Book description
Learn some lessons in good living from the Bible's bad news belles. Women everywhere marvel at the "good girls" in Scripture such as Sarah, Mary, and Ruth. But on most days, when they look in the mirror they see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch a glimpse of Jezebel's take-charge pride or Salome's misguided attempt to please her mother. What's a good girl to do? In Bad Girls of the Bible, author Liz Curtis Higgs offers a unique and clear-sighted approach to understanding those "other women" in Scripture, combining a contemporary retelling of their stories with a solid, verse-by-verse st...

Review:
Agent Under Glass is a political thriller based on the phantasmagoric period immediately preceding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, written by a former FBI agent who served during that historic period. It is the story of a patriotic young FBI agent who is recruited against his will into a CIA/Mafia plot to assassinate Fidel Castro, a plot that runs off track and culminates in the murder of President Kennedy. Were the two disperate plots interlinked merely as a quirk of history or by more sinister influences at work? Agent Under Glass at last sets the record straight, laying bare the dirty secret at the heart of the murderous conspiracy that culminated in the atrocity in Dallas. It is a novel of striking pertinence in view... Rest of this review on the detail page

Book description
Poignant and personal remembrances, celebrating the lives of the World Trade Center victims. Few aspects of The New York Times's coverage of September 11 and of all that has followed have attracted as much comment as "Portraits of Grief." A page or two buried deep in the B section every day for 15 weeks, the series profiled the lives lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center and has become a story in itself, becoming required reading for many, the world over. Beginning on Sept. 14, a half-dozen Times reporters began working from a stack of 100 missing person fliers collected from points around the ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Random murder and savage overkill, mind control and bad strips, satanism and witchcraft, cursed glamour, haight-ashbury, rock'n'roll, biker gangs, sexual rebellion and dune biggies tearcing across Death Valley in search of "the hole in the earth"--the ultimate escape. MANSON is a gripping account of one of the most chilling and fascinating crime sagas olf our time. LOS ANGELES TIMES: "Vividly recounts in Manson's (and the Family's) own words, the harrowing story of the Manson murders and Manson's bizarre life."
