The House on Hope Street

Book Description

In eighteen years of marriage, Liz and Jack Sutherland had built a family, a successful law practice, and a happy home near San Francisco, on Hope Street. Then, in an instant, it all fell apart.

It began like any other Christmas morning. But for Jack Sutherland, a five-minute errand ends in tragedy. And suddenly, Liz is alone, in the wake of an unbearable loss.

How can she go on without her husband, her partner, her best friend? How can she grieve when she must console five devastated children, including one with special needs?

Powered by her children's love, Liz finds the strength to return to work, to become both mother and "daddy." One by one the holidays come and go, until a devastating accident sends her oldest son to the hospital—and brings Dr. Bill Webster into her life. Bill becomes a friend to Liz as he slowly heals her shattered son.

With the first anniversary of Jack's death approaching, and with it another Christmas in the house on Hope Street, a new relationship offers new hope, and Liz reflects on the little blessings that give strength when nothing else is left. But she will face one more crisis before she can look ahead to the beginning of a new life.

The House on Hope Street is about learning to live again after you think life is over. It is about cherishing small miracles, and believing in big ones. It is above all about hope.

Adam 12 - DVD.......2006-03-09

Very enjoyable to watch TV from that era - no cell phones, vintage cars. The DVD is very good in terms of color, quality of sound, etc. However, I did encounter freezing at the beginning of an episode. Otherwise, I recommend this product.

SAD BUT VERY GOOD!.......2006-02-13

I found this story sad but very good with nice ending. She suffers alot but I really enjoyed the ending.

Fast paced, touching..........2005-11-23

Danielle Steele is a writer who wields the written word like an artist... using story lines that attract you by their sheer difference from what people experience in their own "tame" lives. Widowhood, single parenting, trauma, and grudging admiration make this story compelling...a tear jerker.... I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates the talent of a successful story teller.

Sorta Boring.......2005-07-24

This being the first book I read by Danielle Steel I expected more than what I got since I love the moive verisons of her book. The start gives it hope but near the end you can sense the direction that the book is taking and I like alittle unpredicatable stuff.

Just a beautiful story!.......2005-02-21

Haven't read the hardcover version, but it's the same book. This is a beautiful story that deals with loss and love and hope. The first couple of chapters are difficult because they deal with a family tragedy and you've just come to like one of the major characters who is killed...but then the story really takes off. A true triumph of human spirit. Danielle Steel has such a way of weaving a love story into a real life situation.

The Man Who Captivated New York by Rosalie Lieberman
A charming story that continues the adventures of Brother Angelo, the gentle, saintly lay brother who first appeared in The Man Who Sold Christmas. Here he undertakes to rebuild a damaged church...with the most surprising results.

Pilgrimage to the Shroud by G. L. Cheshire
Little Josie Woollam was wasting away with osteomyelitis when she visited the Holy Shroud of Turin...and returned with her spirit renewed.

The Big House on Hope Street by Myles Connolly (Complete excerpt from The Reason for Ann)
A powerful story of juvenile delinquency...and how Christians love can cure it. Vinnie was tough, hard and wanton. She seemed headed for a life of crime when she was committed for a year to the care of the Good Shepherd nuns. Then a wonderful change came over Vinnie...some might call it a miracle.

The Tales Christ Told by April Oursler Armstrong
This remarkable book not only retells the Parables of Our Lord in vivid modern language, but it recaptures the spirit of the times He lived in. We see the growth of the Apostles from simple working men to the first leaders of the Church. We catch the mood of the crowds Jesus spoke to, and the malice of His enemies. Above all, we meet Jesus Himself, in a portrait that makes every page come alive.

Product Description

A wife and mother puts the pieces back together after her husband is murdered.Liz and Jack Sutherland are successful divorce lawyers who live in Marin County, California, with their five children. On Christmas morning, the enraged husband of a client shoots Jack dead. In her typical singsong style, Steel (Granny Dan, 1999, etc.) takes Liz and her kids into the unthinkable horror of losing the person they love most in the world and then leads them pretty quickly out. Liz is helped through the following year by her best friend Victoria, her secretary Jean, and her housekeeper Carole. Nonetheless, in true soap-opera fashion, she shoulders most of the burden herself. Although she's grown to dislike dealing with people's nasty divorces, she stoically takes on a double caseload. She helps all her kids--especially her youngest child Jamie, a learning-delayed boy whose brain was damaged at birth--deal with the death of their father. When it comes time for the Special Olympics, an annual occasion for Jamie, Liz takes over Jack's job as trainer, coaching Jamie to his first winning medals ever. After an agonizing nine months of learning to sleep alone, Liz meets Dr. Bill Webster, the trauma doctor who helps her teenaged son Peter recover from a diving accident that left him with a head injury. Though Bill has always avoided long-term commitment, he can't help but be impressed by Liz's grit and her love for her family. Her daughter's resistance to him temporarily scares Bill off, but another Christmas finds him ready to take on carpooling with the manliest of them.This time out, Steel makes an intelligent choice of subject matter--and only occasionally threatens to treacle it to death.

Sugoku tanoshii wa yo........2007-06-05

I own this series in Japanese, and it is a wonderful read! It has all the important elements of a good shoujo manga: it is romantic, twisted, with a shoujo (in the traditional meaning of the word) involved in finding a new family and love triangles galore. It is just a very fun read, no matter the language!

Worthwhile, but still difficult........2007-05-28

I'm continuing with Fruits Basket since I have been enjoying the character interaction. Now that I've gotten to volume 6 it's getting easier to recognize the characters, but there's still a lot of cross-cultural stuff that eludes me. The most irritating part to me is...I don't even know how to explain this, but here goes:

Someone (usually a Sohma) is thinking about something. So the words are on the page, not inside thought bubbles or anything, just words on the page. But the pictures are of other people (usually Tohru, or Tohru plus other Sohmas). The thinking person is not always present at the scene being shown. For example, the book has Hatori and Shigure in a conversation. Then we have a few pages of this "someone's thinking" with pictures of Tohru et al. having a fun time. Then at the end of these 5-6 pages, we find that it was Hatori doing the thinking. So I have to go back and reread from the point where he and Shigure were talking, so that I understand what is intended. These books really are a lot of mental work to process at times.

I have picked up the first volume of Ouran High School Host Club to see if it's a problem with me, or a problem with manga in general, or a problem with Fruits Basket. I'll report back after a few more volumes of Fruits Basket!

I looooove Fruits Basket!!! You HAVE to buy them all!!!.......2007-05-23

Yes, the "Best Manga Ever According to Me" award goes to.. FRUITS BASKET!! It's absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! I loved it so much, I've read it 5 times already!
I must admit, sometimes I love Kyo so much it scares me, and this book didn't help.. now I feel bad for him too! This book has lots of character development for Kyo. It was good timing on the writer's behalf. I find myself drawn to the pages where Tohru encounters Kyo in the forest, it's such a perfect scene for him and Tohru.... oh, it makes me want to swoon.....

Fruits Basket=LOVE!!.......2007-04-18

Alright, now i've been reading manga for about 2 years now and i haven't been hooked on one as much as Fruits Basket! It's amazing, it combines romance with comedy, it's a definate page turner! This one may in fact be my favorite one out of the series so far...it's absolutely amazing! You get to see a side of Kyo you haven't seen yet and this particular manga has alot of character developement in it. It's a definate buy for anyone that wants a good romance/comedy! Not only do you get to see an emotional side of Kyo you haven't seen before, but you also get to see his "true form." Overall, the 6th volume of Fruits Basket is a must read! Kyo is personally my favorite character and you really get to see a side of him you don't normally see and you get to see the relationship between Kyo and Tohru deepen and become alot stronger! Definatly a 10/10!
~alexis~

I think my favorite out of all the series!.......2006-06-19

Here in the volume of Fruits Basket you go deeper into Kyo's life...being in the year of the cat Kyo has a "true form". Tohru of course sees him as he really is but will she accept him? Only you can find out but reading this volume!

Yuki is also in the volume but his story is not as deep (but gets deeper as the series goes on) and he has worried Tohru. The "boar" is back and is obsessing with Kyo of course. This volume is so much fun to read, I CANNOT help but read it over and over like 20 times in a row!

Book Description

At first glance, the Book of Leviticus seems like barren material for lively preaching. Most expositors merely skim the surface for messages on tithing or sabbath-keeping. Yet Leviticus is one of the most important books of the Old Testament; it not only describes the complete religious system of ancient Israel, it also lays the theological foundation for the Christian gospel. In Holiness to the Lord, Allen P. Ross enables preachers and teachers to mine the riches of Leviticus and deliver them to a contemporary audience. Following the same practical method he used in the acclaimed Creation and Blessing, Ross first carefully sites Leviticus within its context in the ancient world. Then he traces the development of God's plan of salvation-how Leviticus' laws, rituals, symbols, and events prepared for the complete revelation in Jesus Christ. Finally, unlike traditional commentaries, Ross offers helpful ideas for correlating Leviticus to New Testament teachings (particularly Romans, Hebrews, and Peter) and for applying the material in relevant expository form. Holiness to the Lord is every expositor's indispensable guide for interpreting the Law for the church and for elucidating Leviticus in practical, biblical messages about worship, sanctification, and obedience.

Customer Reviews:

A Great Resource!.......2007-01-05

Holiness To The Lord is a well-written and outstanding resource on the Book of Leviticus. Allen Ross has written this commentary on Leviticus for both the layman and serious student of the Bible. Leviticus is a book of worship, and Ross writes his book on that premise. For every chapter, Ross gives the theological significance, outlines the main points, and gives an overall one-sentence synopsis of the chapter. With this structure in place, the reader can easily understand Leviticus for information and for preaching. Holiness to The Lord is a highly recommended resource for any pastor's library.

You'll never read Leviticus the same way again........2004-08-28

Dr. Allen Ross has taken what most Christians probably consider the most boring book of Scripture and opened it up theologically and historically to reveal the wealth and beauty God has placed there for those willing to learn and enjoy.

Intended as an expository guide for preachers (at which it succeeds wonderfully), this work is of tremendous importance and value to every Christian. Ross takes all the ritual and ceremony and law of Leviticus and shows how they were ultimately fulfilled for us in Christ. And in so doing he reveals to us aspects of Jesus' work we never realised or, if realised, never seriously thought about.

If you are looking for or interested in a work that will cause the scales to fall from your eyes and let the Spirit show you the riches of God's word as contained in Leviticus, this book is for you.

Excellent!.......2003-11-19

I had the priviledge of taking a class with Dr. Allen Ross. He is extremely qualified and is an expert on the Hebrew text. His commentary is right on, and deadly accurate. More importantly he gives information most authors skip over, reading his book gives anyone new insight into the Book of Leviticus
