Another Great Ambrose Writing

Revisado: 03-06-25

It is astounding to read about how the USA clawed its way back from the Civil War and the men who funded and built the transcontinental railroad. In an age of supercomputers, rockets to the planets, and jet travel measured in hours and not days, this will take you back to a time when life moved at a very slow and sometimes dangerous pace, The tributes to the Irish, Chinese and many other races of workers that accomplished this massive undertaking are well deserved. The hardships and dangers from weather, indians, and each other make you wonder how it ever got finished. Excellent American history.

Little Known WWII Navel History

Revisado: 03-06-25

This story is the true history of just one part of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. After delivering the nuclear bomb that was dropped on Japan to end the Pacific War, this battle cruiser was hit by Japanese torpedoes and sunk, taking hundreds of young men to their graves. The way the story is told gives the listener a minute-by-minute look into these brave sailors' daily lives and ultimate deaths. If you are interested in WWII history and the contribution made by the US Navy, you will love this audio book.

A Detailed Explanation Of An Amazing Story

Revisado: 01-22-23

As a 'Baby Boomer' whose father served in the Marines stationed in the Philippines I have always been irritated by the debate on whether the use of nuclear weapons was justified. This book digs deep into the entire process undertaken from the decision by FDR to create a weapon to the end of the war in the Pacific after dropping two bombs on Japan. I highly recommend it to anyone who finds the use of it offensive.

War is Hell and it should be avoided at all costs but if you are forced to fight you should fight to win. The Germans and the Japanese in the 40's were determined to destroy the allies. The USA and its allies fought to win and they did. The story of how they did should be required reading by all who feel the use of nuclear weapons was immoral.

First Rate Explanation Of The Hermetic Teachings

Revisado: 01-18-22

This was a great listen. I heard about this author when listening to Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. The author is also done a video presentation that covers all of these topics. I found them very enlightening and well worth my time.

Bret Baier Hits Another Home Run

Revisado: 10-30-21

This is the second book on a president that I have listened to from Mr. Baier. As in the past he does it perfectly. His book on Eisenhower was just as enthralling. This is a story that is perfect for our time. Regardless of your political view and your view of the current situation in the United States this book will give you a great insight on what real leadership is. In my opinion, leadership has been sorely lacking in our government for a number of years. In light of our current situation it's pretty obvious that it is very lacking now. I have always loved American history and where the interesting twists and turns that the political environment we have here takes us. If you are interested in political history or just like to read about great leadership this book is an excellent choice.

Much More Information

Revisado: 05-07-21

I chose to read this after listening to the audible version of 'Jesus - A New Vision'. This gospel and the gospel of Mary Magdalene we're both mentioned as references to a deeper understanding of who Jesus was.

Actually the book by Whitley Strieber changed my life and put me in a direction that I have now decided is where I'm supposed to be for the rest of my years. I highly recommend both his book and this Gospel of Thomas rendition. I'm now moving on to the gospel of Mary Magdalene.

An Epiphany For Any Believer Or Non-Believer

Revisado: 04-26-21

This book changed my entire worldview. An in-depth look into the life & times of a mortal man who it would appear didn't know he was the Christ until long after his youth & young adulthood. Strieber is an incredible writer who takes you into the story of a spiritual belief system that began as simple teachings from a humble yet incredibly focused & courageous man who set out to deliver a message of hope and strength to people who lived in complicated and dangerous times much like the ones we are in now.

As a man who always looked at life as a predicament rather than a gift of learning & adventure, I have been transformed by this book in the 70th year of my life. Raised in a Methodist home with a strict view of the scriptures I was bored and actually turned off by organized religion. This book showed me why.

Whitley Strieber is a very gifted and engaging writer who is undoubtedly a very spiritual being. If you have any curiosity as to the true origins and development of Christianity this book will stun your imagination.

Exceptional Historical Book

Revisado: 02-07-21

As a Jefferson fan and a visitor to Monticello, I found this deeply researched story into the final years of the life of an exceptional American to be impossible to stop listening to. It reveals the deeper side of a very complex individual and also shares much worthy information into his family and descendants.
