Love this book about the physician, Luke, who wrote the Gospel according to Luke. Fiction, yes, but such an accurate depiction of the human struggle for spiritual relevance and the rebellion of the human soul. The detail and depth of characters, the complex and rewarding plot and the historical accuracy make this one of the finest works ever done by any author, in my opinion.

They absolutely love it. I get applause every time I read it. The illustrations are beautiful watercolors inspired by Emily's view of what is going on in her back yard. My favorite part of the book is that readers are not told conclusively whether there was actually a whale in Emily's pond. It ...             Dear Jean : What They Don't Teach You at the Water Cooler15 reviews Jean Kelley Atwood Publications, 2000 An enjoyable and useful book This book covered some of the most interesting topics of real human life in the workplace, and not only in the United States.
