books by Blackstone Audiobooks     books:       Emily of New Moon84 reviews L. M. Montgomery Blackstone Audiobooks, 1999 A great, honest, straight forward book. Emily Starr is a daughter of a faith-confused father that her mother's family has shunned for his poverty. Her mother, Juliet Murray, died when she was five, and then when she is older, her father dies of consumption, leaving her an orphan. Her mother's family takes her in, and teaches her all their traditions and strict codes of honor and pride. Emily makes new friends, grows, and even ...             Torpedo: A Surface Warfare Thriller, Library Edition69 reviews Jeff Edwards Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 Torpedo-proof debut! Jeff Edward's "Torpedo" is riveting! A great storyline mixed with an intricate knowledge of the subject matter gives the reader a real sense of "being there" as the story unfolds. I found the interjection facts regarding the historical development of the torpedo enhanced the gravity of the subject matter and made the story even more of a page-turner. I highly recommend "Torpedo" and congratulate ...             The Law90 reviews Frederic Bastiat Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 The Law Bastiat's Law is one of the most important documents you could ever read. It is the basis for the philosophy of liberty, and without adherence to these ideals liberty cannot last. This should be required reading in school, but once you read what this french philosopher had to say you may start to understand why those who tax us cannot afford to have too many people read this book.             Knowing God77 reviews J. I. Packer Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 Essential Theology I have bought more than fifty copies of Knowing God for use in teaching the subject. Packer does an excellent job of helping us to have a relationship with the God of the universe rather than just knowing something about Him. I have never found another book that does as good a job of teaching meaningful theology to people who really want to know God.             Peter the Great, Part 2 of 2102 reviews Robert K. Massie Blackstone Audiobooks, 1991 My favorite history book I love to read history and have numerous books about many people and events that happened throughout history. But this book has to be my absolute favorite. Peter the Great was an amazing person and led a life without one dull moment. Once you start reading this book it will be difficult to put it down. Even though he did not live into old age, he lived a life full of adventure and you will never ...             Nicholas and Alexandra Part I108 reviews Robert K. Massie Blackstone Audiobooks, 1994 The Tragedy of The Twentieth Century In 2000, there was much talk about the "most important person of the 20th Century." My choice was always Gavrilo Princip, the young Bosnian assassin who killed Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, igniting World War I, which caused the Russian Revolution, Communism, and the Treaty of Versailles, which led to Naziism, World War II, atomic bombs, and the Cold War. Of course, there were other ...             The Lords of Discipline169 reviews Pat Conroy Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 Duty, Honor, Country The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...             The River Why92 reviews David James Duncan Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 Wise Like A Fish Lovers of fishing, or Oregon, or life, or the search for life's meaning should love this book. So should readers interested in thoughtful, creative and honest writing; or of clever, insightful and profound character development. Gus Orviston is an enduring main character, and his discovery of his brother, Bill Bob's, unique and beautiful self, by itself, makes the book worth reading. With a ...             Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss And the Musical Rent Libray Edition (Library Edition)75 reviews Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 surprised me There are things that I didn't expect, that surprised me a little bit about his character, but if anything, seeing Anthony come through all of these situations only upped my respect for him as an actor, as a writer, and as a person.             A Grief Observed (Library Edition)134 reviews C.S. Lewis Blackstone Audiobooks, 2005 Raw and true CS Lewis looks death into the face; he does not flinch and does not console himself with platitudes. He had lost the love of his life and his pain is palpable to the reader. This is a raw and honest book but it is not at all depressing: At the end of the book, Lewis begins to recover: his wish is simply that, on his own death bed, his lover will come back to him and give him the consolation of ...             Last Lion : Winston Spencer Churchill Vol 1 Part II: Visions of Glory 1874-193239 reviews William Manchester Blackstone Audiobooks, 1990 As Good as Biography Gets This fully lives up to its reputation as perhaps the best biography ever written. Manchester does a peerless, masterful job filling in the background colors and giving a complete picture of Churchill from a young man into his early fifties. As Manchester emphasizes, this background was essentially the decline and fall of the British Empire and the aristocracy who ran it. Manchester's main point, ...             Work Less, Make More: Stop Working So Hard and Create the Life You Really Want37 reviews Jennifer White Blackstone Audiobooks, 2000 Good Book! If you feel that you work to hard and earn to little, this book is for you. Jennifer White shows you how to be more effective in whatever you do. When you become more effective--you will start earning more money-because your more effective, more valuable. Jennifer is one of the top coaches in the nation and it's not for no reason. Her methods are sound. Proven. They Work. Highly recommended. Zev ...             Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill Alone 1932-194040 reviews William Manchester Blackstone Audiobooks, 1990 Churchill's true finest hour; this book will give you a better appreciation of Winston's greatness, courage, and foresight For some inexplicable reason, the second (and unfortunately final) volume of William Manchester's biography sat on my shelf unread for some time. I think because the book spans the years 1932 to 1940 -- and does not cover most of World War II -- I skipped the book over, figuring that Winston's best and most important years were his war years. After reading "Alone", I realized immediately how ...             God's Smuggler37 reviews Brother Andrew Blackstone Audiobooks, 1998 EXCELLENT I read this book atleast once a year. It is the most exciting and inspirational book in my library.             The Inextinguishable Symphony: A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany42 reviews Blackstone Audiobooks, 2001 A son's voyage of discovery of his parents' nightmarish past What do we really know about our parents' life before we were born? That depends largely, I guess, on how much of an interest we show - and on how much they are willing to reveal. Because in the life of every person there are instances and times they rather wish to forget, and not revive time and again by discussion, even if only among their nearest and dearest. Such, in the lives of author ...             Anne of the Island65 reviews L.M. Montgomery Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 i read this over and over again. this book never gets old. i've had it for so long and now i'm off to college and i still enjoy reading it cover to cover. anne is a great character, one who is easy to love and who explains herself well. the other characters are also quirky. something about this book is very universal, which i think explains why even in this century i still find myself being able to relate to Anne. the plot, ...             Healthy at 10038 reviews John Robbins Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 Health at 100 John Robbin's book Health at 100 is one of the finest books I've read on living a healthy, vibrant life. Based on his own life experience and more particulary on the extensive research around the longest lived and healthiest, happiest people on the planet it is a must read for any person, at any age and stage of life, seeking sound,commensense input on living a healthy life. Very well written and ...             City of Thieves52 reviews Benioff, David Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008 City of Thieves It is WWII and Lev Beniov is a 17 year old Jew who has stayed in Leningrad while his sister and mother fled for the Russian countryside for safety after they are invaded by the Germans. Lev is caught looting a German paratrooper's corpse with some of his "friends" by the Russian army. As they all try to run away Lev stops to help the girl he likes. The girl gets away and does not even look ...             Code Name God35 reviews Stefan Rudnicki (Narrator) Mani Bhaumik Blackstone Audiobooks, 2006 East + West = "God" We live today in a world so divided by disparate religious ideas that there is a very real possibility that we as humans won't survive these differences. The spectrum of this divde is great and varied. Extreme Christian fundamentalists longing for a biblical Armageddon promote political choices that could bring on an ultimate nuclear holocaust. More moderate Christians eschew science in favor ...             The Great Escape53 reviews Paul Brickhill Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 Outstanding. It's a shame the publisher decided to put a picture on the cover of Steve McQueen wrapped up in the barbed wire at the end of his big motorcycle escape attempt. Because, you see, that never happened in the TRUE story of the Great Escape contained in this book. The movie (while good) took serious dramatic license, while Brickhill's book presents the facts. And they are quite inspiring and ...              search for books 1874-1932, 1932-1940, alexandra, churchill, discipline, edition, escape, germany, healthy, inextinguishable, island, knowing, library, libray, memoir, musical, nicholas, observed, smuggler, spencer, surface, symphony, thieves, thriller, torpedo, visions, warfare, winston, without, working books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
