Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.
Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.

Review:This is a classic and original book about the constant dismissal of the great achievements of ancient-to-modern black, mainly African, society in mainstream academic discourse, and the clear contributions of foreign invasion and colonialism to the downfall of several great African civilizations. Chancellor Williams is a direct, inspirational, and emotional writer, and clearly exhibits some anger toward Europeans and Arabs (referred to as Asians in this book) for their continual subjugation of th...

Race for the Flash Stone (The Anlon Cully Chronicles) (Volume 2)
Race for the Flash Stone (The Anlon Cully Chronicles) (Volume 2)

Review:It was okay, but to much nonsense and just filler talk in it. For instance how Anlon liked his friend's hair, etc. Did not stay on topic as much as I would like. I guess you could say it took to much of a round about way to get to the point. Read more

Review:As textbooks go, this was prefect. it arrived quickly and in good condition. Initially ordered the paperback edition which was not what the professor wanted. This hardback edition was different, for some reason...and the right book for the class. Thank you Read more

Based on the BBC Television Series (Penguin Books for Art)

Review:Wins the award for worst book design of the year. The text is almost unreadable as it is microscopically small, condensed, boldface and sans-serif, all of these opposite to what is needed for readability. The lines are unreadably wide and the margins are absurdly small, the gutter being so minimal that one must virtually break the spine to read the nearby text. The many illustrations are so muddily printed that one can not make sense of the book's discussion of them. E.g., the text refers to pai... Read more

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Review:Fantastic story and fantastic reading. The reader was perfect for Mark Twain's style. This book made our 14-hour drive bearable. This is the first Mark Twain audiobook that I've listened to, and I'm looking forward to more. Read more

Being and Nothingness
Being and Nothingness

Review:This book is really a propaganda piece whose primary objective was to rouse French people to resist German occupiers. Published under enemy censorship, it reads between the lines as an appeal to French guilt about not facing up to their responsibilities. Sartre risked his life in the underground and hoped that his fellow countrymen would get the same message. It was written deliberately in a pseudo-Germanic, Heidegger-type complicated style to fool German censors into thinking that it was a w... Read more

and Disease. God's Healing is for You! (Prayers for Spiritual Battle)

Review:Awesome book on healing Scriptures! Pastor Eckhardt has introductions to each chapter that build up your belief and faith in God's healing throughout the whole Bible. He teaches that healing by prayer and the anointing of oil is still relevant today as it was in the days of the prophets, apostles and disciples, and healthy living is not just maintained by food, but by God's Word and condition of the heart too.

God's Creative Power Will Work For You

Review:This little booklet is intense.

For anyone who wanders through the bookstore, Christian or secular, wanting something to read that will break them out of a Victim Mindset, this is the book for you.

Couple this book with James Allen's As a Man Thinketh, and the reader will change his life around in a manner of days, if he/she just puts these principles to work.

I love Charles Capps' booklet, ... Read more

The Portrait of a Lady - Volume 1
The Portrait of a Lady - Volume 1

Review:The author put lots of thinking on how the people in that period lived. He described people's thought processes vividly. The turn of the story was unexpected at the first thought. Then one would realize that it was in human nature to develop that way. Read more
