Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-14 Summary: A-1 Biography of a 1970's Legendary Band ... I read this as a follow-up to the more recent Zep biography "When Giants Walked the Earth", and I was not disappointed. Both books are excellent and cover additional/different material. Entertaining and interesting. The material on the 1960's British rock scene was especially insightful. I hadn't realized that the major acts of that time that would grow to become legends had so much interaction and friendship i.e., the Stones, the Who, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, etc. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-15 Summary: Gets points for being the first book on this seminal band ... I read "Hammer of the Gods" when it first came out in the early 80s, well after Led Zeppelin broke up and somewhere between Robert Plant's solo MTV success and The Firm. At that time, a history of Led Zep was already long overdue. During the 70s, they were one of the biggest bands, if not THE biggest band, active in the US. I grew up in the Midwest in the 70s, and every guitar player of my generation was influenced in some way by Zeppelin, regardless of what style he ended up playing (yes, even the punk rockers). Nowadays ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-08-21 Summary: Rock Gods For Sure! ... Love this band they can do no wrong in my eyes. Definately the best heavy rock band ever. There will never be another Jimmy or Robert, the combination was magic. Loved the book hard to put it down, very raw! ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The members of Led Zeppelin are major deities in the pantheon of rock gods. The first and heaviest of the heavy metal monsters, they violently shook the foundations of rock music and took no prisoners on the road. Their tours were legendary, their lives were exalted—and in an era well known for sex and drugs, the mighty Zeppelin set an unattainable standard of excess and mythos for any band that tried to follow them. They were power, they were fantasy, they were black magic. No band...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-19 Summary: Both theological and literary qualities ... This is the foremost work by bishop Bo Giertz, a man who combined spiritual and literary genius. Few authors have been able to express the central theological truths with such a depth and acuteness of perception, as well as a lively imagination. While most mature Christians in the end appreciate the spiritual value of the book most, its formal qualities are also evident. Giertz's power of living the part of his characters is well-developed, the beauty of his Swedish is noteworthy, and his ability to capture the ways ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-03 Summary: Stunning ... in my top ten book list ... This Lutheran novel is broken into 3 stories at different times chronologically. The newest edition of this book has a new chapter never before translated which is good because I always thought the novel ended too abruptly and left me wondering what had happened! I have not yet read this last chapter as I have an earlier edition. I connected immediately to this book. The following are 3 sections of the book that stunned me to which I hope would draw you in as it did me. In the first part we find a dying old man screaming ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-12 Summary: Powerful and extremely moving ... During the years of its reign as the Established Church of Sweden, the Evangelical Lutheran Church grew increasingly abusive, unresponsive, liberal, and divorced from the lives of the common Swedish peasants. But, during the 18th century, the Pietism movement came to Sweden, calling people to individual piety and personal holiness. The Church of Sweden reacted vigorously against the movement, resulting in split congregations, persecution, emigration, and, finally, reform. In this wonderful book, Swedish Lutheran Bishop ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-07-26 Summary: Law/Gospel distinction - the forgotten doctrine of the Reformation ... This is an excellent book and much needed for evangelicals in our day. Although this is laden with some Lutheran thought that I theologically disagree with (being a Reformed Baptist), so that a small amount of discernment is required, from my point of view, the thrust of the book is about Christ alone as the sole foundation of our hope and the distinction between Law and Gospel. For one who generally does not read novels, this book is welcome both for these theological reasons and for the interest in the stories themselves. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | In this bestselling novel, three pastors learn the necessity of relying on God's grace. They fall short of their pastoral duties through public humiliation, self-doubt, inability to accept God's promises in their own lives, and divisions and quarreling among their parishioners. Ultimately each man rejects temptations and permits the Holy Spirit to work through him. This revised edition includes the final chapter, never before published in English. The new introduction provides historical...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-13 Summary: Vols fan ... I absolutely love this book. Whenever I get in a down mood, I will pick this book up and read a couple chapters. It is hysterical, especially if you understand what SEC football is all about. I have bought this book and given it as a gift for other SEC fans. Love it!!!!! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: Absolutely entertaining!! ... As reader, this book is well written and very entertaining. And, as all good books, it has great insights into human nature. As a college football fan, it was enjoyable to read about fellow followers. And, as an Alabama fan, it was neat to read about Alabama football events that I followed and/or participated in. A must read for all Alabama fans. A great read for college football fans. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-23 Summary: Great read for any college football fan! ... I really enjoyed this read. However, I am a huge SEC college football fan. There were a few laugh-out-loud parts, and most of the book kept a good humurous pace. I would definitely recommend this book to any sports fan! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: Roll TIde, Ya'll! ... Loved it-this book captures what it is like to be a true fan of something, particularly a sports team. I read it out loud to my husband and we both laughed until we cried at some of the stories. These types of stories are repeated over and over all during football season all over the United States (we live in Arkansas and it is certainly true here in Razorback Country-the RVers call themselves the Road Hogs). Being born and raised a Bama fan, though, all the madness makes perfect sense to me and I must sheepishly admit ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | What is it about sports that turns otherwise sane people into raving lunatics? Why does winning compel people to tear down goal posts, and losing, to drown themselves in bad keg beer? In short, why do fans care? In search of answers, Warren St. John seeks out the roving community of RVers who follow the Alabama Crimson Tide from game to game. A movable feast of Weber grills and Igloo coolers, these are hard-core football fans who arrive on Wednesday for Saturday’s game: The Reeses, who...more

[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-12-28 Summary: Good Collection of HAMMER'S SLAMMERS stories ... VOLUME TWO of THE COMPLETE HAMMER'S SLAMMERS is a good collection of novella sized stories, mostly from the late-80's. Following are individual reviews of each of the main stories: AT ANY PRICE (1985) **** - A breakthru story for its day... Military SciFi, with aliens. Drake's combat action dialog is hard to follow at times in this story, but still worth it. COUNTING THE COST (1987) *** - A Company of Hammer's Slammers (a spaceborne Mercenary Regiment) gets mixed up in the wranglings of a backwater world in political ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-27 Summary: old timer does the trick ... When I was young, I loved Mike Hammer. It was nostalgia to re-read the yarns. It might give the new generation laughs as there were no computers, cell-phones or caller id's. The forensic department was a joke. The detective actually had to use the brain. Womanizing and boozing, eating bloody steaks and blowing low-lives away without going to jail was the thing to do. I still get a kick out of it. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Memory lane part 2 ... This book, like volume one is a wonderful trip down memory lane of the 1950's. Even if you were born much later, it is a great look back at a time when everyone smoked, cars had start buttons, and women were dames. Also missing is all the cuss words in all the books and movies of today. ...more
