Precious Moments Storybook Bible

The Precious Moments Storybook Bible is a wonderful gift for a young child that is sure to please. The print is large and the pictures are fantastic. The stories, cant be beat...straight out of the Bible! What a wonderful way to get young kids engaged in Biblical interest! kids want to learn about God, thats innate. This book is a great way to charge forward with them and help them ground their faith in visual confirmation, which young readers both need and enjoy. This bible brings the stories out of the bible to life and the book really is wonderful. If you have been struggling with a gift idea, no child is too young for this book; it really is great! i would not gift it to anyone above the age of like 8 -- but from birth to 8, ok, from 1 year to 6, its a target find. From age 3 to 5 it would be ideal. You cant waste your time with this book; its a wonderful addition to building a treasured collection that will incresase a childs understanding of God and how God loves us. What better purpose can a book have?

Invasion by Jon Lewis

The author does a fine job setting up a sci fi story line but then he drops the ball on character development and plot development. The story arc is flawed in several places BUT ive seen much worse go tothe top of the charts because kids like fast action and this book has that. It reads like a cross between the motion pictures WANTED and the BOURNE series. Lots of action, lots of futuristic technology, and a hint of RESIDENT EVIL like corporate power out of a company called Trident. If you have a teen who enjoys reading, this book is ok, but I think the writer might be a tad schizo, due to all the mind control hogwash. People prefer differnt story lines. Please understand that I am a die hard Star Trek, fan and everything else falls below par. On a good point, it is well edited and easy to read and fast paced. A teenager could call it pretty good use of time to spend a few hours curled up with this book.

On This Day In Christian History by Robert Morgan

This author is becoming my favorite author, ahead of Max Lucado because of books like this book. He is not the most creative writer but he pulls out facts and makes wonderful straight line conclusions which are factual not speculative based.
Some books feel like the writer is trying to talk the reader into something that they think..thats not my favorite type. Robert Morgan, instead, presents facts and points out trends and Historical data. His work is work and its inspirational.
This book is the perfect gift for someone who feels like the world at large is propaganda and publicity based because it will give them Christian inspiration without leaving them feeling like they are being influenced.

Illegals The Unacceptable Cost of Americas Failure To Control Its Borders by Darrell Ankarlo

Well, if you enjoy reading about the old West, you will sure enjoy this book. The author is very passionate and one sided in his opinions. He seems to ignore that there are any other problems in the USA and implies that if we police our borders we could literally wipe out crime in America. makes me wonder if he has ever spent time in any of the other states. i understand that gangs are a big problem in the cities and poverty is a very real problem in the South. But no one problem can account for all of Americas troubles. The author is a radio talk show host, and comes across as such in his book. i think that he is at least a responsible writer, and hes trying to improve our society...but he thinks illegal immigration is our number one proble, and i disagree. our number one problem is our economy because that is a problem that affects every state, not just a few on the border. The only way we will ever be free of illegal immigration concerns is for Mexico to become a self supporting Nation, like Canada. We have never had a problem with Canadians illegally running into America. Frankly, with the state of the USA as it is; I wonder if Canada is beginning to have a problem with USA illegal immigrants.
If you really want to know what I think the author is really up to; its selling pot.
his entire case evolves around the hugh bales of pot the agents constantly seize in Arizona coming illegally from Mexico. it is a very short line in the sand to see that we can remove all their power by making pot legal. i think that is where the author is really going, he just doesnt want to come out and say that...and for the record I think the USA will soon make pot legal, Ive accepted that, but I think its a bad idea. Yes, it will likely solve our economic crisis from the tax generated, but we will have the same kind of problems that we now face with alcohol addiction. I am aware that people say pot is not addictive but I doubt that is true.
