Barton Books

Description from the book back cover:

A man of honour ... and honour was the only reason well-muscled former mercenary Aloysius Murdock agreed to be Catherine Price's bodyguard. For Murdock owed Catherine's father his life. But once Murdock laid eyes on his best friend's beautiful daughter, he realised he would do anything for her ... Catherine knew better than to succumb to the passion Murdock clearly offered, for she believed in love - and Murdock had given up on love long ago. Still, something in his heated gaze made her believe that the battle-worn bachelor needed her. Maybe just as much as she needed him ...

ANOTHER HIT... I LOVE EVERY BOOK THAT BEVERLY BARTON HAS WRITTEN. THE ONE THING I REALLY LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK WAS AN OLDER MAN.. THEIR CHEMISTRY AND THE PLOT. THIS WAS JUST A HOT READ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY OF BEVERLY'S BOOKS.

Pampered rich girl is hauled thru the South American jungle to help locate the dad who deserted her and her mother shortly after the Viet Nam war. Her guide? None other than Aloysius Murdock.

Raw and gritty, Murdock leads his best friend's daughter thru the jungle of South America to find the friend he has presumed dead for the past 20 years.

The only problem is, Catherine is not nearly as spoiled as Murdock had hoped. She's got spunk. She plays it cool under pressure. She's classy.

And too rough around the edges Murdock isn't nearly as rough as he believes. Maybe he's secretly yearning for hearth and home, one woman and lots of babies.

This makes for a great story with wonderful characters you like and truly want to see happy.

Enjoy!

This is an excellent reference tool for our triage staff. We have the other Barton Schmitt books and this covers some issues not dealt with in them. We reference these manuals on a daily basis.

I bought this book for work and ended up giving it to my daughter as a great reference book for parents

This a a great book for pediatric medical residents, not only when taking telephone call from home but to help in the process of managing patients. It is easy to read, well organized, and thorough. Thank you

For years William E. Barton's "Safed" stories inspired a generation of Americans. Those of us who discovered him recently keep his books on our nightstand. Each allegory can be read hundreds of times with new meanings grasped with each experience. They can be read to children as well as adults. Especially loved are his passages about his wife, Keturah, and the allegories about his favorite flower, the Hollyhock. He is out of print, therefore, should you find the "Safed" series anywhere, simply buy the book. You will treasure the experience.

A pastor opens his encounters with his spouse and daily difficulties to express a whimsical approach to solutioins that are also biblical .Its text is written in very pleasant old english that will delight and rebuke its readers " to do well , my son / daughter ."

A selection of parables from this and four companion collections have now been reprinted in "Parables of a Country Parson" (Hendrickson Publishers).

This book is a must read! This is truly where our nation built the foundation to becoming the most sought after place to live. Liberal leaders are destroying the very foundation of the truly God given principles for laws, truth and morality. If the U.S. continues down the path, we are doomed. There needs to be a repentance of thinking of self and a return to humility and seeking God to be our guide. Look at the financial mess of 2008, all due to greed!

This booklet provides a concise summary of what the founders really intend the relationship to be between Church and State. Despite what we hear today the Founding Fathers believed that Church could and should influence politics and government for the good of all. An interesting and quick read.

This book is exactly what the title says it is, the founding father's view of religion's place in government and government's place in religion. Mr. Barton describes the origin of the phrase "seperation of church and state" (which isnt in the constitution)and describes how this phrase has been used contrary to its original purpose. This is a great book, easy to read, and well worth buying.

I found "States of Matter, States of Mind" to be an insightful compilation of the known interpretations of "matter" and forces as perceived through our limited senses and through our more highly sensitive laboratory instruments of detection. Allan Barton has done a wonderful service to all that may come across this work. One is taken through the maze of interpretations of the multiplicity of the patterns of existence - into the Classical/Newtonian - through the Quantum - and then out into the future of perception.

I keep this work close by as a reference when I do my own research and writing. I highly recommend this work to all who endeavor to perceive "reality" in its true form.

Barton has written a book that should be compulsory reading for all budding university physcists and chemists and their teachers. He deals with models, analogies and other conceptual aids that are used in describing nature. His non-mathematical text captures very essential ingredients of science which are usually omitted in textbooks proper. Is it obvious that students understand the implications of model simplifications and unspoken ideality assumptions ?. How is reality added and model enhanced ? One of the nice features is that the book really deals with various sorts of matter: not only solid, liquid and gas but also surfactants, thin films, foams, aerogels, adhesives, gels, ceramics, glasses, liquid crystals, ........

States of Matter is a beautiful critique on the models we use to understand our reality. The text is really humbling stuff -- not because I thought I "knew", but rather because it highlights that we can barely know what we don't know. This leaves us to publish an understanding of our reality that may, of course, be rigorous and functional, but at the same time must be continually subject to even total collapse as we move closer to the truth. In whole and in part, I've found compelling analogies in this book that can be practically applied across disciplines -- business, literature, etc.

104 Questions Childrens Ask About Heaven and Angels by David R. Veerman Paperback
I had read it in local library before I ordered it. I gave it to a member of my family with a small child to read it. It is well-done and illustrated. I would highly reccomend it- both for families with small chhildren and for adult reading as well!

(I did not figure out how to use the stars in rating - it's worth at least 4)

This book was enjoyable for myself as well as my 9-year old. The cartoons and explanations as well as scripture verses were helpful and fun. I learned right along with my child. We both would recommend this book and others in the series to those searching and new to the faith. It is reassuring to know the answers to some of those suprising questions my children ask!

this is my first baby duck book. i recite it to my little baby while we walk. it warms my heart that baby duck sings her song, both in happiness and in sadness. i definitely love the linear tale that comes full circle (sorry to mix geometric metaphors). my little 10 month old really soaks in the detailed pictures and loves to feel the textures. it is certainly up there with the hungry caterpillar as an all time favorite!

Our Pediatrician's office gives books to kids at every check-up. Our son received this one at his 6 month visit & loved it from day 1-he's now 9 months old. He still reaches for this book before any others. He finds the different textures throughout the book to be very interested--& especially loves to pet the duck's belly!

I gave these books away one Summer to kids involved in a discipleship program and it proved to be a great tool for them. The answers are age-appropriate and written in a way kids can understand. Some kids even spent time just reading the entries in this book in addition to using it for looking up things they did not understand. When your child has a question about a Bible word, name or idea, send them to this, even if you can answer it. It helps the child develop study skills and gives him/her a sense of accomplishment for having discovered the answer for him/herself. Every family with early readers should have a copy!

My 9 year old daughter bought this book and we have found it answered many questions she had about the Bible that I couldn't answer. The langauge is very age appropriate. The setup of the book is great and the phonetic pronunciation was helpful.

I fully agree with everything the other reviewer has said, but I thought it should be noted that Roderick Jaynes is the psuedonym under which the Coens both jointly edit their movies

that should make the dour introduction all the more enjoyable for the Coen fans out there

The Coen brother's films have never failed to astonish and entertain me. From BLOOD SIMPLE to FARGO, they have shown an uncanny knack for vivid characteriziations and photographic style.

But the question is, are the scripts as good by themselves?

Thankfully, the answer is yes. The Coen's scripted prose is dramatically satisfying, and makes one yearn to see the films again, which is the highest compliment I can give them.

BARTON FINK is a bold and unusual piece, centred on a playwright who ends up selling his soul in Hollywood. It may sound like the usual pointless drivel, but the Coen's take a surprisingly dark twist into the bizarre, with insane roommates, creepy bellhops, and drunken authors. It only never fully captures the ominous presence of the hotel Barton stays in. On film, it is the most foreboding motel since Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING.

MILLER'S CROSSING (my favorite film of ALL time) is a different period piece. It centres on Irish gangsters in the 1930's. But while the plot is an ingenious homage to the gangster film's of Bogart and Cagney, it is the dialogue which makes it shine. Once again, astonishing characterizations rule the day, as the conflicted Tom Regan plays both sides against each other for reasons even he may not understand.

An added bonus is the introduction, written by the Coen's sometime film editor. It is an unusual choice, as he goes to great lengths to describe how much he does NOT like the scripts, or film in general. It serves to heighten interest in their content, and does prove that the Coens are not for everyone. For those of us you cannot wait for their next film, this is a treat.
