A quite surprising "pure historical" and one of those adventures that unfolds over the course of six months or so, features Ian still wonderfully played by William Russell. It's a story that challenges and excites... and wasn't at all what I thought. For more, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

The story of the women behind John Glenn's trip into space is something of beauty and feeling. A great story of historical value. A movie filled with the lives of great women and their work at NASA. This movie is for everyone and I would recommend it.

The historical fiction series flashes back for the first of a trilogy about the birth of Yeshua. Powerful even if you already know the ending.

Brilliant stuff! I absolutely loved this book, and also Having the Builders In, which comes before this. It's only sad that there aren't any more in the series. It's a nice, light read and made me smile while retaining a good sense of historical period and accuracy.

Good read for all ages. Read the first time as a child and reread recently and still enjoyed it. There isn't much dialogue but the descriptions are great. A good survival story that is slightly (probably barely) based on historical fact. Interesting and held up well.

Book Favorite

"The deepest and most thrilling of all Japanese novels, which embodies the refined sensibility and historical burden of a nation just on the cusp of World War II. The novels of Kawabata, the Nobel prizewinner, are also dear to my heart, especially the Sound of the Mountain."
