Best kids' church history book available
Very informative and wonderfully written stories of the heroes of the Christian faith. Riveting and inspiring! I've used this with my own children, in teaching Sunday School and in my 4th grade class. It's always the preferred book, even when reading from several other sources. Every Christian should read this book.

The Triumph of Deborah

The Conflict of a Lifetime
My favorite aspect of 'The Triumph of Deborah' was how the illegitimate daughter of the Canaanite king, Nogah, was in constant conflict of who her loyalty should be with, her Jewish mother and her people, or her Canaanite father and his people. The situation was depicted so clearly, to the point where the reader felt Nogah's pain when she realized she could never bring those two worlds together. ...

Great history and very entertaining
A very good historical record of the Church that pulls no punches and is a very fun and witty read. Triumph reads more like a novel than a history book. One word of caution however this book is not for "liberal Catholics". Mr. Crocker speaks the truth without worrying about "ecumenical" and other feel good I'm okay your okay gobledeegook A must read for any serious Catholic who wants to know ...
Triumph Forsaken: The Vietnam War, 1954-1965

Outstanding and Objective
This is the best analysis of history, of any kind, in the last 50 years. It is criminal that we are void of outstanding teaching of historical events in recent time. Your book is a terrific study of Vietnam and the Vietnam War from 1955 to 1965. I was also surprised at your remarkable writing skill. You build a path of logic that leads the user through a sequence of events that let's the user ...
The Roman Triumph

Mary Beard
Belknap Press
, 2007
Well Written and Thoughtful
Ms. Beard possesses such command of the subject and immense erudition that she can pull off an enjoyable and well-written book on a specialized topic. Of particular value are Ms. Beard's insights into the process by which scholars - from antiquity to today -- have established "facts" of Roman History, and their fragile (if not inaccurate) basis. This is highly recommended for anyone with ...

Joseph J. Ellis
Knopf

The Continuing American Revolution
Together with the Civil War, the American Revolution continues to exert a great fascination for Americans. The historian Joseph Ellis has written many books making this period of our history accessible to lay readers. His most recent work "American Creation" is, in its scholarship and its lucidity, a thoughtful study of the founding of our nation. The founding of the United States, for Ellis, ...

Covers all the bases
Having "been there, done that" (anxiety), I've read a lot of books about the subject and I can highly recommend Triumph Over Fear. It's an inspiring, motivating book that covers all the bases. I'd been a professional speaker for many years, traveling throughout the country giving presentations and teaching classes, then I was in a car accident and became agoraphobic. I told myself that I'd give ...

Valuable for a seamstress
I found this book six years ago in the libarary. I took copious notes from it over the next few years I checked it out. I finally purchased it and with every reading get more tips for style. I wish I had purchased it sooner. I sew and it has proven valuable for things like selecting prints, woking with fabric texture, and determining hemline, waistline and neckline lengths and widths. ...
Churchill's Triumph: A Novel of Betrayal

Michael Dobbs
Sourcebooks Landmark
, 2008
To classify it as historical fiction would be to rob it of its realism and distinctiveness.
Michael Dobbs in his most recent historical novel, Churchill's Triumph: A Novel Of Betrayal spins another mesmerizing portrayal of one of the greatest statesman, Winston Churchill who, as we are reminded at the very beginning of the book stated: "History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale ...

the FACT of evolution
Everyone who disagrees with Evolution almost invariably says "it's just a theory". Well, the word "theory" in the scientific community is different than how it is (usually falsely) used in the "secular" world. Since Darwin published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. MOUNDS of evidence supporting Darwins Theory have been amassed. This book does a fantastic job describing every facet of ...
