The popular attention in the Protestant world towards traditional Reformed theology and thought that has come about in the last 30 years or so, has had multiple attempts of explaining just what the encompassing nature of Reformed theology looks like. Some have been attempts to be extremely contemporary, some have been dry theological tomes, accessible to only those who are already presupposed to that corner of the Protestant world. What the compilation of chapters, by different authors, in Back to Basics, have done is to present a readable explanation of traditional Reformed theology, beginning with the doctrine of a sovereign God that rules personally in his creation.

A risk with any work that has multiple authors, and this one has four sections, with a different author in each, is that the writing will be uneven and that thoughts developed in one part of the book will be dropped totally later on. As such, even in good books, with well written ideas, stand alone chapters are better remembered than others.

In this book, the chapters on sanctification, or how the Christian grows in his faith and what that means for his vocation and all areas of life; and the section on the covenant nature dealings between God and his people are nicely done. The sections dealing with the doctrine of God and the role of the church do read dryly at times.

The general reader, who is interested in a high view of a personal yet universal God of the Bible and who is looking for a clear, succint teaching on justification and how that applies to the whole life of the individual will find this work useful. Unfortunately, there has much contention historically, and even in recent years among different parties in the Protestant world, between the covenant and dispensational or even more recently towards things like open theism. Some of these arguments have been needlessly distracting from the heart of the gospel. What the authors of Back to Basics have done, is to write a genearlly lucid explanation for how Reformed theology flows into every other area of the Christian life, and to do that in a way that is not argumentative or contentious. And for that, the reader should be grateful, and should find the book a fine complement to their personal study.

This book is responsible for introducing me to the Reformed faith. For years I had been told of the "evils" of Calvin and his twisting of God's character... afterall, he's a lawyer... and who can trust those guys? But what I found shocked me! The reformed faith actually made sense (go figure...)and had no semblence to the caricature the critics like to draw of it.

I was going through a rough time in my faith and I decided to re-examine things I had been taught in church when I stumbled on this little gem of a book. This book was the stepping stone to my discovering the Reformed faith and gave me a firm foundation that had never been built in my life. I continue to return to my copy from time to time for its concise examples, thoroughness and extremely readable style... my paperback edition is extremely dog-eared.

If you are interested in testing the waters of historical, evangelical Pretestantism, I heartily recommend this book as a launching point.

The book is divided into four sections: Conversion, The Covenant, The Church and The Christian Life. Each chapter in every section has study questions that reinforce and help the reader gain a deeper understanding of each section. The foreword is written by RC Sproul.

Doug Wilson, Doug Jones, Roger Wagner and David Hagopian have put together a well-rounded presentation of the Reformed Faith. As Roger Wagner, one of the authors, states, "the Reformed faith starts and stops with the sovereign and gracious God who has revealed Himself in Scripture." That's the focus and starting point for every discussion in the book.

Many authors simply complain about the condition of the Church. Not these authors. They exercise terrific insights, give helpful direction and pastoral-theological wisdom that really does encourage the student of Scripture. Each message is an example of compassion.

A short summary of the book from the book: "[God} is, and forever will be, preeminent in all things (Col. 1:18)." In all areas of life, God is primary and it is Him that we glorify in all things. Conversion, covenant, church and life, all things are for Him and through Him. The authors' theses are complete and clear. Their goal was accomplished: Why is Reformed theology such a good thing (or is it)?

This title is recommended by: RC Sproul, Jay Adams, E. Calvin Beisner, James Montgomery Boice, D. James Kennedy, John Frame, Jerry Bridges, GI Williamson and Steve Brown.

I've read several of the books that are often suggested as introductions to Reformed thought. This is the first one that doesn't focus on Calvinistic soteriology to the exclusion of other equally (or perhaps more) important aspects of the Reformed view of what Scripture teaches. My only real quibble is that the title ought to be Back to Intermediates, because there are more foundational doctrines than these - but all Protestants agree about those.

The book is divided into four sections, each written by a different author:

Doug Wilson contributes the chapters on salvation. He very able covers justification and predestination. Doug Jones contributes the section on covenantal theology. Covenant theology is the true heart of the Reformed viewpoint. These few chapters ably lay out the scriptural basis for it and explore the implications of it. A third section concerns the church, including its nature, the sacraments, and church discipline. This is the weakest section of the book, but still adequate for the overall purpose. Particularly, one wishes that more time would have been spent on the nature of worship and on the place of the sacraments in the corporate life of the church. Finally, Hagopian himself handles the section on the Christian life, which is mostly a theology of sanctification. This is perhaps the most immediately practical of the sections.

Each chapter ends with a dozen or so review questions. We are considering using this book in a Sunday school class, so that is a very definite plus. Any criticism that could be leveled against the book would be on the basis that it could have treated a subject more thoroughly, but doing so would have necessitated expanding the book beyond its purpose.

Most protestant denominations praise the efforts of Luther and the other founding fathers but since have adapted a very different theology. Hagopian, Wilson, Jones, and Wagner do a good job of bringing us back to the "richness of the Reformed faith." First and foremost, it's biblical. In addition, it's logical and the most glorious! Read this and let's bring the glory back to God, not man.

I found The Badenweiler Waltz an enjoyable and moving story. While reading the book, the quote at the beginning of the book - "If I am to be a fool, let me be a dancing fool." - kept running through my mind, so clearly framing the story. G. W. Kroeker's heroine Elizabeth had led a useful life, but without ever stepping out of the inertia of her self-imposed restricted world and taking the risk of pursuing her dream of becoming a writer ... without venturing forth, taking some significant risks, and dancing. The result was a challenging yet hopeful story. A particularly interesting aspect of The Badenweiler Waltz was the short stories within the novel that revealed the inner reasons for her self-restricted life. Here the main character becomes the author, and we get to look more deeply into all that had, prior to Badenweiler, kept her from dancing. These stories-within-the-story gave psychological depth to the theme of the risks of change. However, this hopeful story was also colored with the dark tones of terminal illness. This aspect was all the more moving after reading the forward and getting a peek at what seemed to have been a similar sort of beautifully meaningful tragedy in the sickness and death of Monika, the author's wife. There were many other things to like about this book: the account of a significant friendship, the greater compassion and healing to be found in whole-person medicine, the interaction of German and American cultures, the little bits of German dialogue, and simply very good story-telling. For me, this dance was definitely worth the venture.

This is an intriguing book by an excellent writer. The front and back covers are photographs of the location in Germany where much of the story takes place. The narrator is a woman who has gone there to die. In some ways entering a foreign country seems an apt metaphor for death. However, once there, from the open window of her second story room in the Schwartzwalder Hof, Elizabeth hears some music. This also too takes on meaning. Does it represent the chance to have her first romantic fling with a smarmy young, orchestra conductor, or some hopefulness about her life she may have overlooked in her short story writing (she was a high school English teacher despite an MFA in creative writing) or is it something else. Badenweiler is a small spa town where Stephen Crane and Chekhov spent their last days. There are allusions to them and to other writers and poets that add richness to the story, but that is secondary. The real focus is on Elizabeth's emotional journey.

The author's own wife died before this book was published and it is dedicated to her memory. I am amazed that a man can so effectively write from a woman's perspective, some of this he must have learned from her. But in the book when Elizabeth first started re-reading early short stories she had written as a young woman, I did have some reservations. Was this material that, by contrast, revealed something we couldn't see directly in the older woman or was it just a way for the writer to recycle some of his own earlier efforts? In an oblique reference to one of Henry James's famous stories the novel states, "She had known almost from the very beginning that for her, the jungle was silent, eerily empty. But if there was nothing out there, nothing truly wonderful or horrible, why had she been so frightened all her life of the unknown." Right there I think G. W. Kroeker hooks every English major in the country. Ultimately isn't that the question behind each book we read: What is it we lack that we hope it will provide answers to? "It's not just about words and sentences, Miss Kurz," her former writing professor states, "but you have to say something with them, something of substance."

That message comes down to: Are we "fools who dance or fools who watch the dance." The "Badenweiler Waltz" does the latter so that Elizabeth (and the reader) can do the former. There are revelations along the way (one surprising one involves her mother) but this novel is as filling as a farmer's omelets and ultimately as satisfying as a good bottle of German wine. And, on a personal note from someone who spent four years in Germany (though a bit to the north), let me say that the exquisite detail, which captures the charm of the people and the countryside, make this the next best thing to an actual journey there. Prepare to dance!

After thoroughly enjoying G.W. Kroeker's "The Magi At Christmas," I was very excited to settle in with "The Badenweiler Waltz," and I'm happy to say that my expectations were quickly exceeded. The complex, yet challenging journey we take with Elizabeth is, at times, heartwrenching, painful and even frustrating and yet, it also unmistakeably helps elevate and strengthen your belief that if and when you come face to face with your own mortality, you will somehow overcome the natural tendency to fear, and embrace a deeper tendency to learn, to love, and to always dance to whatever song life decides to play for you at the time.

As others have mentioned, this wonderful story is also generously wrapped with the essences of the food, wine, and scenery of Germany's Black Forest, and it all makes for the perfect backdrop on a terrific journey.

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Waltz." It left me with a feeling of hope and encouragement. The characters are warm and real. While Elizabeth has problems, she also has the courage to face them, overcoming the negative, achieving the positive, and therefore offering hope to all who would embrace life and be willing to chance "dancing." It is one of the most positive stories about life and its living that I've read. I highly recommend it!"

I, too, have followed G. W. Kroeker's writing career and eagerly awaited publication of THE BADENWEILER WALTZ. This wonderful novel was worth the wait. It is the best of his work--richly layered, wonderfully complex and so finely written. I cared about all the characters but especially Elizabeth--with her few joys, plentiful regrets, and yet a hopeful heart. The author has an equisite gift for creating a sense of place, food and wine that made me nearly be able to see, smell and taste what he was describing.

I enthusiastically recommend THE BADENWEILER WALTZ. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great conceptual book that is helping me understand what to think about while brainstorming and planning. It is finely written and easy to read. I would not say this book is full of tools to use. So, you won't find hundreds of templates and samples, rather it thoroughly explains what is important and tells you why. I am planning two initial readings, one to get the gist of it and a second to do the work it recommends. I feel this book will be useful again and again but more as a guide rather than a toolkit.

This is an excellent tool for potential and new business owners. It is a guide that makes sense and is straight to the point. For those who have already started their own business, it is an excellent reference to keep at your finger tips just incase you run into any obstacles.

For anybody who wants to raise money for their new business, this book is a must read.

I am toying with the idea of starting a IT consulting company and this book has forced me to really think things through. It is not easy to get a succesful venture started and it helps if you do all the hard work before you meet with potential investors.

OK - so you want to start a business but you do not have a Mickey Goldmill (Rocky Balboa's trainer in the Rocky movies) in your corner.

Well, you can get the next best thing -- Ed Rogoff's "Bankable Business Plans!"

Rogoff's "Bankable Business Plans" guides you through the fundamentals of building a plan, illuminates some all too common errors as well as uncommon successes, provides useful exercises to sharpen your message, and, in general, challenges you to take a disciplined and comprehensive approach to pursuing your dream of starting your own business.

Writing a business plan is like training to be a boxer. You need a plan and you have to work at. So fire up the laptop, fire up your heart by watching the old Rocky trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O8xoN9NSzw
, (it's your dream after all), open up Rogoff's book and start typing! Good Luck!

I am in the middle of starting my own small business. I bought 4 different books on business plan writing and this one is the one that I kept referring to. It is by far the best of the bunch. It's very readable, and it is organized so well that I was able to use it as a reference book while I was working on my plan. I also used their online tool too, which helped me generate preliminary financials to take to the bank (and to my now first investor). Overall, if you are at any point of the seemingly daunting task of writing a business plan, this book is the best one I found to get you through it.

This is probably the best book ever written on the subject of waterbaptism. Thorough, complete, liberating.
A minor comment one could make is the confusion with baptism with the Spirit at some points, but the writer's monumental explanation of the sacramental value of believer's baptism makes up for it for sure.
In short the writer is saying that baptism is a expression of saving faith that perfects that same saving faith - with all the wonderful blessings of salvation! (James 2:22)

I came to this book needing questions answered about biblical baptism. I got that and so much more. The author not only deals with the issue in a comprehensive way, but in the wider context of the church and the Holy Spirit, and in doing so deals with many other issues aound confirmation, laying on of hands, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the church. Essential reading for anyone pondering the complexities of such matters.

G. R. Beasely-Murray (B-M) set out to write a book on his full understadning of baptism, and the results are amazing. I would warn you that this book is not easy reading, but is necissary reading for those who are truely interested in God's word. It seems like B-M did not leave any stones unturned in his quest to understand baptism. He brings anthropology, history, literature, theology and many years of knowledge out in this book.

B-M starts with a pre-christian history of baptism and cerimonial washing, including the Baptisms of the essenes, John, and the baptism of Jesus. He then looks at the formation of Christians baptism in the bible (broken down into each book starting with acts). Then he does a topical look at what Christian baptism means and theology about baptism: icluding grace, repentence, and faith which are almost always overlooked in modern discussion of baptism. The book ends with a look at infant baptism.

B-M is thorough in his quest to figure out baptism. He rest his arguments on facts and logical conclussions instead of assumptions (normally a problem with modern theologins). Instead of writing a book to support his denominations theology, he has the courage to challenge it (and other denominations as well).

Although this in not meant to be an "easy reading" book on the vast subject of baptism, "Baptism in the New Testament" is well worth a careful read by the serious Bible student. This scholarly book is written by a Baptist, but as the back cover says (and I agree), "his discussion transcends denominational lines." Baptism is a vital part of the Christian experience, yet it is so often misunderstood, especially when it comes to any possible role baptism has with salvation (specifically, justification). Beasley-Murray concentrates much attention on the historical aspect of the doctrine and shows how baptism has been practiced and believed in the last 20 centuries. I would heartily recommend this book to the person who is serious about his/her study.

I found the author while trying to research Baptist views on baptism, and found Beasley-Murray far different from the faith-only Calvinism I was expecting. Later in a seminar, he spoke of undertaking a project to address the Eschatological Discourse of Mark 13, saying that scholars had for too long "played ducks and drakes" with the passage. Surely the same applies to this subject!

I found many of my own views supported (baptism has a salvific role) and had other views thoroughly changed and elevated by this important book. His understanding of the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" was enlightening and convincing, causing me to depart from the dominant view in my fellowship.

Other reviewers have, however, noted the author's inconsistency on some points. Most disturbing was the treatment of infant baptism which was upheld in spite of earlier insistence on the sole suitability for believer's baptism as an application of Scripture on the subject of baptism. In his seminar, the author also attributed salvation to non-baptized, wrongly-baptized among the denominations on the visible activity of the Holy Spirit among them. Could not a similarly false argument be made for non-Christian religions?

In the seminar he also addressed the puzzling matter of why many evangelicals dodge the plain meaning of Scriptures relevant to baptism. He suprised me again by declaring that Baptists of Europe differ from their American counterparts by upholding baptism's role in salvation. Why not in America? He suggests the current standoff goes back to debates with Alexander Campbell and others from the 18th century on who were intent on throwing off denominational entanglements and restoring the NT church. Many evangelical scholars are now acknowledging the error and accepting the truth, even if filtering this down into their churches remains problematic.

Baptism's salvific role should cause no affront to Reformed believers. We see nothing meritorious, and have no pretentions of saving ourselves or adding to the finished cross-work of Jesus. Baptism is salvific along with other required "works" (believing, repentance, confession of Jesus's Lordship, calling on the Name, etc.) only because they are the means of ushering people into relationship with Him. Salvation is found in Jesus, and in the relationship with Him.

I highly recommend the Black Dog opera books. They're the perfect way to learn about an opera: They include cd's of the opera by outstanding singers, photos of performances, historical and critical commentary, a scene-by-scene summary of the plot, and the complete libretto in both English and the original language, so you can play around with the translation if you're interested. They can't be beat.

This is a wonderful study score to Rossini's wonderful masterpiece. The story of a Barber named Figaro, who is the person that everyone comes to seeking advice.
It's easy to read and the size is standard (9in x 12in). It lies easily on a music stand or desk. It's low price is great for the starving music student. I highly reccommend this for professionals and opera-goers alike.

Be aware that the book shown when you take a "Look Inside" is NOT the book you get. What they show is a bound copy of the musical score with the libretto added. What you get is the libretto described in the written review, no musical score. That having been said, the book you get is useful and of interest, and the CD is a great recording.

One of Rossini's best operas, the Barber of Seville, is immortalized here in another one of Dover's fine scores. From the fast-paced overture to the "Figaro" aria (both made famous in old Bugs Bunny cartoons), this opera is nonstop greatness.

As usual, Dover has provided us with a book of the highest quality: they sew their books instead of gluing them so as for them to stay bound and be flexible, and they print legibly. Unfortunately, legible print is becoming disappointingly rare in modern scores, but Dover is the exception.

For a great score of a great opera at a great price, you can't go wrong with Rossini's Barber of Seville.

This book and CD set are the perfect combination for those who are new to the world of opera and not fluent in foreign language. Better than just a synopsis, the libretto in English lets you read every word so you won't miss the humor or pathos. As a homeschooling mom, I really appreciated this set as a teaching tool. I hope to increase my collection of The Black Dog Opera Library series.

I read this book in the summer of 2006 with every intention to post my thoughts here. Alas, now almost 2008.
At the risk of diminutizing this book's breadth and beauty, I would call this an excellent beach book; it's an amazingly fast read. Everyone in my household and most guests of longer than a couple days have read it. And loved it.
When reading I usually get into my zone by the 2nd or 3rd chapter of a given book; the kind of zone where one becomes irritable if interrupted. With this story, it was almost immediate.
The characters all have endearing qualities and no matter how fantastic something appears, it is believable- which to me is a sign of excellent writing whether in film, television or books.
The characters, the scenes, the mood of a conversation, the weather, the timelines- all composed with wonderful imagery.
When I finished reading it I wanted more but knew a sequel would only sully the package. But who knows, I'm not a writer by trade nor a qualified critic of things non-existent.
I heartily recommend this book to people of all walks of reading preferences.
Rating books is hard for me because all books I've read, even if about the same topic, appeal to different emotions or to different levels of objectivity.
Why only four stars? Like most things subjective, I don't subscribe to various creativities being able to attain a 100% grade. To me, it's PASS or FAIL; plus or minus.
My grade should be obvious.

I absolutly LOVE this book! I couldn't put it down. I read it in one day from start to finish! Miller has a way of drawing you into his work that you begin to feel the emotions of the characters! At times I squirmed in my seat at the emotions reading this book evoked! This is a must read for everyone. You truly will NOT be disappointed!

This is one of my all time favorite books. It is an amazing story of love and hate. Forgiveness and Revenge. You will not be able to put it down. It is a story you will never forget, or want to. A complete original.

You will not want to say goodbye to these characters. Bayou Jesus is a story of faith, love, redemption and in some ways revenge. Frank Potter and his life will cause you to think about your own dreams and ideals. M.G. Miller writes with a honest, lyrical style that leaves the reader spellbound.

I was spellbound with Bayou Jesus from beginning to end. M.G. Miller writes with such flowing detail, once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. You will come to love the main character, Frank Potter, a young black man who feels he has been blessed by Jesus, and loathe Samson Boudreax, a political white man who has no compassion for Frank. The other characters (mostly women) in the book are just as compelling. M.G. Miller's writing is gripping and persuasive. I look forward to years of writing from this new author!

Love the book!!
Our granddaughter had this book memorized when she was 3 or 4. It's a very good book for kids and grannys too!!

When my brother and I were three and five either our mother or father would read this book to us everynight. We had hundreds of books but this one was our favorite. As the years have a tendency wear on books, our copy was in very sad shape when my daughter came along nearly 20 years later. I bought a new copy of "The Beast in the Bathtub" and gave it to my mother for christmas with a note saying it was from my daughter. The happy memories of hearing mom read the book to my little brother and I were brought back in a rush when my daughter climbed up onto her Granny's lap and heard the story for the first time. It was a real tear jerker.

I loved this book when I was a kid and now my son loves it. A silly and fun read :)

This story is about a boy named Lewis, he is terrified of the bathtub because he thinks there is a monster or Beast in the tub. His mother insists that he take a bath. All the way through the story one thing leads to another. I think the illustrator did a great job of making the pictures describe what was going on in the story. This is a great book for all children to read.

I bought this book in 1987 for my then 6 year old. It quickly became his favorite. The friendly green monster helped him to conquer his own fear of bed time monsters, and it became our joke that 'the beast' was under his bed guarding him! He is now a U.S. Marine and the book has become a favorite of his 2 and 4 year old little brothers who love it not only because 'Big brother Dave' loves it (still), but because they love to join in the pillow fight at bedtime and imagine stealing apples from the kitchen when the sheriff and deputy are watching t.v. They love to call out the final sentence with me as I read.... "OF COURSE there's no beast in the bathtub.... he's under my bed!!!"

This is an awesome book. It is the first book I read by myself (at age four no less!) It is so funny and the illustrations are fantastic. Buy it, read it, love it. One of my favorite parts is when the little league players throw the tomatoes onto the sandwich and the firemen use their truck to squeeze ketchup onto the sandwich. It is so fanciful and just what the beginning reader likes to read!

I have read this book to many classrooms of kids of all ages and they love it.

I recited this book in front of an audience when I was nine years old. I won second price for my efforts. I would do almost anything to get a hold of this treasure once again so that my children could reep it's rewards as I did.

This book brings a flood of childhood memories. The storyline is incredibly fun and children love all things that are larger than life. The iilustrations are amamzing and nforgettable!

My mother used to read this book to my brother and I when we were little. I remember everything about it so clearly; the little man, the children and the tons of food. Especially the surprise ending which should have been a sequel: The Biggest Sundae Ever! This book is one that I and many will treasure for years to come. I can't wait to read it to my own kids.

I have shot a bare bow nearly all my life. When I finally decided to buy a new bow with all the accessories, I wasn't sure where to start and how to use all the new stuff. This book was excellent in helping me become familiar with my new bow. The pictures are great and the text very educational. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn or re-learn about the bow and arrow.

This book is great for highlighting many aspects of archery and providing information that is useful for a beginner and experienced archer. It is a nice text that compiles information that would be useful to have as a reference. There are tuning methods, suggestions for shooting form, tips on how to fix your bow and add accessories. A very solid book with plenty of pictures for any archery fan.

I very much enjoyed this book. It was a great refresher since I haven't shot a bow in quite a few years. It also had lots of great information I didn't know, such as paper tuning, in depth information on arrows and arrow selection. I highly recommend this book.

i cant say i have any bow hunting skill whatsoever but this book has taught my what to look for in equipment and to practice my posture. i recomend this for people looking for a vague idea on equipment to buy, but not for the specifics.

EVERYTHING you always wanted to know about Bow Hunting but were too intimidated to ask. Being a woman just picking up the sport of bow hunting at age 37 I would walk into sporting goods and archery stores and be overwhelmed by the amount of information I needed to know before I ever purchased a bow. This book helped me know what equipment I needed and what equipment was just smoke and mirrors. It also prepared me for "target panic" and explained in detail about every other facet that I could have ever thought of and even some I didn't consider. Great for anyone just picking up the sport.

You can hear the creak of the rigging and smell the gunpowder in this time machine of a novel that takes you back to the War of 1812. Wallace makes you understand what an important time in American history it was, and brings you near with a love story that could break your heart. Its people and times come clear in Wallace's knowledgeable descriptions of love and loss--and an important victory--in this 19th century tale.

Willis Holm, NYC

Here is a story of history, romance, suspense, and exciting battle scenes from the War of 1812. The reader is presented with a novel that is hard to put down.

Jonathan Coyne and the love of his life Liz Wade provide the reader with a humanistic love story of separation, loneliness, but never-failing love for each other. Phil Wallace ranks with many fine authors whose books I have read, including DeMille, Wood,Patterson, Sheldon and Grisham.

Mr Wallace has combined touching romance and swashbuckling adventure with page-turning intense momentum, and done it all in a highly accurate historical setting. A fast read but very memorable.

As a sailor myself, I appreciated Mr. Wallace's expert handling of the sea scenes and work on board ship in his "Call of the Sea." The storyline was engrossing and historically interesting and the protagonist was a person you would really like to meet--I found myself pulling for him and for the eventual reunion with his fair lady. A good read.

The answer is unequivocally "indeed!" It is an easy read by an apparent Renaissance Man (read the bio). He has created a fascinating high-seas drama with a strong love interest. Fiction and actual history work especially well together as Washington burns and Baltimore is besieged during the War of 1812. The book is not just for lovers of sailing, the sea and naval history although it will appeal to them especially. It is for lovers of adventure, romance and the drama of life in general. Like Merrill Streep in my favorite movie, Out of Africa, Phil Wallace simply knows how to tell a good story. You will be engaged, engrossed, enchanted and entertained. Do NOT miss this one!
