Tje Whistling Shadow: A Mystery.......2007-06-02
This is a very dated book, almost enough to bewilder young readers. The concept was good, characters well delineated, but so dated that I probably wouldn't recommend this book, except to realize how much times have changed.
Book Description
Gargantuan dragons soar over Krynn, battling for control of the lands below. On the isle of Sancrist, the weakened Knights of Solamnia ask their old enemies the Knights of Takhisis, for help. At the insistence of Lord Gunthar, the knights renew the alliance forged during the last days of the Chaos War. But when the Grand Master of the Knights of Solamnia abruptly dies, the leadership of the knights -- in fact their very existence -- is challenged.
Jeff Crook's novel tells a tale of the Knights of Solamnia, the greatest knightly order on Krynn, faced with what may be their greatest challenge.
Customer Reviews:
Well written and engaging, yet an insult to fans of the Solamnic Knighthood.......2005-12-13
This is essencially a warning to anyone who is a fan of Dragonlance and of the Solamnic Knighthood- If you got emotional when Sturm Brightblade fell at the High Clerist Tower, do not read this book.
While, as I stated, it is well written by a talented author and is fairly engaging and a good read overall, there are plot points and events in this book that are downright absurd when in the context of the Solamnic Knighthood.
I don't want to give anything away with spoilers, so I'll simply say that events nearly lead the Knighthood to doing two things that is simply implausible and downright blasphemus.
Enjoyable.......2003-09-04
While I didn't think this was quite a four star book, I felt it was closer to four than three stars. Crook gives us a very interesting look at the Solamnic Knights and the poor condition they find themselves in after the departure of the gods and the subsequent arrival of the great dragons. It seems both the Solamnic Knighthood, as well as the Knights of Takhisis, have fallen on hard times with the arrivial of these dragon overlords. They are grasping at straws and, in desperation, decide to do something that would otherwise be unthinkable for both sides (don't want to spoil it). The story is told from the point of view of the Solamnics and we get to see their struggle between doing what they commander feels is the right thing and what they feel in their hearts they should be doing. Mixed in among this is the courageous adventure of an unusual gully dwarf and his companions.
The characters populating this story were fairly well developed, including a dark elf that fascinated me. I was disappointed to find that he plays no role in Weis & Hickman's subsequent WAR OF SOULS trilogy. The two or three Solamnics that we get to meet are all different and are loyal to the Knighthood and their commander in their own way. The gully dwarf character has traits that make him more than just a regular gully dwarf: honor and loyalty drive him to attempt a task that no other gully dwarf would ever undertake.
The plot is interesting and action packed, with the aforementioned plan between the Solamnics and the Knights of Takhisis being the main plot device to propel the story. I would be very happy if Crook at some point wrote a sequel series to this book using the same characters so that we can see how they have progressed. Not a great book, mind you, but definitely worth a read if your a Dragonlance fan.
Roses for Crook.......2000-10-31
I'm new to the entire fantasy Dragonlance series but after accidentally stumbling across Jeff Crook's, The Rose and the Skull, it appears I have some reading to do. Of course, I didn't get all the past references and probably missed half of the inside jokes but hey, you gotta start somewhere.
Crook captured me with his sly humor and tongue-in-cheek descriptions but then was quite the craftsman with the plot and character developments. Lady Jessica was a worthy heroine and I would like to see a book with her and Liam. Not much romance but still, a brooding tension that bordered on romance. Sometimes, less is better anyway. I loved the Gully Dwarves, especially Uhoh, but, what do I know? It seems other reviewers hated that plot line but it appeals to the underdog in me, always a chance.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to reading more in the Dragonlance series, both past and future. Especially ones by Mr.Crook.
It was missing something.......2000-07-04
Don't get me wrong, this book was worth reading but there were a few things that bugged me in it. First of all the Gully Dwarves were in a full half of this book and after awhile the jokes about the number two got old and annoying. And then there were the fight scenes; they really weren't there. When I picked up this book I expected to have some really big battles play out in front of me, but that's not how it worked out. Crook used past tense on the battles so you really didn't get to read about any huge action scenes, just a small fight here or there.
There are pluses to this book however. The Dark Elf Knight of Takhisis Valian Escu was an interesting character and I personally would like to see a Dragonlance book that focuses only on him and his life after the Rose and the Skull. And also it was nice to see some of Pyrothraxus the Great Red Dragon of Mt. Nevermind.
It's okay, and worth a look........2000-06-22
I love to read Dragonlance Books, and I either buy everyone that comes out or borrow them from friends. This one was a borrow. The writing wasn't too bad--especially since I believe this was the author's first book. That means his next ones should be better. The plot started slow, but it picked up by the end of the first quarter of the book. I would have liked to see a little more development with some of the secondary characters. Anyway, it's worth a look!

The Didymus Contingency

Customer Reviews:
Better than expected.......2005-10-12
This book's premise is based on the same research that Dan Brown's famous novel (The Davinici Code) is based on, and in many ways it is a more interesting story. Where Brown concentrates much of his story on esoteric art and puzzle solving, Conspirators is more of an action story with time traveling heroes. The time traveling technology is sketchy at best, but it serves its purpose well enough, which is to get a team of adventurers to the distant past to witness and record the crucifixion if Christ. What they find is both astonishng and controversial, at least to some team members. And they struggle with the fate of the information. The book was written 7 years ago and shows its age, especially in the technology area. Microcircuitry was certainly not the author's forte. If this story were revised and marketed better, I believe it would have mass appeal. Even though it tackles a touchy subject, the authenticity of the Jesus Christ miracle, with gusto, it does not preach or rant, but merely observes open-mindedly.
Worth one read, but not a second one........2003-08-11
For a time travel fan, it is a must read. However, many of the fun things about time travel are avoided by the author in this story. He writes away explanations against paradoxes, as if to take away the worry of really writing intelligently about that aspect of time travel.
The characters are varied and interesting, but fall short on any sort of connection or empathy with them. I'd agree with an earlier review that rarely do you really feel he has put you back in time in early Jerusalem.
The twist on the crucifixtion is interesting, although again, he puts the charcacters exactly into the time frame that avoids having to address many aspects of Jesus and sticks with what is just easier to explain.
Also, a couple things in the book felt like he was going to go somewhere with it potentially thought provoking, and basically just dropped it.
It was worth a first time through, but definitely not one I'm going to keep on my shelves for a later read.
Good Science Fiction.......2002-05-02
If you can remember this book is Fiction it is a great quick read.
Can't wait for Frankel's next adventure!.......1999-11-22
I really enjoyed this book. The plot and characters were well developed and the story was very intriguing. I'd be fascinated to know how much about the Jesus "character" was fact vs fiction. It was all very believable. It's been a few months since I read the book and I'm still thinking about it.
I agree with the other reviewer who said the book could have been longer. I would have enjoyed even more description of the sights, sounds and tastes of the time and place. Additionally Frankel in colonial America would be a fascinating novel all in itself!
This was easily one of the best books I've read this year. I'm looking forward to more from this author! P.S. Thanks for the bigger than average print too!.
Interesting, Fresh characters and idea's.......1999-03-22
I thought overall the topic as well as the book were very interesting. The concept that is being presented is fresh, the characters are good and relatively well developed. I felt like the book should be about twice as long as it was. Needed more detail to really feel a part of the time being discussed. I felt that the book just dives into the time travel process without really making the reader feel the technology or the process of time travel. The second two thirds of the book is really in the top tier of stories I have read in the past several years. The first third is weak. The authors tried to develop too many characters in too little time. Then they started using new names for them and got me confused.

A Must Have Book for Preachers.......2006-09-17
This book is so practical and so helpful that it is destined to be a godsend for busy pastors. Stephen Rummage is a professor of preaching as well as a practitioner of preaching, and he writes about how pastors can stop stressing over what to preach and plan their sermon schedules a year in advance. He recommends taking a week long retreat and bringing along your personal and business calendars as well as some basic Bible tools (a topical Bible, a Concordance, a Bible Dictionary, a one volume commentary, etc).
He suggests a balanced preaching planner that takes into account holidays and special days in the life of the church. He strongly encourages expository preaching as a way of feeding the people of God the whole counsel of God. The pastor should plan to preach a doctrinal series, a series through a Bible book, and a series that ministers to the problems people are wrestling with. He also suggests annual sermons explaining baptism and the Lord's Supper.
He also gives suggestions for which scriptures to preach from on certain holidays as well as series ideas. I liked his pastoral series "Peace in the Valley" where he has sermons with titles like Peace in the Valley of Despair, Peace in the Valley of Grief, etc.
I give this well written primer for pastors my highest recommendation.
Rev. Marc Axelrod
An Excellent Guide.......2005-07-20
This is a very effective book that devises for Ministers, students and lay persons vital strategies to assist in the planning of our sermons and to determine which objectives, beliefs and attitudes truly conform to the needs of our congregation. It is indeed informative, thought provoking and is surely an eye opener. It is a must for every preacher's library.
A Solid Pastoral Resource.......2005-06-19
The book is a solid addition to the new or veteran pastor's library. Rummage goes through the various types of sermons and their applications, along with some nuts and bolts of how to incorporate special days, holidays and the ordinances/sacraments into your preaching calendar. He even includes some very good skeletal outlines and suggested passages of scripture for occasions. Rummage gives a lot of attention to the expository message, and how it can be incorporated into the various facets of preaching. He gives a very good overview-review of the exegetical process as well.
It's an easy and quick read, and a book to refer to over years. Most everyone who has ever preached with any regularity knows the pressure of Sunday morning looming large. Rummage makes the case that a good portion of the battle is deciding what to preach, and if you give some careful attention to your master calendar up-front, sermon preparation can be joyful work rather than a constant attempt to beat deadlines.
Excellent Information In This Book!.......2003-04-20
Rummage has done an outstanding job writing about a topic few preachers prepare for or even give a lot of thought to. Until you're in the day to day work of being a pastor, you can't appreciate the practicality this volume affords. In this book, Rummage lays out a plan that can be adapted to any situation and gives hands on "real world" advice on how to use that plan once you've done it. He takes the time to cover areas that all pastors should cover including expository, doctrinal, and pastoral sermons along with sermons for special days of the year. He even gives a great historical background of the liturgical, lectionary style of using the scriptures without having to endorse it but instead, advocates its ideals as perhaps a way of being creative in your own planning. All in all, it's a book I would say deserves to be in any pastor's library. It's affordability would make it a great gift for someone you know who's about to enter the pastorate also. I'm already beginning to enjoy the benefits of many of this book's ideas. Thanks Stephen!

Book Description
Readers discover how the colors they wear and live with reveal their personality, their desires, and their destiny. The Color Decoder describes the universal power of color and shows how it affects every aspect of our livesour clothes, our preferred foods, and even our state of health and the progress of our careers. Psychologists have long recognized color as a powerful tool, and see both color's positive and negative attributes as influences in everybody's life. The positive and negative qualities of just a few of the book's example colors include: Red, which denotes energy and leadership, but also anger and aggression ... Orange, which stands for joy and creativity, but also for irrationality ... Green, which is associated withsteadfastness and reliability, but also with obstinacy and egotism. These three, as well as all other colors of the spectrum, are analyzed in depth. Readers will also find personal enlightenment as they follow the author's instructions and discover how to carry out their uniquely personal three-color analysis. It will help them understand their own personality, focus on life goals, find their ideal love partner, and even find a good business partner. This fascinating volume's added features include lists of colors appropriate to different business ventures, colors for birth and marriage, and colors that strengthen powers of healing. More than 200 illustration areof courseall in full color.

Know thy self!.......2003-12-27
This is a marvelous, easy to use guide to a system of color coding ourselves and those significiant others in our lives. There are 3 criteria that are used: astrological sign, our complete birthdates added until it's reduced to a number between 1 and 9, and then, using the chart provided, adding up the letters of our name. That part is so personalized because it can be "tweaked" to use a nickname, that "formal" name on our birth certificates, etc.
INCREDIBLE BOOK, and one that goes quite well with it is:

Book Description
Originally published in 1953, Behind the Veil captures the splendor and opulence of "life behind the veil": the women's world where over the centuries in the courts of the Mughal Kings of Delhi and Lucknow, unobserved and unattended by men, many of Pakistan and India's customs and ceremonies
evolved. Shaista Ikramullah's exquisite collection of essays examines how in this women's world the vanished glory of the past lived on. It is in the pageantry of the wedding ceremonies, in the dazzle of the jewelry, and in the variety of dresses that one still finds the magic of the Orient and the
East.

impressive at the least.......2007-10-06
This book can provide plenty of help and guide for anyone traveling to Pakistan, foreigners in particular (she mentioned a few things in Lahore, my hometown, which even I did not know). I picked the book from my father's bookshelf to kill my time and ended up reading all of it. She explains most things about the local culture extremely well, without the usual negative tone that most other authors unconsciously get into (no offence for anyone please).
For me if a book gives you the information that you need and makes you read more than what you initially planned, is a five star, so is this one!
Archaeology.......2006-03-26
We visited North Pakistan, looking at the archaeology, and this guidebook was excellent- it covered virtually everything.
We ordered it from London, and it arrived very promptly - and cheaper than the price quoted by amazon.co.uk!
The Journey Home For The First Time.......2000-11-26
My journey home to Pakistan started a little over five years ago when I married a Pakistani national who had immigrated to the United States in the early nineties. The decision to visit my family back home in Lahore City was one that took nearly five years to make. After securing my flight at the height of the summer travel season and I might add the hottest time of year in that part of the Indian subcontinent I desparately sought out the most comprehensive travel guide I could find. Isobel Shaw's book is informative and a godsend to a novice traveller to the Indian subcontinent such as my self. From her descriptions of famous landmarks to the locations of hotels and hospices she gives an accurate account of what to expect. The index of Urdu phrases came in handy on several occasions as I do not speak or read the language and was often dependent on my husband's translating capability. The maps and descriptions of the different regions allowed us to the luxury of travelling to areas of Pakistan I might never have seen otherwise. My only regret is that we were unable to see more of Kashmir than the border checkpoint. Due to my blonde hair and western features the border guards were relunctant to let us in. Perhaps next time I shall be allowed to travel in that region. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Shaw's guidebook to anyone travelling in Pakistan. It is an informative and enjoyable book on the people and the country of Pakistan.

getting to the warp and woof of reincarnation.......2006-03-18
Subtitled "Psychic Adventures that Changed My Life," this book is about one woman's spiritual quest, one that she began as an agnostic and "recovering Anglican."
The author states that she'd wrestled the subject of life-after-death to the ground and had concluded that "death was final - period." However, her attitude began to change about 25 years ago when a friend told her of her experiences with a psychic and asked her if she'd like to meet with the psychic. Although reasonably content with her life as a fashion illustrator and feeling no great need to change her views, Evans met with the psychic out of curiosity. She was very impressed with the evidential information provided by the first psychic, and that prompted her to visit others.
In the years that followed, Evans visited more than 60 psychics or mediums, experiencing phenomena of all types, including spirit communication, past-life readings, apports, and apparitions. From those experiences emerged a spiritual philosophy with karma and reincarnation at the core of her new world view. A good part of the second half of the book discusses the evidence for reincarnation, including the research of Dr. Ian Stevenson and the teachings of Edgar Cayce, "the sleeping prophet."
Evans goes to the warp and woof of reincarnation. "The knowledge of reincarnation gives us new insights," she writes. "A colossal portion of humanity is morally and ethically confused. The churches have had two thousand years to teach us why we're here, where we come from, and where we go when we die - and they've failed miserably." She explains how an understanding of reincarnation helps us put life's "unfairness" - or what seems unfairness - into perspective and fully appreciate the divine plan.
What the churches have failed to do in more than two-thousand years, Evans manages to do in a little over 200 pages. "The new knowledge has taught me where I fit in with the unseen forces around me - and why," Evan sums up her psychic adventures. For those who have not had similar adventures, this book can provide much food for thought and be a positive step toward understanding what life is all about. For those who have had similar experiences, the book can provide reinforcement and further insights.
It is an interesting, informative, intriguing, and inspirational read.
