Freeman Books

treasury of healing advice from doctors, philosphers, clerics and other noteworthy men and Women.

When I was in elementary school, when the opportunity to buy Scholastic books occurred, my parents would generally buy me four or five. This book was one of my favorites and I read and reread it many times.
Ty is a boy living with his parents in an old Western town that is now almost a ghost town. In fact, the three people of his family are the only people left in the town. They have a grocery store and they survived because the local ranchers bought their groceries there. However, new and bigger stores have opened in another town and now no one shops there. Ty's parents inform him that they will be moving in two weeks.
Ty is disappointed and he visits the local ranchers, asking them to return to his parents' store. While they are sympathetic, they inform Ty that they simply cannot get all they need at his small store. When Ty learns that his two pen pals are coming for a visit, his parents relent and agree to stay in the town until his friends leave.
The friends bring the diary of their grandfather, which mentions a cave nearby. Their excitement is further enhanced when they read that there is gold in the cave. At first, their search is futile, but eventually they find the cave. Unfortunately, some local mineralogists explore the cave and report that there is no gold in the cave. Ty is then resigned to leaving but when the news of the cave gets out, people come to see it and the town is reborn.
Even though it is a simple story, it remains one of my favorites from my youth. Ty keeps trying until he succeeds and saves his home. That will always be an uplifting story.

This book came out of personal pain. Also I have worked with many people as they have walked through the grieving process. I get a lot of mail from readers of this book from all over the world. It seems to tap into the universal language of suffering.

Here is the review about this book from Bookstore Journal: "Many books similar to 'God Is Not Fair' have been written recently, but Freeman's work is especially noteworthy....Rather than easy, pat answers, Freeman offers solid biblical responses. And at each chapter's end he asks pointed questions that would help readers come to grips with their feelings and reflect on the truth of God's Word. In easy-to-understand terms, 'God Is Not Fair' explains a profound theological mystery. After finishing this book, readers will have the courage to face life's seemingly unfair circumstances and to have faith in God's absolute wisdom and justice."

Some of the chapter titles are: "I Never Want to Hurt This Bad Again", "Buzzard Bait", "How to Balance Your Fuss Budget", "Innocence Lost, Purity Gained", "Skyscraper Theology", and "Don't Lose Your Spit and Vinegar".

First published in 1959, and reprinted in 1971 and 1973,this wonderful children's book takes a future look at space tourism.
Reviewing it in 2004, we have not yet seen a moon station, and organized trips to the moon, but we are beginning to see first space tourism trips, albeit for multi millionaires at the moment.

"The moon is up there far away. Would you like to go there?
Someday you may".

The book teaches young boys and girls about space, the moon and space travel. It traces the trip of a little boy and father in a rocket, with astronauts to an international space station, and then to the moon, with the space suits and everything. Suitable for very young readers, for older readers there are always other details to notice. A wonderful little book for learning and for a journey of the imagination, about a scenario that we may really see in the decades to come.

An historically accurate look into the life and hardships of a Revolutionary War era pioneer. This book is great for younger readers because it contains no gratuitious sex or violence. It focuses on NY state history. Extensively re-searched.

The most comprehensive book on British Open Golf Courses around. This is outstanding and a must for any golfer!! Nice work Mike.A great gift for clients.It was so good I bought 20 copies for customers!

This is a much-needed, timely analysis and essay on racism in America. I found it to be well-written and easy to understand. It is "hard hitting", tell-it-like-it-is and to the point. I was captivated by insight after insight, chapter after chapter, so much so that I could not put it down until after I finished the whole assay. Mr. Freeman's concluding chapter and Epilogue convinced me that his thesis is "right on the money". What impressees me most about the essay is that Mr. Freeman, contrary to so many writers on the subject today, deal with the ultimate cause: fundamental moral and economic principles. Mr. Freeman gets to the heart and say it: good racism is the well-intentioned legislative attempts, like affirmative action, busing, racial redistricting, welfare, etc, to rectify racial discrimination (bad racism) and thereby improve the plight of those harmed by racism. But, as he demonstrate so cogently, these programs are counterproductive and morally bankrupt, just as bad racism is. Good racism perpetuates the stigma of inferiority, destroys individual pride and self-esteem, promotes the ideology of victimization and immorality. "Good" racism is not the answer. Again, like Booker T. Washington said many years ago, Mr. Freeman is right, the answer lies not in more government programs for Blacks, but in the right values, hard work, personal pride, and personal responsibility. This essay is a must read for all those Americans who sincerely want heal our national sickness.

Being a student in the author's first class ever, I can with expertise qualify this as one of the best grammar books I've ever seen. In the recent past I have become an English teacher at this level myself and find that using this book is the best way to engage students while getting the ugly grammar points across. No one likes grammar, that's a given. But this fact is only true because no one has been able to spark a student's interest while teaching them prepositions and punctuation. With the humor and interesting pictures, Freeman has found the thing that was lacking for grammar books. A great buy for any educator or parent who is trying to help their student keep grammar rules in their brain!

In the history of aviation the second world war represents a classic period in the refinement and perfection of the propeller driven military flying machine. The twelve aircraft featured in this book, designed and built amidst the heat and urgency of war as formidable weapons of destruction, were also marvels of modern technology embodying all that men would know about flying until the appearance of the turbine engine.

The story of these aircraft is told by an international team of expert aviation writers, and covers their design and production, specialized models and variants, their tactical deployment, the battles they fought in, and the exploits of their pilots. At the heart of the book are the magnificent illustrations of premier aircraft artist Rikyu Watanabe, including brilliant full-color aircraft profiles, detailed interior cutaways, control and weapons systems schematics, and actual squadron insignia. THe painstaking exactness of these paintings and drawings make this book a must for military and aviation historians, aircraft buffs, and model builders.
