Perry Books

When I think of childhood companions, Miffy and Hello Kitty make that list. This was my favorite "Miffy" book when I was young and now that it is popular once more I can read it to my 5 year-old sister-in-law. "Miffy In The Snow" is young Miffy's adventure in the lovely winter white powder that all kids adore! Miffy is such a delightful character for any young (or young-at-heart) person! If you have any ankle-biters in your house, "Miffy" is sure to please. And even if you don't, "Miffy" is sure to bring back some fond memories!

This eBook was very informative. It is a good read and very well done. I can now feel comfortable about buying guns and ammo on line. I am confident that this will help anyone who reads it.

One of my favorite Georgia authors is Jackie K Cooper who lives in Perry, Georgia, and has visited my store several times for autograph sessions or just to stop in to say hello. I had read his previous books and looked forward to this book, "Halfway Home."

This book is a collection of short stories, many of which hit so close to home for me, like when he got to travel in the backseat of a police car. He was traveling north on I-75 o n his way to Atlanta to preview a movie and then interview the star of the movie. The traffic came to a complete stop (nothing particularly unusual for Atlanta as we all know) but the driver behind him didn't stop. After the police came and the tow truck towed his car off to a storage yard he was stranded on 75 so the officer kindly said that he would take him to the Ritz -Carlton in Buckhead if Jackie could help him find it. I thought that all police officers knew how to find anyplace that you needed to go, but not in Atlanta! This officer lived in Alabama and drove to Atlanta each day that he was scheduled to work so he didn't know where this prestigious hotel was located. Now it was time to get into the police car. As Jackie started to open the front door of the police car the officer said that he would have to ride in the back where they put all tough criminals. He sure didn't want anyone to see him at the Ritz getting out of the backseat of a police car, so he had the officer drop him out in the parking lot of the Lenox Mall and then lugged his bags to the Ritz. I could really sympathize with him in his viewpoint of riding in the backseat of the police car because I have had the same experience after a car accident and my car was towed away. His experience was funny while mine was nerve wracking to say the least!

Then there is Jackie's cat story. Jackie is a "cat person" having an indoor cat that accidentally got out without anyone noticing that he was gone. The cat was overjoyed to get back into the safety of his home, literally jumping into Jackie's arms when he opened the door. Jackie's cat stayed out less than 24 hours, while ours stayed out for 2 days one time, but she was just as glad to get back inside the house as his was.

Jackie has had trouble getting people in recognizing that his name is Jackie. I had a similar problem with teachers at school and church who insisted that my real name was James not Jimmie. My mother would have to bring my birth certificate to convince her that I knew what my name was.

Jackie also had an experience with the Great Flood of 94. I had an experience with a flood not in 94 but just last year in 2005. Hurricane Dennis was far away but the rains were here! I was in the den working on my computer when my wife Fran said frantically, "Quick come look out the bay window! We have a river flowing just outside the window!" Now I thought that she was exaggerating. So I slowly made my way to the living room to look at HER river. She was right and we ended up wading out of the house in water waist deep.

So sit back, pick up Jackie's book "Halfway Home" and start to learn who Jackie is through his writings. You might even see yourself in some of the stories.

A combat packed page turner with an totally unsuspecting ending that'll blow you away!!!

I liked the buying experience, book was in great shaoe and showed up very fast

An excellent book! The character's truly came to 'life' for me and I felt irritated if I had to put the book down for any length of time,which must be a good indication of how the book 'grabbed' me! I found it amusing,sensitive in parts and fast moving. When can we expect the sequel!

Terry Flanagan, follows family tradition by coming a firefighter. Terry is impulsive, compassionate, and short of patience. A young migrant girl, Manuela, has touched her heart, and she wants to open a clinic to help the migrant workers.

Dr. Jake Landsdowne is an unwelcome guest from Terry's past. Two years ago they were involved in a situation that caused the death of a young woman who was stalking him. The fallout destroyed his carreer and sent Terry scurrying back home. Now Jake has been assigned by the hospital to oversee the clinic she wants to open. He is getting his career back on track and is determined to not let anything get in his way. Unfortunately, Terry keeps throwing up roadblocks in his road to success.

Marta Perry is the author of many books and she has a gift of pulling the reader into the story. Her series about the lively Flanagan famiily have kept fans entertained through a list of fascinating characters. The plotting is skillful and the faith message subtle but clear. The plight of migrant workers in America is a situation ripe for trouble. People with no chance of justice are locked into a lifestyle they have no hope of escaping. Marta Perry does a great job of revealing this problem. If you like the Flanagan's, this is one book you won't want to miss.

This book is wonderfully put together, containing a wealth of detail that you will only fully appreicate as you realise the final puzzle. Perhaps being slightly too hard is a criticism that could be levelled at this book, but challenges never hurt anyone, and the Fickling/Hinton series are pretty much unique in that each individual story creates its own mythology. Brilliant.

I was hesitant to read a "romance novel" but tried this one and found it very enjoyable. The writing is well done, the characters are believable and the situations are true to life. I have known real people who mere in families like the Flanagans and also I have know real people like Laura the single mom who is the main character. To me this book rings true to life, and I appreciated that fact.
The dialog is not "cheezy." The spiritual elements are not at all preachy, but more in step with my own understanding of how God works as we wrestle with understanding life and other people.
I need not relate the theme and plot as others have done so, but I just wanted to add my two cents worth. As a man I liked this book and give it five stars. I plan to read more novels in the "Love Inspired" series.

I really like the way that the author(s) have layed out this text. I find it very easy to comprehend and review material. The examples and pictures are wonderful. Most of all I love the bonus side stories that coincide with each topic. Would definitely recommend the use of this book.
