contact, bringing with him four crewmen. Dax and Tria are instantly attracted to one another, but Tria has responsibilities to her charges that she cannot ignore.

This is a very unique world, with two likable characters. The addition of the women and crewmen adds another layer of spice, along with a very interesting plant that I found very intriguing.

Blind Date by Elisa Adams

Ruthie Ryan and Mike Allen have been best friends for 10 years. They know each other better than anyone else and share everything. But now, what started out as friendship has evolved into something more. When Mike realizes someone has to make the first move, he sets out to fulfill all of Ruthie's fantasies. Only he needs to do it in a way that she can't possibly refuse.

This was by far my favorite of the six stories. Because the characters are so close to begin with, the relationship was able to progress without any awkwardness. Ruthie is a closet romantic and every situation with Mike was drawn out to perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Sir Stephen's Fortune by Sahara Kelly

Sir Stephen O'Mannion is on a path leading nowhere. He is homeless and penniless after being thrown out of his family home because of the circumstances of his birth. Ileana Baxter is desperate for a man to come to her. She will soon be homeless and penniless if she does not fulfill the requirements of a controlling relative's will. When Sir Stephen happens upon Ileana under rather unique circumstances, their paths twist and they find in each other, exactly what they need.

In a minimum of words, Sahara Kelly is able to draw out a story that is both interesting and unique. I really enjoyed reading this, and was caught up in the story right from the beginning. Sir Stephen's Fortune is the perfect end to a wonderful set of stories. Each one is unique enough that readers are bound to find something that appeals to their taste.

I've been a big fan of the Cavemen anthologies since they began. I've never failed to enjoy each and every story. The genres cover everything from contemporary to futuristic, paranormal and even historical. The ELLORA'S CAVEMEN anthologies provide the perfect opportunity to try out a new genre that you may not have otherwise thought to try. They also introduce new-to-you authors. All of the authors in this anthology do a stupendous job writing genuinely enjoyable stories that have excellent sex scenes, very cool plots and interesting characters. ELLORA'S CAVEMEN: DREAMS OF THE OASIS II is definitely destined for my keeper shelf.

A fascinating read about how emotions affect the choices we make in purchasing decisions. As a designer I used this book to help clarify (or justify) design choices that I always understood to be intrinsically valuable. I can now explain to left brain people why these emotional choices are so valid. Lots of clearly presented information. I enjoyed the illustrations, quotes and little asides that the author included to help explain points about brain science, business and human relationships.

Dan Hill is far ahead of his time. I have read hundreds of books on sales and marketing and have been hard pressed to find solid data around emotions and how they relate to the buying process. When I found this book, I felt like I hit the jackpot. Dan Hill compiled reseach that would take years for any of us to compile on our own. He fills in many of the missing pieces of the puzzle for buying behavior. Emotion is where it is at and Dan Hill is ahead of his time. It pains me to see books out there that don't hold a candle to Mr. Hills work selling thousands more copies. Take it from someone who eats breathes and drinks human motiviation to buy, Mr. Hill has a book chock full of valuable data here to choose from. If you want meat to chew on when reading a great book, it is in this book. I have never met Mr. Hill but if I do, it will be to ask him for a job in his organization. He knows his business. Period!

This book was well written for children. The illustrations are bold, colorful, and captivating. I found the book to be very engaging; and it allows children to experience a journey of fun, excitement, and adventure. I recommend this book highly to expand a child's imagination.

I couldn't resist purchasing a few of these books for my family and friends. This book is fun to read for kids and adults. You'll also love the color illustrations and wonderful characters. It takes you on an exciting adventure in the comfort of your own living room or wherever you like to read. You actually feel like your part of the story and it keeps you wanting more. A must have for travel enthusiasts or that imaginary dreamer!!!
