More than a book of war stories, this is a testimony to the miraculous saving power of Jesus Christ. Dallas Plemmons tells of his actual experiences in the Korean War; how he accepted the Lord in a foxhole, escaped death 5 times, was captured, tortured and imprisoned in China, and miraculously translated over a mountain range to safety. There is a story of "Packy" his Number One houseboy and his soul-winning efforts even at his death. Only 155 pages, this book will stay in your heart for years to come.

If Not Now, When?

I love this book! Someone gave it to me as a gift. It has pages of beautiful photographs and wonderfully wise quotes from Tsem Rinpoche's dharma lectures. It would make a wonderful book for anyone that you love.

Of all the books on the Qabala I have read, from the traditional Jewish teachings to the books on it for the use of magick, this is by far my favorite. My copy is well worn, with lots of dog-eared pages, highlighting and underlining. I love this book.

I appreciate the in-depth information on the paths of the Qabala. It takes the reader to a gentle understanding of a powerful subject and does so in a manor that will not unbalance the neophyte.

The book teaches path working with the use of many meditative options such as, imagining, candle burning, use of specific incense, stones, arch angels, sound and dance.

I was surprised that when I decided to use the techniques in the path working that I did so in a slow manor. I would do a meditation with the book at my side and know that I had experienced something of importance, even though I wasn't sure what it was. After doing a path there would be enriching changes in my life. A month or two later I would be called back to the tree to do the next path. Again, it would be followed by more changes, some very subtle and some not so subtle! I loved and appreciated the whole process. I am in a debt to Mr. Andrews for his writing.

"India's Information Revolution" outlines the historical and social development of India's mass media. It is a must-read communication handbook for any serious student or researcher of India or even communication and development studies. The authors' organize and present benchmark information on the overall media development as well as specific media. In a sense, this book is the handbook of communication and development studies for the Indian Subcontinent.

In the early chapter's Singhal and Rogers define communication and development as using media to enhance social change. The rest of the book provides numerous summaries and detailed case studies exhibiting how the media in India are used to empower societal change. Singhal provdes interesting angles and dimensions of the cultural consequences of media as when he reports that Hindu's performed "purifying" ceremonies before watching the televised version of a great Indian epic.----Mark Fabiano

We loved this book. A story of an abused child, her degenerate mother and how God worked in all their lives. We also enjoyed Christie's Old Organ and a Basket of Flowers. Great to read to the kids, thought provoking, and give the right examples on how to respond to people. The language is more formal than the slang-filled books of today, but these books cam leave an eternal impact. The book we purchased was hardback and Lamplighter publishes this title as well as many other great old books.

JPS The Americanization Of Jewish Culture 1888-1988 is a comprehensive history of The Jewish Publication Society and its mission to become America's foremost publisher of Jewish books in English. From the efforts JPS's founders, a group of genttel Philadelphia philanthropists, to the story of how a tragic love affair with a JPS author was the turning point for Henrietta Szold to become a founder of Hadassah and Youth Aliyah, to a close scrutiny of the deliberations and behind-the-scenes work that went into the JPS Bible translations of 1917 and 1985, which have been since deemed acceptable to all major branches of Judaism. Part reflection, part manifesto, part record and part testimony to an ongoing dream, JPS The Americanization Of Jewish Culture 1888-1988 is a welcome addition to Judaic studies and literature reference shelves.

Janine Marchessault's study of McLuhan's ideas really engages with the subject. Rather than a dry, academic reading of McLuhan, Marchessault really makes his work come alive, and shows us why he's such a key thinker of the 20th century. As I read this book, I found myself applying McLuhan's ideas to present day culture and media. This book helped me to realize that McLuhan gives us very important tools that we can use to help us understand our society. There are a lot of McLuhan books on the market, and one of the things that makes this my favorite is Marchessault's willingness to let us know what she thinks. One has the sense of an intellectual jouney...
