First hand account of chronologies of events in some of the major wars in which US Special Forces were involved. I was particularly interested in Stiner's experience in the Lebanese War during the 1980s, and I found his account to be objective without out being overly soapy with patriotism, very professional and detached, and it provided me with a behind-the-scene insight into the events of that decade in the Lebanese turmoil. Clearly written, a pleasure to read.

A very good book. To me, it is insightful and interesting. The author is able to capture the very key points in the process of the long history and I love how the author make comments to them. The language is also comfortable to read.

An insightful, proactive, and positive perspective, enjoyable to read and felt like I learned something.  Tons of specific personal stories and quotes I actually remember rather than broad-stroke thoughts

I greatly enjoyed reading Coined. The book was enlightening, and the authors personal stories are fantastic.  Sehgals unique approach examines currency from varied perspectives and keeps the reader engaged. I found the chapter on religion and money to be particularly insightful.

An excellent reading for those who seek peace and harmony not only for themselves, but also to assist others through the current crisis happening in the world. The author takes one through the internal journey he travelled and shares with us his insights in a clear and easy way. The distinctions presented in the value of opinions, the art of listening, and what is a civilised man, is worth every penny.
What is also of value is the integration of the various ancient and mordern philosophies of the world.
A must reading for all who want to understand about life, and have freedom.

I liked this book and found it well worth the read. I found it to be insightful and full of good food for thought, whether you find you agree with every point, or not. The author digs deep into spirituality and what it means for us and others. His sincerity, desire to be filled with and have the knowledge of Gods grace, and desire for good for all is evident. This book matches up closely with my Christian beliefs, though I may depart slightly on some points. No matter our personal beliefs and thoughts, reading anothers thoughts with an open mind can expand our own knowledge, whether we accept ever point, or not. I found this book worthy and valuable.

I have read M A Streets four novels, as well, and found them to be unique and captivating stories. Each one touched me. Whether you like this book, or not, you may enjoy his fiction. Excellent writing and excellent stories.

David has written an enjoyable and assessable book, if at once a challenging one. This was my first introduction to the thought of Bultmann, and I enjoyed the way David writes with careful insight and clarity. I'm looking forward to reading more of Bultmann, and I'm already feeling like I might actually have a shot at making sense of him thanks to this book. Well done!

An extremely engaging and insightful collection of stories from the author's life.  The stories bring to life the emotional, intellectual and societal aspects of the struggle for racial and social justice. Such well-written, tangible and evocative stories help us to better appreciate the everyday human  dimensions and experiences that are intertwined with vitally important "bigger picture" issues.

An insightful book regarding the realities of ministry, the struggles of life, and the dynamic nature of relationships. Easy reading, but not empty!

Kenneth Anderson's Living with the UN is an insightful read which gives readers an easy to understand but highly intellectual look at the American responsibilities in regard to foreign affairs.  Anderson's writing style is one that keeps his points clear and interesting.  I stumbled upon this book simply by chance and I'm glad I did.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you are a follower of the subject or not; those who are familiar with the subject will find a great read and those who aren't as familiar with the topic will be after.  Two thumbs up and five stars, fine work, Mr. Anderson.

On the Outskirts of Normal is an engaging and insightful read. I appreciated Monroes honesty throughout as she discussed her family relationships, her romantic relationships, motherhood, andmost notablyher own flaws. She details the anxieties and burdens she carried, beginning long before she adopted Marie and continuing long into her motherhood. Yet her narrative also gives a sense of the incredible strength and resilience that those around herwho were not privy to the inner-most feelings she details in this bookmust have seen in Monroe as she took on single-motherhood, small town life, dating, and eventually serious health problems. Her love for her daughter and obvious aptitude for motherhood come through in her descriptions of her interactions with Marie, all while she simultaneously muses on the consequences of the damaging relationships she has had in the past. She balances the tender feelings of motherhood with discussion of her previous struggles with infertility and the harsher realities of the presentranging from home renovations to a botched surgery. Monroes writing and narrative were engaging and only made better by her thoughtful meditations on past and present happenings. Coming to the final page of the book was, as it should be with any good book, a complete shame as I dearly wished I could continue reading and learning from Monroes insightful reflections. While Monroes book and life (spoiler!) seem to have an ultimately happy ending, On the Outskirts of Normal makes it clear that Monroe will not forget the difficulties she faced along her journey anytime soon.

This was an insightful, and enjoyable book. I would suggest it to anyone who has an interest in Italian politics. Not because it will be a strong scholarly source, but is a good source for someone who is simply interested in this topic. I guess you could say it is a good journalistic effort to shed some light on this leader's personality. It does so by sharing many vignettes about Berlusconi's life with the reader that help put things in focus. Get it and enjoy, and learn at the same time.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it was a fun, delightful, and a insightful read. Filled with a wealth of information, with the enjoyment of being entertained at the same time.

This book took me, yes me a man through a field of emotions. As i began to read it was humorous, then it just got interesting, as I began to feel as though I was in a relationship counseling session all while being introduced to the bible in a whole different light.

Then to see the view from each of the characters point of view was a delight in it self, how brilliant of the author to allow that for her readers was surely delightful.

Ok, won't spoil the the ending, but that...

Jim Reynolds, Th. D., has written an insightful book regarding women in the church of Jim's heritage.  Although some readers will not have the background experience out of which Dr. Reynolds writes, his personal experience and witness and his biblical insights will resonate with readers from all sorts of backgrounds.  For approximately fifteen years my wife and I were members of the Lake Highlands Church in Dallas, Texas where Jim continues to serve as the senior preaching minister and pastor.  Both the Lake Highlands Church and Dr. Reynolds are living out the principles in the book.  It is a welcome contribution to the continuing discussion, in some quarters, about women in Christian ministry.
