Historia
Harry Crews grew up as the son of a sharecropper in Georgia at a time when “the rest of the country was just beginning to feel the real hurt of the Great Depression but it had been living in Bacon County for years.” Yet what he conveys in this moving, brutal autobiography of his first six years of life is an elegiac sense of community and roots from a rural South that had rarely been represented in this way.

Story rings true
Revisado: 07-26-22
Short of a few exaggerations this book describes farming in Bacon county in the 30’s to 60’s. I heard some great storytellers at Cartertown grocery. Although by late 50’s many farmers had a lot more machinery to help. My grandfather was Jesse Boatright but by 1962, when I started coming up each summer, he had no sharecroppers. Though an uncle sharecropper all his life I later learned.

Historia
Originally published in six volumes, which sold more than one million copies, Carl Sandburg’s Abraham Lincoln was praised as the most noteworthy historical biography of Sandburg’s generation. He later distilled this monumental work into one volume that critics and readers alike consider his greatest work of nonfiction, as well as the most distinguished, authoritative biography of Lincoln ever published.
Growing up in an Illinois prairie town, Sandburg listened to stories of old-timers who had known Lincoln. By the time this single-volume edition was competed, he had spent a lifetime studying, researching, and writing about our 16th president.

Abe was God ordained to Hold True
Revisado: 08-07-21
Abe was in a firestorm as President. His party, GOP, had radical anti-slavery Now to conservatives who were said Go Slow. The Democrats were 70% against ending slavery. So at best he had 55% of voters for war to end slavery and keep the USA together. Those officials not in his camp did all kinds of crockery to stop him. Made me think of the swamp Trump found himself in.

Leave out the f word and save about 1/3 of the book. Legalistic with little heart. You can thank him for 10 pitchers a game.

Sad tales
Revisado: 08-18-20
I have lost some respect for Graham Nash and the band. Love the music, not so much their lives. I am not used to non stop vulgar language. Take out the word f—k and loose 25% of the words (slight exaggeration). A braggarts tale of lust and drugs.
The music stories were great but not the “tell all”.

Historia
The decade of the 1790s has been called the age of passion. Fervor ran high as rival factions battled over the course of the new republic - each side convinced that the others' goals would betray the legacy of the Revolution so recently fought and so dearly won. All understood as well that what was at stake was not a moment's political advantage, but the future course of the American experiment in democracy. In this epochal debate, no two figures loomed larger than Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.

Excellent choice of weaving two great founders with different visions
Revisado: 12-24-18
What an interesting read! The political mud racking was perhaps more viscous than today. Obvious parallels to today’s heated politics. USA has indeed become more Hamiltonian with the Federal Government now 1/3 of the economy and employment. What a built in voting block for bigger government yet. May God help us to slow down building the beast or it will crush us like the monarchs of old that Jefferson feared.

Midlife crisis in the white house

Outstanding “Radio” Drama/Comedy
Revisado: 11-04-18
This is a wonderful production. The play is thought provoking while making you smile at the same time. A nice combination with a neat double twist at the end. Loved the LIVE feel of the performance and you can feel the energy from each actor. Hope they do more work together! It brings “Broadway” to all of us not in New York.

Great examples of how the Deep State has hidden power
Revisado: 11-02-18
Mr. Chaffetz’s experience in Washington is a sad story of how lifetime government bureaucrats are the real power in Washington. Since they are predominantly Democrats, they protect Democratic politicians while aggressively harming Republican politicians. We need to give Congress the power to root out anyone who places their party over the interests of ALL Americans. God help us.

We all need inspiration to lead lives that honor God. When our faith is weak or the pressures of the world seem overwhelming, remembering the great men and women of the past can inspire us to renewed strength and purpose. Our spiritual struggles are not new, and the stories of those who have gone before can help lead the way to our own victories.

Excellent survey of 50 People God raised up for Ministry
Revisado: 08-25-18
Warren does a good job of providing a concise but informative picture of each persons upbringing, spiritual moment, and acomplishments . James Lewis was a great choice for reading. My only disappointment is that not having the hard copy, I have to listen repeatedly to find the spot where Warren makes recommendation of which books to start reading by one of the 50. Quote tedious. Once case where hard copy is superior.

Historia
Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry.

Revisado: 04-22-18
Big fan of Leonardo’s art. Now I know he was many contradictions and huge procrastinator and left many paintings unfinished. But he typified the Renaissance man - jack of all trades, master of one. This book will certainly enlighten you on the artists time he lived in and the choices he had to make when there was not a good choice. Fascinating detail and thoroughly entertaining.
