Hide and Seek
A Jane Whitefield by Thomas Perry is always a delight. This time out even though she'd promised herself to remain at home, Jane has a teenager and a septuagenarian to help disappear. Fiction reading entails a suspension of belief, for this one the flaw is five mafia families using the same accountant. But it makes for fun when said accountant fakes his own death and takes off with the money. ...

Protector of the Innocent
Jane Whitefield is a marvelous addition to the pantheon of females defending the good guys and defeating the bad guys. Her persona as a spiritual guide creates a twist that is novel and fascinating. Her super-hero powers are pretty good, too.

A must have - for Christmas or anytime!
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to fully embrace the spirit of Christmas. This is a great anthology featuring insight by many highly esteemed authors and theologians. The variety of perspectives offer insight into the birth of Christ that one may have never considered. This book allowed me the chance to slow down my thoughts a bit, moving away from the commercial aspects of ...

Thomas Perry is a great author!
I have read all of Thomas Perry's books. He is a great author! He manages to combine huge amounts of action and suspense with literate writing and well-developed, sensitive and interesting characters. "Dance for the Dead" is about Jane Whitfield, my favorite Thomas Perry character. Jane is a Seneca Indian who grew up near Niagara Falls, and the book is loaded with Indian history. Jane saves ...

Eye for history
The Divine Dramatist is an excellent and compelling story on the life, works and personality of the pre-American Revolution evangelists George Whitefield. Whitefield, an egocentric genius in self-promotion was an heir to the break-away Protestant revolt of 16th century Europe and he brought with him the many religious biases and biblical distortions of his time. With no one authority and ...

Taut Thrills (4.5 Stars)
"Runner" features the return of one of the most compelling female heroines in literary history: Jane Whitefield. When Jane last appeared about ten years ago, she was on her 'last case,' and her creator, Thomas Perry, wrote some pretty decent thrillers while he recharged his Whitefield batteries. This new book is vintage Whitefield. A pregnant woman in trouble shows up and needs Jane's help ...

Clear explanations of basic concepts.
I bought this book for my wife who is an avid gardener and who has been studying permaculture for several years. We wanted a good book that would explain basic concepts of "forest gardens" that we have only begun to study. She loves the book, and while traveling recently, she read the first two chapters to me. I found the author's explanations to be very clear and concise. He presented some ...
The Rise of Evangelicalism: The Age of Edwards, Whitefield, and the Wesleys (History of Evangelicalism)

You will be glad you read it
I am a scientist with an interest in church history, not a professional historian. But in my limited view, this is an important book. Covering the period of 1740 to 1795, it is the first of a five volume series edited by Noll on the history of evangelicalism. It appears to be a scholarly treatment of a topic of which I knew relatively little. I knew something about Edwards, Whitefield, ...

Couldn't Put it Down!
This is not your typical murder mystery. The heroine helps people enter their own version of "the witness protection" program. This book is one of the best of the series because it shows some vulnerability in Jane along with unexpected plot twists. And the action is non -stop. Loved it!

God's Anointed Servant Indeed!
This book is a 224 page condensation of the much longer, two-volume "George Whitefield: The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the Eighteenth-Century Revival". I purchased this shorter volume for our church library and am already saving up the $66 to purchase the longer work for my private library. I eagerly anticipate obtaining Dallimore's more exhaustive look at the life of this great ...

Great exercises - Definite improvement in my voice!
I love this book! It has fabulous exercises for strengthening the voice. I notice an improvement in my voice in only a few days of practice! I love that it has music for the exercises and not just the vocal line. The only thing I wish it had were descriptions of what techniques you are working on for each exercise. While this book focuses on classical training, it is great for other ...

Our Forgotten History
With movies like Patriot reviving an interest in our Colonial roots, our heritage of faith is also reviving. One of the stories that has not been told well enough is how our American Revolution grew out of a revival of Christian faith called the Great Awakening. The leader of this movement was an amazing man named George Whitefield. Few know that name today, but our Founding Fathers new it well ...

Awesome eyewitness Account of the Great Awakening!
This book is absolutely priceless on several levels. First of all, we have Whitefield's daily journals covering the prime years of his life and the ones that go right the heart of the Great Awakening, the series of transatlantic revivals that took place from 1735-1745. You read of the powerful movings of the Spirit through his preaching, the tremendous response of the multitudes, and the ...

Great for curious family members
As a recently certified Permaculture Consultant, I have found it harder to explain the overall concept to the curious (such as in-laws) than to potential clients (who have specific problems to solve). After a couple of tongue-tied attempts, I put together a quick definition suitable for small-talk and bought Whitefield's book for those who wanted to know more. This came in handy at a recent ...

Review of Select Sermons of George Whitefield
These sermons shed great light on the "Good ole preachers of yester year." When you've finished this book you will understand why so many were converted during this era. I'm impressed by the way this Servant of God preaches. He cuts right to the heart of the matter and brings your heart into the matter! You'll see shades of Spurgeon in his sermons. Very effective!

Love at first fight
In the first few pages, Jane disables a very large bad guy in an elevator. He grabs her ankle as she exits (He's 'lying down.'). She says to him, "Think about it. Do you really want me alone with you in that elevator?" He lets go. I'm in love. Nobody outsmarts, outfights, or outlasts bad guys like Seneca adventurer Jane Whitefield. The first three books in Perry's wonderful series--Vanishing ...

Superb, Appealing Life Story of a Man Every American Should Know About

Although it was said to be out of print and was not available in local libraries. imagine my pleasure to find new copies immediately available at amazon.com for a very reasonable price. Delivery by normal mail was swift, with ...
