Sun In Glory.......2006-06-03
This was a much enjoyed sellection of short stories and some very tallented writers. There was no getting bored here, if you have read the valdamaran series and are familiar with the stories this book will mesh well with your memories of the other tales.
Fantastic!.......2006-03-10
I am always a bit sceptical about anthologies, even the Marian Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey ones. However, Mercedes did a truly fantastic job of editing these stories to remain true to the Valdemarian history, lands, and people. I highly recommend this book for the Valdemar-lovers out there!
I did not like this at all.......2005-12-08
I generally enjoy Mercedes Lackey books, what with them being the most abundant set in my bookcases, but I was sorely disappointed with this. It just was not up to my expectation of excellence for this writer. The only story I specifically remember that I like whas something about a priest who lived off somewhere by himself and one of the giant cats from the Karse sungod thing... if you have read the books, you know what kind of cat I mean, I just can't think of it. I also can't think of the name of the stories because I barely made it through by skimming to see if there were any I wanted to read after reading a couple. I didn't see this as a good investment other than completing the collection, and if you aren't a book collector, I recommend checking this out at a library or going to a used bookstore or borrowing from a friend. It's not worth the money. There are worse books, but this was far below my level of expectation.
She does it again!!!!.......2005-07-07
Mercedes Lackey has created a world that is so comfortable and
realistic that she could continue this saga forever!!
Hit and Miss.......2004-12-16
I quite enjoy most of Lackey's work - it's entertaining, engaging light reading, with a well thought out world and sympathetic characters. Not great literature, but a really good read.
That said, I have not been impressed with her forays into editing. Sun in Glory suffers from the same faults as its precurser, Sword of Ice. There are a couple of decent stories, notably Nancy Asire and Tanya Huff's entries, which provide interesting forays into Valdemar. Most of the rest read as if they were fan-fiction. Not truly terrible, but unsatisfying and unable to stand on their own as good stories.
My advice - go off and pick up a copy of Magic's Pawn or Arrows of the Queen, or Oathblood for some *good* Valdemaran short stories. Give this book a miss, unless you are intent on completing the series.

Book Description
1935. A Worldwide Appeal to Replace Present Superstitious Creeds by Genuine Religion Which Must Be True, Rational, Universal, Exalting. What is truth? This book is a plain outspoken attempt to show that, while the answer to this question can never be more clearly or beautifully expressed than in the pure teaching of Jesus, yet it was, in the main, world-widely known thousands of years before he was born-that his version of it has, like himself, been woefully betrayed, denied, and forsaken by his professing followers, throughout the whole Christian ear-and that now, though hidden from the wise and understanding, it is fully confirmed by rational deductions from the most reliable scientific data of all kinds. Contents Part I-True, The Original Foundations of True Religion: A View of What is Commonly Called Genesis in True Form. Part II-Rational, False Religions; Reason versus Faith; True; Rational; Universal; Exalting; Part III-Universal, True Religion: A Gospel According to True; A Gospel According to What is Rational; A Gospel According to What is Universal; A Gospel According to What is Exalting; Part IV-Exalting, The Living Sun: True Revelation. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber invites you to join her in Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. If you've read Dakota Born, Dakota Home or Always Dakota, you've already met the people of Buffalo Valley -- and you'll enjoy this opportunity to visit them again.
If this is your first time in Buffalo Valley, you'll soon feel right at home!
Customer Reviews:
Very cute!.......2004-11-01
This was a very cute. Either I just don't like really gushy love
stories or this one was just too easy to guess. I did enjoy it
though. A good beach read.
Great Christmas Read!.......2002-03-17
Buffalo valley has run into a big problem that could destroy what the community has worked so hard to rebuild. Valu-X is planning to build in their town, and no one in Buffalo Valley will welcome the retail chain nicely. With Christmas on the way can every one still pact together to keep Valu-X out?
Carrie Hendrickson is re-introduced to Buffalo Valley working for Hassie as an intern for the pharmacy.
Vaughn Kyle is a man that has his life mapped out perfectly. He has a very successful girlfriend, a great new job that he starts the first of the year. Vaughn decides to go home to see his parents for Christmas, but in the short time he's there his whole life, career, girlfriend - are now a big question mark!
This novel has great characters, plot and town! I love how this town pulls together no matter what! I hope Debbie Macomber takes us back to Buffalo Valley someday.
A pleasant return to Buffalo Valley!!!.......2001-10-17
I just love the Debbie Macomber's books. Her Christmas books are particularly welcome and BUFFALO VALLEY is no exception.
Vaughn Kyle is visiting Buffalo Valley at the request of his girlfriend, an executive with a large discount superstore which has plans to open a store in the little town. It's been many years since Vaughn had visited the town his mother grew up in, but he's happy to check out the town as it is near his parents' home in Grand Forks. He also wants to take the opportunity to meet Hassie Knight, Buffalo Valley's pharmacist. Vaughn's mother had been engaged to marry Hassie's son, Vaughn, but he was killed in Vietnam. Although Hassie always remembered her son's namesake with cards on his birthday, the two have never met. But when Hassie stops at the pharmacy, instead of Hassie he finds young divorcee Carrie Hendrickson instead. When Carrie finds out who the handsome stranger is, she offers to take him on a tour of the charming little town. It isn't long before Vaughn meets many of the town's citizens and they are all taken with him - Carrie even more so. Carrie has closed her heart since her divorce and Vaughn is awakening feelings in her which have been long dormant.
Vaughn has told no one, not even his parents, that he is checking the town out. But the town soon gets wind that the superstore plans on moving in and they are none too happy about it. How will they feel when they find out Vaughn has ties to this company?
BUFFALO VALLEY is a fitting follow-up to Debbie Macomber's Dakota Trilogy and is sure to please her legions of fans, particularly those who have enjoyed prior visits to this fictional North Dakota town. Readers will also enjoy appearances by characters from the previous books. This book is a very pleasant respite from current world events. I got completely lost in Buffalo Valley this afternoon and felt the tension leave my body as I entered another world. Another great read from a master storyteller!
warm regional drama.......2001-09-23
Vaughn Kyle has just left the Army and seems to have every thing ready to start civilian life in an upbeat manner in Seattle. He has been thinking of marriage and will start a job in the New Year, but returns home for the holidays to see his family in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
A bit restless about his future, Kyle visits elderly pharmacist Hassie Knight in Buffalo Valley. He never met Hassie before, but they are connected as his parents named him after her deceased son who died in Nam. At the pharmacy, Kyle meets trainee Carrie Hendrickson. They begin to fall in love. However, Kyle's employer in Washington State plans to build a superstore that will put the small shops out of business and potentially destroy the serenity and optimism of the area.
BUFFALO VALLEY is a warm regional drama that returns readers to a special place highlighted in Debbie Macomber's Dakota trilogy. Fans of the series will enjoy learning what has happened to the townsfolk in Buffalo Valley since the last novel was published. Though the tale is Rockwell in scope, painting a simplistic evil Goliath vs. idealistic David landscape, the story line retains the flavor and charm of the series, especially as the audience looks into the lives of the cast. Ms. Macomber takes her myriad of fans on a wonderful journey to a Shangra-La threatened by "progress".

Book Description
The story of General Benedict Arnold's defection to the British in September of 1780 has never been presented in this way. “Brilliantly conceived and thoroughly researched book. A fascinating new look at one of history’s most infamous men. You-are-there feel of a novel. Thought-provoking, intriguing and historically important, Eye of the Eagle will truly open your eyes”. New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh
Customer Reviews:
Great reading.......2007-07-29
I very good book that gives the reader an interesting twist on what was believed to be gospel. The author's research is convincing.
awesome .......2007-04-20
An awesome book....definitely a different view .... a must read for anyone seeking to truely understand Benedict Arnold's story.
A Novel Approach to History.......2007-04-19
Who would have thought that what was assumed by the average student of American history to be an open and shut case against Benedict Arnold could be brought into question. And, furthermore, to do so with such detailed facts woven into a rather gripping novel format. Mr. WIlczak has laid out a compelling case that Arnold was not a traitor but a collaborator with George Washington to ultimately fool the British. This book could be the basis of an excellent movie.
Finally a different view!.......2007-04-13
This book expresses a thoroughly researched, fresh approach to one of history's most infamous legends. When I began to read the book I felt my feelings regarding Benedict Arnold could not be swayed. The author, however, through meticulous use of timeline, documented fact, and letters of many of the involved, opened my eyes to the possibility that Arnold may have been the protaganist in a great scheme to free the colonies and help create the United States. I highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks the truth instead of the commonly handed down history stories we have been fed since childhood. AAAAA+++++
AMAZING FACT FILLED BOOK.......2007-03-27
Well written and amazing to read. Author captured the moment and took you there. Book was flooded with facts.
I would highly recommend this book, it is not only for the history buffs.
If you do enjoy history, you will love the author's details.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent from the Historical and General Perspectives.......2007-03-20
Admittedly, it is difficult to be comprehensive and remain a "handbook," meaning something that you could take with you and refer to while on the trail or the river. If you are looking for specific maps for trails, I would recommend books by Tim Ernst, or if you are looking for details on running the river, A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to the Ozarks are both superior for their individual information. This said, if you want something to refer to in general with historical as well as geological information along with talk of the flora and fauna with generalized information on trails and the river this book is outstanding. Excellent color and black and white pictures, and a searchable index.

Book Description
When a tremendous spacecraft took orbit around the Earth’s moon and began sending smaller landers down toward the North Pole, the newly arrived visitors quickly set up a permanent spaceport in Siberia. Their presence attracted many, and a few people grew conspicuously rich from secrets they learned from talking to the aliens. One of these men, Rick Schumann, established a tavern catering to all of the various species of visiting aliens, a place he named the Draco Tavern.
From the mind of #1 New York Times bestselling author Larry Niven come twenty-six tales and vignettes from this interplanetary gathering place, collected for the first time in one volume, including:
“The Subject Is Closed”: A priest visits the tavern and goes one-on-one with a chirpsithra alien on the subject of God and life after death.
“Table Mannners: A Folk Tale”: Rick Schumann is invited to hunt with five folk aliens, but he’s not quite sure what their hunt entails, or if he will be the hunted.
“Losing Mars”: In this previously unpublished tale, a group of aliens who call Mars and its moon home arrive at the tavern only to find that humans have mostly forgotten about their neighboring planet.
Book Description
For the growing number of women who want to drop out because they are stressed out, this easy read provides practical solutions. Women can immediately apply these tools and strategies for limiting commitments, identifying gifts, dealing with emotions, nurturing the spirit, burying anxieties, facing the past, celebrating accomplishments, developing a support network, and protecting dreams. The Worn-Out Woman will help the reader trade in a life of running on empty for a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. She will find and recapture her passion, finally realizing the great potential God gave her.
You’ve come a long way...maybe.
“Most days I feel overwhelmed.”
“I want to run away and start over.”
“The joy and excitement are gone.”
There are more than 60 million worn-out women in the U.S. today. If you’re among them, this book will be like a retreat for your soul.
One short chapter at a time, you’ll find simple steps to bring back the joy and energy of a rich life. What’s more, you’ll finally understand and learn to manage the sources of your exhaustion—perfectionism, guilt, unrealistic expectations, and difficult people—in a healthy way.
Story Behind the Book
We have written this book because it will provide the worn out women of today’s society with practical solutions to those who want to drop out because they are stressed out. Although some of you will look for quick checklists… wanting to jump to the “just let me unclutter my life” sections… we know the value of uncluttering you heart first. For that reason, we’ve included chapters for all areas of your life—emotional, mental, social, physical and spiritual. Most other books focus on learning to say no, simplifying your lifestyle, organization, and nurturing your spirit. Our book is unique because it includes all of these but also covers solutions for the root causes of why women do too much.
Customer Reviews:
Women of all ages need this book!.......2007-01-29
My church recently hosted a bible study with Alice Gray (co-author of this book) as the speaker. The ideas she shared from her book were so practical and necessary for every worn out woman out there in the world! It was as if she was speaking directly to me when she described what a worn out woman is and how I got this way. After hearing her speak I just knew that this book was something special and I bought a copy. This book is truly inspiring and a must read if you want to break free of being overwhelmed, stressed, tired and just plain worn out.
What Others are Saying.......2004-06-23
Dr. Steve Stephens and I have had a tremendous response to this book. At one of the seminars where we spoke, one lady came up with dozens of red, yellow, and green tabs poking out from the pages. She explained, "The red tabs mean I need to take action on these ideas right away. The yellows will be next and the green I can get to more leisurely." Thelma Wells, National Speaker for Women of Faith, writes, "Years of research, counseling, and success are jam-packed in this practical, powerful book." Bestselling author Liz Curtis Higgs wrote, "Just reading it gave me a sense of peace and the gentle assurance that I CAN make some positive, healthy changes in my too-busy lifestyle." Elisa Morgan, President of MOPS International writes, "Ahh...at last--a pathway out of the insanity!"
If you are interested in working through the book with a friend or in a group, there is guide in the back of the book. There are fun ideas to try at the end of each chapter. Because we know women are busy (why else would they be feeling worn out?), we've kept the chapters short and practical.
There's three kinds of clutter in your life...schedule clutter, space clutter, and soul clutter. The book covers them all. (There's even a chapter on how to get a better night's sleep). Dr. Steve and I have found, a woman cannot unclutter her life until she unclutters her heart. Please visit our webpage at www.thewornoutwoman.com. God's blessings!
A Reality For Many Women!.......2004-03-15
This book lept into my arms from the store shelf!! The title alone spoke to me (and most of the women I know). With it's common-sense, Christ-centered approach to living, THE WORN OUT WOMAN gives practical advice on slowing down and regaining control.
I love that the book is 'interactive' with many suggestions on things to do and a reading/study guide for each chapter. This is the type of book you want to get for every woman you know who is doing too much and being all things to everybody -- and slowly killing her soul in the process!
I'm going to lead a discussion group on the book because I know so many women who can relate. WE ARE TIRED and looking for a better way! God Bless the authors for bringing it to the forefront and summing it up with one of the most appropriate titles I've seen in a long time.
