Marvelous book for all ages!!!.......2007-10-03
My mother purchased this book for my son at the National Gallery in Washington and he loved it! Soon after, his pre-school class visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the museum educator shared the book with the children while discussing the museum's Calder mobiles. The kids and the teachers loved it so this past Christmas, I purchased the book for all of the pre-K teachers in his program. They were so pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it themselves, with their classes and with their own children!
It is a delicate but wonderfully crafted book. The hunt for the little red dot is an added bonus!
Seeing Spots.......2007-07-22
Couldn't resist purchasing this book for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She is fascinated with pop-ups. This one is a work of art. Could be used as children's book or coffee table book. My daughter and 80 year old Grandmother were both enchanted. I would recommend this book to anyone young or old. Just as a sidenote I also purchased the Blue 2 book by the same author "creator". It is much easier to find the red dots than the blue 2s. This is much more fun for my daughter, but I preferred the challange of finding the blue 2s. Overall, beautiful books. Thanks.
Beautiful piece of art!.......2007-06-06
This book in a stunning counting book. It is both smart and beautiful.
Very cool.......2007-01-26
The pop-ups in this book are extremely well done. I am impressed by their intricacy. It is not a challenge to find the dot, but that's hardly the fun of this book. I would not let any child near it though.
Marvelous Book!.......2007-01-16
I purchased this book for my 5 year old granddaughter. Not only did she insist on finding all of the dots, but it had several of the adults intrigued as well. What fun we all had! This book will be a favorite for years to come!

Wonderful.......2007-04-11
This is a great book for any age or stage in life. It is challenging and insightful.
It all starts with a change of heart, this book engages the heart!.......2007-03-31
No one can read this book, The Hidden Power of Kindness, without looking at himself and his behavior towards his brother. It illluminates the little, yet destructive things that we do to one another, but on the otherhand, it illluminates the little, yet life healing things we can do to one another! Love lives and acts through kindness.
A Good Blueprint for Life.......2007-02-21
"The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls Who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time" by Rev. Lawrence Lovasik is an abridged edition of "Kindness" which was originally published in 1962. Its message is as important today as it was then, perhaps even more so.
We live in a rude world. It often seems that people have forgotten how to be kind. "The Hidden Power of Kindness" seeks to remind us. Lovasik begins by offering six simple rules to living kindly, three "don'ts" and three "do's:"
"1) Don't speak unkindly of anyone.
2) Don't speak unkindly to anyone.
3) Don't act unkindly toward anyone.
1) Do speak kindly of someone at least once a day.
2) Do think kindly about someone at least once a day.
3) Do act kindly toward someone at least once a day."
When you do commit an unkind act, ask God for forgiveness, offer an apology to the person, if possible, and say a prayer for the person you offended.
The remainder of "The Hidden Power of Kindness" expands upon those simple rules, providing concrete examples of ways to practice kindness. Jesus told us to love our neighbor. Acting with kindness is a powerful step to living that mandate. Lovasik's book offers a wonderful blueprint for transforming your life and your relationships with other people.
Lovasik's "Power" - ful Kind of Book on Daily Christian Living.......2006-05-12
Read this book's appendix first. It's a series of questions which, answered one after another, takes your temperment temperature and provide Catholics a confession checklist. It also proves the book's back cover tagline, ""You're almost certainly not as kind as you ought to be..."
"The Hidden Power of Kindness" is written firmly from a Catholic mindset to a Catholic audience. Author Lawrence Lovasik, a Catholic priest, condemns birth control and points to criticism of clergy and religious as egregious sins against charity. His somewhat scolding tone (you'll faintly smell fire and brimstone) recalls "old-school" Catholicism, the book first published in 1962. But this book provides any faith-based person timely reasons and reminders to place more Christian kindness and charity into their daily lives.
Building his case from Scripture and quotes and anecdotes from Catholic Saints, Fr. Lovasik shows examples of kindness in word, deed, and thought. He urges readers to reconsider how they treat words spoken in confidence and jest (with especially harsh words on sarcasm), inner thoughts on forgiveness to people who've hurt them, how to act when two people disagree. He cites empathy and punctuality as examples of kind behavior, and silence as "the language of God," and key means to holiness. Throughout, Lovasik's narrative and chosen quotes stress charity and kindness aren't alone virtues without Christ-like purpose.
The book is inspiring, its wisdom timeless (especially its poetic words on how to treat those who are sick and dying) and its tips practical when embedding kinder behavior in everyday life. (It also gives the lie to a now common idea of rude, even cruel behavior being acceptable in the name of "honesty.") "The Hidden Power of Kindness" shows how kind words and actions, born from love and fear of God and desire for God's glory, provide unseen dividends in a society unused to them. Recommended as a practical,near-reference manual for daily human interaction.
An in-depth examination of conscience.......2005-07-15
I highly recommend this book if you desire to penetrate your heart in order to discover secret sins hidden there. I found that I could read several pages and think "OK, Ok Good! I am doing well in that area..." But then "Uh Oh, hmmm...that is me and it is not pretty"
I highlighted my problem areas so I could survey it before my next confession.
Book Description
As a boy growing up in rural Arkansas, Bob Brewer often heard from his uncle and his great-uncle about a particular tree in the woods, the "Bible Tree," filled with strange carvings. Years later he would learn that this tree was carved with symbols associated with the Knights of the Golden Circle, a Civil War-era secret society that had buried gold coins and other treasure in various remote locations across the South and Southwest in hopes of someday funding a second War Between the States. These secret caches were guarded by sentinels, men whose responsibility it was to watch and protect these sites. To his astonishment, Bob discovered that both his uncle and his great-uncle had been twentieth-century sentinels, and that he had grown up near an important KGC treasure site.
In Shadow of the Sentinel, Bob Brewer and investigative journalist Warren Getler tell the fascinating story of the Knights of the Golden Circle and the hidden caches the KGC established across the country. Brewer reveals how, with agonizing effort, he eventually deciphered the fiendishly complicated KGC codes and ciphers, which drew heavily on images associated with Freemasonry. (Many of the key KGC post-Civil War leaders were Scottish Rite Masons, who used the cover of that secret fraternity to conduct their activities.) Using his knowledge of KGC symbolism to crack coded maps, Brewer has located several KGC caches and has recovered gold coins, guns, and other treasure from some of them.
Shadow of the Sentinel is the most comprehensive account yet of the activities of the KGC after the Civil War and, indeed, into the 1900s. Getler and Brewer suggest that the clandestine network of KGC operatives was far wider than previously thought, and that it included Jesse James, the former Confederate guerrilla whose stage and bank robberies helped to fill KGC treasure chests.
This is a rousing and provocative adventure that weaves together one man's personal quest with an intriguing, little-known chapter in America's hidden history.
Customer Reviews:
If you're interested in treasure stories, you like this book........2007-06-09
I very much enjoyed this book....until the last chapter. My family is from the same area of northwestern Arkansas as original source material for this book. I was able to see a lot of similarity between my family's stories and what is in the book. I thought it was very captivating except for the ending. I felt like there should have been another 100 pages to resolve the details that you are lead to. I was left with my jaw hanging. That being said, I do think it makes a very interesting and provocative read.
Starts Good But Gets Bogged Down.......2007-02-01
Started well but there were chapters that just lagged. It will probably be of more interest to those wishing to decipher treasure signs.
Great Read!.......2006-02-17
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I began and finished it in less than 12 hours. Once I picked it up and started reading it was impossible to stop. I enjoyed the mystery, the history, the captivating writting technique and the fact that you really never get bogged down with one topic or activity of the writers. However, for those of you who have read it, I noticed he never says what was in the trunk that he wasn't supposed to go into. I am very much into Confederate history as well as Jesse Woodson James, so this reveiw may be biased. I have to admit I wanted to grab a shovel and a metal detector and head out West after reading this book. I really believe there is lots of hidden treasure in the South. If this book ain't true and the writer is a lier then I guess it ain't true and the writer is a lier. But, the book is very interesting just the same. If you are a believer of what he writes about, you too could find treasure.
Confederate black helicopters, perhaps?.......2005-11-20
REBEL GOLD is a better than average conspiracy book, if you're into that sort of thing. And it has the added allure of postulating the existence of a fabulous buried treasure.
Written by ex-Vietnam vet Bob Brewer and investigative journalist Warren Getler (Wall Street Journal, International Herald Tribune), REBEL GOLD describes the former's twenty-five year quest to establish the existence and location of Confederate gold and silver caches buried by the pro-secessionist Knights of the Golden Circle in the anticipation that they could one day be used to further a second Civil War. Along the way, Brewer associates the Knights with the Scottish Rite Freemasons, Scottish freedom fighters, the medieval Knights Templar, and the post-Civil War outlaw activities of cousins Jesse Woodson James and Jesse Robert James. (Gee, there was more than one?) Brewer concludes that Jesse and Jesse weren't robbing for personal gain, but to enlarge and help conceal the Confederacy's rainy-day stash.
Brewer's quarter-century involvement with rebel treasure depositories, which are ostensibly scattered over a wide swath of territory in the American Southwest and South, is incremental. Growing up in the Arkansas backwoods, Bob was first exposed to the existence of hidden swag by listening to the recollections, stories, and veiled references by resident old timers. It wasn't until he returned home from Vietnam that Brewer began to take these verbal clues seriously and undertook to systematically correlate and follow widely spread physical mapping clues, principally carvings in the trunks of trees and buried markers. To his credit and the overall story's credibility, Bob did manage to unearth several relatively small troves of buried coins in the area. Later, as his knowledge of the KGC increased and he came into possession of additional coded maps and information, he transferred his attention to a larger area across the state line in Oklahoma, and finally to Arizona's Superstition Mountains. In Oklahoma, he was thwarted by a fellow treasure hunter with whom he'd naively shared knowledge and who allegedly beat him to a significantly large stash of gold in a buried safe. In Arizona (and back in Arkansas), Brewer was, and still is, blocked from unearthing (presumably) major hordes by the fact that the sites are on federal land. And who, in their right mind, wants to share found riches with the dang guv'mint, eh?
Bob's ultimate triumph, if it can be called such, was in identifying the precise but presumed location of the Arizona treasure vault - underneath Picketpost Mountain - after interrelating a myriad of clues - including cliff carvings, buried markers, and coded stone tablets - with the help of a couple of local amateur treasure hunters and a topographical map of the region.
This yarn by Brewer and Getler is a good one, though to be completely believable the reader would, I suspect, had to have been there. Brewer's surmises and intuitive leaps are both numerous and mind-boggling. For instance, concerning an enigmatic stone tablet containing both text and the image of a horse, an image which Brewer had discerned amidst the contour lines and other features of his topo map:
"Bob surmised that the textual clue DON ... was intended to read in reverse, as NOD. If the giant horse's head were to nod ... it would be facing the zone of interest, directly south."
Further, from a newspaper obit about the death of the presumed KGC sentinel Elisha Reavis, Bob's mental contortions are revealed:
"The article reported that a 'Billy G. Knight' - an English 'cowboy' ... had cautioned Reavis a couple of weeks before his mysterious death to 'see a doctor'. Reading between the lines, the 'English cowboy' could easily pass for a medieval Knight Templar, Bob thought. The G could well be a nod toward the hallmark symbol for 'Geometry' (some say, 'God') in Freemasonry. And, he speculated, based on related clues uncovered in Arkansas and Oklahoma, 'William' could suggest William Wallace, the heralded Scottish freedom fighter ..." Yeah, well, like I said, I guess you had to be there.
The thing is, as even Brewer himself recognizes on page 197:
"(The mapmakers) had left behind their signature system of symbolism, too subtle for most to recognize and perhaps too clever for those in the know to be able to follow the encrypted signposts."
So, what was the point of creating maps and clues so arcane and obscure such that die-hard secessionists in future generations might not even be able to recover the treasure? Whatever happened to "keep it simple, stupid"? Indeed, I suspect you could give the same maps and clues to a hundred different cryptologists and come back with a hundred different conclusions. Why should the reader believe Brewer's interpretation, especially as he wasn't (and hasn't been) able to make the major find that would prove him correct?
I'm awarding REBEL GOLD four stars for its interesting premise. Otherwise, it's hard to care. Besides, the symbol "Au" and a figure of the Virgin Mary have just appeared on the trunk of a tree in my yard with her finger pointing down. Hey, Mother, get the shovel! We're gonna be rich, girl!
Exciting new history proven by current day facts.......2005-07-25
First you should know that this is the paperback version of "Shadow of the Sentinel" but you will want both-that for your permanent library and this one for your backpack. I can personally attenst to the signs and symbols referenced as I lived in NW Arkansas in the 1950's and was surrounded by searchers for 'lost Spanish gold'. A true book you will not be able to put down and a search that is far from finished. Well written and extensively researched.

I read this book when I first became a believer and it left me transformed and in love with Jesus! This book brings divine understanding to the Songs of Solomon and will teach you more about the Lover of your Soul.
Book Description
Using long-lined, imaginative leaps to connect the everyday with the miraculous, the intimate with the visionary, Barbara Ras's poems surge across the page like waves crashing on a beach. She crafts the forty-one new poems in this collection with a zany and spacious cunning that reaches from family to community, from what's cherished to what's lost, from culture to nature.
Book Description
Of One Blood is the last of four novels written by Pauline Hopkins. She is considered by some to be "the most prolific African-American woman writer and the most influential literary editor of the first decade of the twentieth century, though she is one of the lesser known literary figures of the much lauded Harlem Renaissance. Of One Blood first appeared in serial form in Colored American Magazine in the November and December 1902 and the January 1903 issues of the publication, during the four-year period that Hopkins served as its editor.
Hopkins tells the story of Reuel Briggs, a medical student who
couldn't care less about being black and appreciating African history, but finds himself in Ethiopia on an archeological trip. His motive is to raid the country of lost treasures -- which he does find in the ancient land. However, he discovers much more than he bargained for: the painful truth about blood, race, and the half of his history that was never told. Hopkins wrote the novel intending, in her own words, to "raise the stigma of degradation from [the Black] race." The title, Of One Blood, refers to the biological kinship of all human beings.
Book Description
Extraordinary new talent Madeline Howard begins an epic trilogy of magic and power, hidden birthrights and prophecies, with The Hidden Stars, the first book of The Rune of Unmaking.
In a world devastated by a cataclysmic war between the wizards and mages, the Empress Ouri#225;na has seized the throne, proclaiming herself the Divine Incarnation of the Devouring Moon. Appointing twelve priests to perform her rites, she rules with a tight rein of evil sorcery. The priests, once men, have become twisted with magic, making them monstrous -- mutated. They bring destruction wherever they ride, and one kingdom after another falls, enslaved into darkness.
Yet signs and portents appear, puzzling the seers, and a tale begins to grow. A rumor of a young girl, talented and hidden, who is destined to end Ouri#225;na's tyrannous reign ... if she can survive long enough to do so. And so a brave band of wizards and heroes ride out in search of the hidden princess, pursued by the fury of the dark goddess herself.

Hidden Stars.......2007-09-01
If one is looking to read a book and have the story come to some sort of closure by its end then this is not the book to read. It is however well written and the characters are well developed. I am very happy to say that it stays away from a rehash of the generic Tolkien story as so many fantasy novels tend to do. Still I think the cards are too stacked in the antagonists favor and one wonders how a conflict could last so long when the heroes opposition to said tyranny appears so weak in its magical form. Nice read when one was time to kill. I look forward to the next installment.
Pretty good for a start.......2007-01-24
I just finished reading this book a few days ago. Unfortunately when I started reading fantasy novels a few years ago, I started out with in my opinion is the best-written, most stylish, and most thought provoking (Goodkind, Tolkien of course, JK Rowling, and another new-comer Mitchell Graham.)
These writers not only created great stories, but also had style, and made you care about about the characters, made you feel what they were feeling. Lately I have had a difficult time finding a good fantasy story that I like, let alone one that I can even finish. I have tried getting into both Robert Jordan, and Terry Brooks starting with their first ever novels, but they both lacked the style and emotionally expressive writing that enthralls me and keeps me turning the pages. No matter how decent, original, or fast-paced a story is, it is nothing without style.
Meredith Howard has style, and she writes with emotion. In certain parts of her story, you could tell when she was very passionate about what was happening in her world she had created. Although the story may have been told hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times through other writer's voices, she definitely has great potential to be a solid fantasy writer. The Hidden Stars was not the best book I have ever read, (of course she's got some stiff competition), but it was still a fast-paced and entertaining read. The fact that I was able to easily finish this book, and not get past one hundred pages of some of the most notable writers' first novels really says something to me about her first attempt. I do hope she continues writing, as I think with a little more imagination, she definitely has the right voice to put out some outstanding work.
an excellent novel.......2006-05-27
a book steeped in the mythology of an invented world that is one of the best high fantasy book that I have read this year. Too many writers of fantasy maeke the fatal mistake of inventing a threadbare world that has little or no history ofits own and in such cases it becomes impossible for the reader to sufficiently believe in the imagined world. Fortunately this author manages to avoid this problem by creating a mythology and a history for her world that she reveals in tantalising bits that makes the reader feel like as if he or she is actually reading two stories simultaneously, the former being the strory blurbed in the back cover and the latter being the fascinating invented history of her fantasy universe.
An exquisite novel that in no way feels like a debut.
Very highly recommended
The Hidden Stars.......2006-04-04
I feel I should start this review by stating that I'm not as a rule a fan of this genre. This book however is quite an exception and has caused me to rethink my overall opinion. Perhaps, as a few others have stated many of the themes and the style aren't entirely original, but isn't that what makes a 'genre'?
The Hidden Stars by my estimation is an excellent novel, the writing is fluid, the scenes engrossing, the characters well established and constantly growing and evolving as they confront new obstacles. The writer draws you into this world with subtlety, piquing ones curiosity and causing one to linger over passages in an attempt to grasp the vivid imagery that she has spun. The depth and true individuality of each character inspires empathy and desire to see them through their quest.
Upon finishing this book, I briefly entertained the idea of hunting Madeline Howard down and 'persuading' her to relinquish the second installment of this trilogy in what ever state it might be to satiate my curiosity as to what happens next!
All in all, a very enjoyable read, with just the right amount of magic and otherworldly appeal. I look forward to her future works.
The Hidden Stars.......2006-04-02
Madeline Howard's debut fantasy novel is very impressive. She manages, within only about 400 pages (very short for a fantasy novel!) to create a foreign world, populate it with convincingly three-dimensional characters, and create the framework for a trilogy that promises to be the traditional epic fantasy we all know and love, with a twist of something indefinably new and clever to make it stand out.
Howard's characters are her greatest asset- here, her story-telling really shines. Her heroes are not always heroes, but often walk around with chips on their shoulders. Her villain is terrifying in the extreme, but has a truly sympathetic and honorable son. Her female characters are strong without being brats, and hold their own firmly in a cast of brilliant men.
Howard creates a world already steeped with hundreds, even thousands of years of history- all of it fascinating. She creates languages and cultures and gives all of these a sense of history, too. One can only imagine the amount of effort and work that went into making the background for this story, before delving into the plot itself.
The Hidden Stars is a book that would appeal to any fantasy lover- young adult or old adult :-) It promises a strong trilogy of books that are set in an engrossing world.

Impressive.......2000-06-05
Rosenberg starts another 'dual' series here, but with enough of a different spin than the Guardians of the Flame saga that it doesn't feel like he's done it all before. I'm always impressed with the way he gives the reader insight into the history of his characters without being overwhelming. A great mixture of action and insight, the 'what' and the 'why' of what's going on in the story.
And as usual with Rosenberg, the story is excellent. Thorian the Younger and Ian Silverstein are both worthy young heroes, and happily enough carry some baggage with them that actually affects them both positively and negatively throughout the story.
The Keepers series, in my estimation, doesn't quite measure up to _D'Shai_ and _Hour of the Octopus_, but it's definitely in the same ballpark. Solid, entertaining writing, definitely recommended for fans of Rosenberg or fantasy in general.
A Excellent New Story from Joel Rosenberg.......2000-03-21
A trip home from college with friends turns into a nightmare with attacking werewolves and a journey to a mythical land..Once again Joel Rosenberg creates characters that you feel you know right down to their soul..Once you read this one you'll have to have the next 2 in the series & they won't dissapoint you..
A new and interesting take on that fantasy "otherworld".......1999-02-16
Rosenberg does an excellent job wafting us right into his interesting "otherworld" where fertility godesses live in their retirement and Odin runs a ferry. He identifies a little too much with Ian, I think, and spends just a little too much time on small details, but then again the details add to the richness of the setting, so long as they don't bog you down. All in all, an excellent read, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the books in the series. I hope he can keep up the freshness of the ideas and vitality of the characters better in this series than he did in Guardians of the Flame.
This is a fun book!.......1997-04-03
Being of fan of Rosenberg for some time, I was impressed bythis latests offering. It is a well crafted book that takes the oldcliche of real world people being thrusted into a fantasy world and adds a lot of surprises! The characters felt real and three-dimensional. I have to agree with the eariler comment about Ian Silverstein because he was a really well developed, interesting character. Looking forward to the second book The Silver Stone.
well-written fantasy with Norse influences.......1996-08-01
Ready for some fencing and Norse gods in your fantasy? This
book delivers. Torrie Thorsen, college student, brings his
friends home for vacation to rural Minnesota. Rosenberg
shows the uniqueness of the family such as the fencing studio
in the basement, Uncle Hosea's creations, and the mysterious
gold which is the basis of the family fortune. His father's
past as the professional duelist of the House of Flame invades
the present as werewolves attack through a portal from
another world.
The beginning of the book is the strongest because of the
descriptions of people in rural Minnesota. The character
development of Ian Silverstein (Torrie's friend) is very well
done. The fantasy world is well-constructed with lots of
conflict. The special guest appearances by figures from Norse
mythology are fun. I wish there had been more development
of the female characters. The second book in the series is
The Silver Stone.
