N. T. Wright

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1997

Jesus and THe Victory of God
It is a very comprehensive and informative book. Apart from all the critics, Wright has provided a much needed balanced overview of recent writings re the Historical Jesus and outlines a challenging pisture of the Central message of christianity.

The Victory Garden Cookbook

42 reviews
Marian Morash

Knopf, 1982

My most-referenced cookbook
I'm ordering a new copy of The Victory Garden Cookbook because my original is falling apart. It's a quick reference for preparing just about any vegetable you can think of, but the bonus is that it offers terrific recipes. Everything I've ever made from this fantastic cookbook has turned out to perfection. If I could only keep one cookbook on the shelf, it would be this one!

Eleanor Burns

Quilt In A Day, 2008

A Visual Feast!
My copy of Ms. Burns' Victory Quilts book arrived yesterday, and I've already gone through it cover to cover - and can't wait to go through it again to start planning my first project! The book is about 1940's sampler quilts - which can be made using 20 different sampler blocks, each of which is rated according to degree of difficulty, making this a book that will appeal to quilters of all skill ...

The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success

Rodney Stark

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006

This book is a victory for reason
After reading this book, I rather suspected that the title should refer to the book itself. Or maybe it should be called "why everything you think you know about the history of Christianity is wrong." Granted, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but this book squarely takes on all sorts of myths and confronts them with the facts and solid reasoning. No sacred cow gets left alone. Here are just a ...

"The truth will set you free"
I read The Bondage Breaker a few months ago, and I picked up this book after reading it. However, I decided to put it away and read it later on, in a time where I'd need some spiritual uplifting, revelation and/or affirmation. Well, that time was now, and after going through a rather difficult time, this book called out to me in the worst possible time in my life. Neil T. Anderson does with ...

Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil

Robert Zubrin

Prometheus Books, 2007

Victory through ingenuity
Gas is $3.80. OPEC continues to bleed us. The Saudi's continue to export radical Islam financed by our oil dollars. Environmentalist continue to obstruct. To counter these factors Zubrin lays out a solid, cogent plan utilizing METHANOL not corn based ETHANOL. This plan uses existing technology not pie in the sky maybe here in 10 years hopes and dreams.

Douglas E. Nash

The Aberjona Press, 2008

The Best View From the Other Side of the Hill in Years
In recent years, a growing community of active duty military historians has enriched the discipline through the type of scholarship gained at our nation's post graduate service schools. Names like Edward G. Miller, Mark J. Reardon, and Peter R. Mansoor, just to name a few, have contributed greatly to the World War II canon. Douglas E. Nash has certainly earned his rightful place among this ...

Victory of Eagles (Temeraire, Book 5)

Naomi Novik

Del Rey, 2008

break-neck pacing, but not much happens until the end...
First, i'd like to say that i read this book cover to cover this morning, in one sitting. It's not terribly short, but it is a fairly easy read, and with the pacing so fast i just couldn't justify a break. I noticed around page 150, though, that despite the constant action and constant motion, not much was happening. In fact, the only real plot movement took place in the last 50 pages or so. ...

Dark Victory: The Life of Bette Davis

Ed Sikov

Henry Holt and Co., 2007

AS ENTERTAINING AS THE LADY HERSELF
Ed Sikov's masterful biography accomplishes something I thought to be nearly impossible; it is a book that is as entertaining as the legend it captures so beautifully. Cinema buffs will love the way he disects and analyzes her movies ( minor complaint, I would have liked to have seen more deconstruction of the performances in Now Voyager ). I've read the odd criticism here and there that he ...

Breakfast at the Victory

James P. Carse

HarperOne, 1995

A "bible" for today - and tomorrow.
My uncle had given me a copy last Christmas. We discussed the book, and its impact upon our lives, fairly often. When he was hospitalized late this year with what turned out to be fatal colon cancer, he insisted upon having his copy with him in the hospital. When you read Breakfast at the Victory, you'll understand why. Its one of those once-in-a-decade books that affect you for the rest of ...

David Weber

Baen, 2001

Exceptional!
Another exception book by David Weber in the Honor Harrington series. I love the female heroine, which is not common in the sci-fi genre of this type, and she is totally believable, totally relatable, and simply amazing! I have read each and every book of this series and except for one, I found them all to be equally compelling. Now, I want one of those cats! (read the book to find out what I ...

Seven Soldiers of Victory, Vol. 4

Grant Morrison

DC Comics, 2007

Interesting but feels incomplete
The four volumes of 7 Soldiers are a complete story and it really can't be reviewed until the last one was published. Morrison had a few goals with this series, first was to create new, interesting characters readers will want to see again. He certainly succeeded at that. I'd be happy to revisit any of the characters. Well maybe not Shining Knight, but almost any of them. The second was ...

Edge of Victory I: Conquest (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 7)

Greg Keyes

Del Rey, 2001

Key chapter in the New Jedi Order saga
Conquest is the seventh volume in the massive New Jedi Order series, and is the first book in author Greg Keyes' Edge of Victory duology. If found Edge of Victory an interesting title choice for this series-within-a-series, since by the end of Conquest I was still unable to see which faction in this galactic war - the New Republic/Jedi Order or the Yuuzhan Vong invaders - was supposed to be ...

Apathy and Other Small Victories

Paul Neilan

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

Fantastically ridiculous!
I loved this book for exactly what it is; a hilarious, ridiculous, sometimes-gross absurdity! The parts about Shane's office experiences are especially great because I think we have all been there--with the over-enthusiastic moron you work with who drives you insane. You know, the person whose emails are riddled with hundreds of unnecessary exclamation points and every other word is ...
