This trilogy is my favorite fictional books of all times!  I love the way Francine Rivers entertwines her fiction with Biblical truths.

The insight of Martin Luther to the Biblical Text is nothing short of inspired.  The only annoyance were the errors from the scanning of the volume to the electronic format.  There were several punctuation and spelling / word errors throughout the volume.  These errors were not confined to just this volume but can be found in the previous two volumes as well.  I still highly recommend the series of six volumes.  The reader should be aware that Martin Luther's work exceeds the six volumes.

This is an excellent companion to the Book Killing Lions. I would recommend that everyone and anyone going through the book do it with this Journal, hand-in-hand. The process is well worth the effort.

"For he was a veritable lion, a red lion, the great lion of God."

Thus part one of this magnificent book starts with a quote about St. Paul by St. Augustine.  I first read this book as a book report project when I was in ninth grade in the late 1970s.  At the time, it was a life-changing book for me.

I learned from Caldwell about St. Paul the man - that he was a man of great passion, of fire and of longing.  One who says what needs to be said no matter what the consequences to himself.  Hah - one who can't help but say what needs to be said, actually!  After reading this book I could never read or hear St. Paul's New Testament letters the same way.  Now when I hear them read in church or read them on my own, I see the man of passion behind these letters.  For this gift I am most grateful to Taylor Caldwell.

The book is a biography of St. Paul told in the form of a narrated story that begins with his birth and ends with him heading for Rome; a not dissimilar ending as that of the Acts of the Apostles, where Paul is in Rome waiting judgement by Caesar.

A good book.  One of my favorites.  So well written and so desiring to engage the reader that this book helped me get an "A+" on my long-ago ninth grade book report. :-)

This is an older book that I stumbled upon looking for more outdoor wilderness reading.  I love it!!  It reminds me of "Never Cry Wolf".  I like Lawrence's writing style and description of his adventures while studying the elusive mountain lion.  This may be older but it reads like it was today.  I will read more of R.D. Lawrence but I must admit I didn't want this to end.  If you like anything to do with outdoor wilderness adventures this book is a must!  Most, if not all, of his books seem to be available through used bookstores through Amazon.  I will look for and order a few more...

Creatively conceived and flawlessly executed, this graphic novel trilogy provides a moving and beautiful glimpse in the tragic yet hopeful history of the civil rights movement. While aimed at young adults, these volumes will impact adult readers of all ages as well. You will want to add these volumes to your collection and buy a few more for friends and family. Moving.

I bought the book, The Dawn of Man, mainly for the illustrations by Zdenek Burian who appears to have influenced the artist Frank Frazetta.
I have become a big fan of Burian's art.
As for the text of the book, I have not yet read it in depth so I will refrain from commenting on it.

I am a huge fan of the Delphi series of collected works of classic authors, and this collection lived up to what I have come to expect.  First, it is well-formatted which is essential for me in buying works that are in the public domain on Kindle.  The Complete William Blake has a working and easy-to-read master table of contents that lists all of Blake's major published works.  When you click on one of the works, the link takes you to another table of contents of all the poems or pieces in the work, which makes it very easy to get around.  In addition, the important divisions are bookmarked on the progress bar so that you can jump through the book using the directional pad.  In addition, the individual poems I have read (full disclosure: I have read much but not all of this book yet) have been well formatted so that there is no extraneous indentations, uncalled for line-breaks, or strange bolding that can easily happen when text documents are casually converted into Kindle format.  Finally, the numerous illustrations have been carefully inserted so that they are readable on the small screen and are natural and useful.  This may seem like something to be taken for granted, but it is actually harder than it looks and is a sign of a carefully put together Kindle book.

Second, the content of this William Blake collection is excellent.  I am not a Blake expert, so I cannot fully comment on technical completeness (all the Blake poems I expected have been here and many, many more), but there are many Blake works that are less commonly heard of.  In addition to the Songs of Innocence and Experience, there are also such intriguing works as "America, a Prophecy" and "The Book of Thel".  The full list of the works included is as follows: Poetical Sketches, An Island in the Moon, All Religions are One, There is no Natural Religion, Tiriel, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America a Prophecy, Europe a Prophecy, The First Book of Urizen, Songs of Experience, The Book of Los, the Song of Los, the Book of Ahania, The Four Zoas, Milton a Poem, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion Songs and Ballads from Blake's Notebook (1793), Satiric Verses and Epigrams from Blake's Notebook, Uncollected Works.

In addition, the editors have included numerous illustrations and color plates (since Blake was also a major illustrator and printer).  For instance, in the Songs of Innocence, every poem is followed by the image of Blake's original, with his illustrations and his type-set.  It really is quite marvelous.

Finally, the editors included two different public domain biographies of William Blake, one by Irene Langridge and the other by Charles Gardner.  I have not read them yet, but I expect that they will be interesting and useful for the casual poetry enthusiast, if not for the Blake scholar (who may still find them useful to understand Blake's reception in different ages).

In short, this is exactly how collections of classic literature should be presented on the Kindle, and is a wonderful portal to a delightful poet.

The Mark of the Lion books are the best Christian books I have ever read.  Ms. Rivers makes you care about the characters as if they were real.  She weaves a story rich in detail of the time and culture of the Roman Empire.  I could not put these books down.  I just kept reading until I finished them all.  Your have got to read these books.  To be honest, I have not found a book by Francine Rivers that I did not thoroughly enjoy.  The Mark of the Lion books are my all time favorite books!

This is the followup volume to "The Great Darkness Saga," one of the high points of the Legion of Super-Heroes. As with any story that follows what is generally perceived these days to be a true classic, the stories that follow pale a bit in comparison but that's only because what came before was so superb. On their own, these stories stand up well, as does this volume, which gathers issues 297-313, plus a couple of Annuals.

In general, I really like Levitz' and Giffen's work on the Legion. They had a strong run that ranks up there with the best of the Legion stories before and since. There are a couple of weaknesses in this collection, though, most notably the "Omen and the Prophet" storyline, which I found pretty weak, particularly for a four-parter.

I do have one criticism of this title and that is that I expected more of a followup from the Great Darkness Saga. The "curse" of the title is Darkseid's curse at the end of that saga. However, it doesn't show up until the very end of this collection and then only in a few brief panels. To be honest, I feel a bit cheated about that.

By and large, though, this is a book well worth reading, with solid writing and artwork, presenting the legion at its finest. I can definitely recommend this as entertaining reading.

This book is a 'Journal' from an earlier more ordered time when rles where followed by the various races; the leader of whom was an English Expatriate. The lions form the conduit through which Patterson's experiences flow. The narrative is pleasant, well - written and informative. His story does not appear to have been obviously embellished. I knew about the events well prior to selecting the book. There is much more to the book than 'just' the lion hunt; indeed the book tells of microcosm of the Region and times. It is an excellent book.

This volume collects the issues in which the new creative team of Milligan and Robert de la Torre show what they plan to do with the characters of Jack, the Shadowman loa, and company.

Wow. The RDLT art is something else and fits the tone of the book perfectly. Consistent and beautifully haunting throughout. So so good.

The writing is pretty good.  I like where Milligan starts and the new direction he takes for Jack, but by the last issue in this trade (and the last issue of the regular Shadowman series unfortunately) the story gets a little muddled and disjointed.

Overall a great book with very few flaws.

Bishop Spong has confirmed the teaching of the mystics about the stages of the spiritual life in his own life: purification, illumination and union. He seems to be on the way to the latter. My hope is he continues this last part he has embarked upon unto eternity. Great book!! (Audio)

Embarking from St Louis on a Mississippi riverboat named Fid&egrave;le (Faithful) two hand written signs are on display. On one a Christ like deaf mute writes lines from Corinthians like "Charity thinketh no evil" and "Charity believeth all things" and on the other a barber not wishing to give credit writes "NO TRUST". A line from The Merchant of Venice comes to mind "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose" because the deaf mute holds up his sign filled with scriptural tolerance right beside a placard offering a reward for the capture of the Confidence man. The deaf mute "went forward, seating himself in a retired spot on the forecastle, nigh the foot of a ladder there leading to a deck above, up and down which ladder some of the boatmen, in discharge of their duties, were occasionally going." and he goes to sleep. This Jacob's ladder signals us to possible otherworldly access to the boat and as we know angels ascend and descend Jacob's ladder a fallen fellow of their kin might have made his way onto the boat via this ladder and now this Jacob sleeping at the foot of it is ready to assume successive avatars of the Confidence man. Jacob in Genesis was a trickster and it being April fools day the Confidence man takes on many a masquerade as he tries to persuade people on the riverboat to have confidence. At minimum Melville in this novel has given us a comedic Mississippi boat ride on the nature of illusion and trust and a scathing critique of mid nineteenth century America. The Confidence man as the crippled slave, Black Guinea,  catches pennies in his mouth he assumes complex disguises as representatives of various charities--the Seminole Widows and Orphans Fund--the inventor of the Protean Chair that relaxes all infirmities by its flexibility, including infirmities of the tormented conscience, a naturopath herb doctor, and a representative of the Philosophical Intelligence Office. Through all of this his profits are minuscule--a dollar or three, a shave on credit, and so forth. His triumphs are the granting of confidence in him, not the money. At the close of the novel the last avatar of the Confidence man, the Cosmopolitan, is talking to an old man but the old man is trying to find a life preserver something he has never seen. The Cosmopolitan gives him a wooden stool chamber pot and tells him that it is a life preserver. He humorously tells him  "I think that in case of a wreck, barring sharp-pointed timbers, you could have confidence in that stool for a special providence." In a book rife with symbolism this penultimate symbol typifies the main theme of the novel: Look to what you place confidence in or you might be left holding a chamber pot believing it to be a life preserver.

I just finished reading A Voice in the Wind and I want to get the other two but I might as well get the 3 in 1 volume because I will read it again and again.  Rivers did an amazing job with this book.  I couldn't put down the book at night and even stayed up till 11 PM to finish it.

The story line is amazing and I can't wait to read the next two to see what happens to everyone.

Great Book!  I would recommend it to anyone.
