Bush Books

This book is a must for anyone that wants a concise and quick background on all the United States Presidents. The book lists cabinet members, judicial appointments, running mates, election opponents, major accomplishments, campaign platforms, and the primary process in which each President secured the nomination. Each President short biography covers how they grew up, women they loved, and what shaped their leadership style.

If you are a history and political enthusiast this book is a great reference tool. It is also a great way to follow how the United States has progressed over the past three centuries. One fascinating part of the book is some of the newspaper quotes during each Presidency. With each President there is support and opposition for the President's policies. For example, it is interesting to see criticism of George Washington. Even the great Washington could not please everyone. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Presidential history.

This is a well written, well laid out source of good, accurate emergency information for the horse owner. When something bad happens, many of us just go blank, especially when it happens to our own best equine friend. This book tells you exactly what you need to know fast in an easily accesable format. Every barn needs to have this book handy. Buy it!

Even without the recipes (which are great) this book is an excellent read. I'll bet I've read a hundred "cowboy" books or cookbooks, and you can tell a mile away that the writer is basing their stories on second-hand adventures or even someone else's writing. These stories are clearly first-hand by someone who was not only there, but in the thick of it!

The recipes are delicious - I actually use this as a cookbook instead of a coffee table book. Highly recommended all the way around.

By chance I discovered Arthur Upfield's Napoleon Bonaparte (Bony) mysteries a few years ago when I bought "Murder Down Under" at a used book store. Though it has his most memorable character, "The Spirit of Australia," the story's only an average one for the series. However I was hooked. The remote location (Australia's outback) of most of Upfield's stories, the aborigine ethnography that runs as a thread though most of them, and his character descriptions held my interest more than following the various mysteries to their solution. Soon I'd purchased all the books in the series except "The Lure of the Bush." For some reason it's never been reprinted in a popular edition and it was imposible to buy at a reasonable price. I had to get it through interlibrary loan. Though it's his first "Bony," it's the best. I highly recommended it. And while I'm on the first/best Upfield subject, I'll recommend his "Gripped By the Drought." It antedates the Bony series and is Upfield's best work, mysteries included. In fact I'll go a long way further: It's one of the best novels ever written. "Gripped By the Drought" has it all. Plotting, characters, and writing are all well done. The several universal themes that run through the story are equally well handled. It'll hold your interest and it's memorable. As happened with another book I reviewed recently, Urling Coe's "Pioneer Doctor," some publisher -Scribner take notice - needs to reprint this with an introduction. "Gripped By the Drought" shouldn't be forgotten.

This monumental piece of work from the motivational speaker and prolific writer Chris Bush entitled Crossing Over Your Personal Barriers immediately captivates its vulnerable audience with poems of wisdom and realistic tales inspired by troubled styles.

From the gutters of the ghetto and the secrets of a prison cell comes the epic novel by Chris Bush (Crossing Over Your Personal Barriers).

Having had the opportunity to meet this fine young artist and community activist I have learn some the secrets of how to become a better human being. After witnessing the power of Chris Bush's message within his debut novel you realize there is hope, there is a God, and there are human beings who truly define the word "humanitarian".

Chris Bush is not only an inspiring writer for those whom have been condemned by society, but a spiritual guide for the strong, vulnerable and weak.
Chris Bush's debut literary piece Crossing Over Your Personal Barriers is a work that shows courage and compassion towards those many youths, adolescents, and adults still stuck on the over side of society's condemnation box.
Often this revisited condemnation equates to a gruesome reminder of a world once left................the world of imprisonment. However Crossing Over Your Personal Barriers helps the reader understand how to (while providing resources) overcome and break through the misconceived barriers of opportunity and social success.

Chris Bush's experience as a motivational speaker, career report writer, and ex-offender career counselor shows that not only does he talk the talk he writes the talk and walks the walks. Only after reading this magnificent manuscript will you truly understand and feel the power of hope, humanity, and empathy for those labeled as "outcasts".

I like the fact that this book shows the ship under construction. It is different from most ship books, and it gives some sense of just how big the ship is.

Dancing With the Kobzar is definitely the best book that I have ever read from the "Studies in the Anabaptist and Mennonite History" series. It takes the history of a small Mennonite college in NW Ohio, and actually makes it into interesting read. Not only that, but a clear thesis and structure are presented at the beginning of the work and never once does the author stray away from these. That, along with the books transitions, makes the piece flow together as if it was a New York Times bestseller. Finally, the masterpiece of the book is the index. It seems to have been put together by a genius, and allows for any scholar to find the information that he needs almost instantaneously. A must read for any BC alumni or scholars of the Mennonite religion.
