Are differences ok in a marriage?
C E Rollins has researched the compatibility question over a period of years and shares important observations about it in this book.

Realizing that compatibility is the mainstay of a solid relationship, Rollins encourages you to take a realistic look at who you are and how you relate before you tie the knot. ARE WE COMPATIBLE? outlines five areas of similarity that are vital to a marriage...
* physical features and preferences
* cultural and family background
* emotional perspectives
* goals and dreams
* values

Self-tests for each area of compatibility allow you to make your own evaluations. Because each of you brings a unique combination of foibles, quirks, attitudes, talents, and qualities to your relationship, Rollins helps you see in advance of marriage where the difficult spots are likely to be and develop means of addressing and resolving them.

This practical and insightful book teaches the strategies for building a long-term relationship. The key to a good marriage -- one that lasts, fulfills, and provides deep inner joy -- lies in being compatible...not just in being enamored.

Review Date: 12/28/2005


Actress and amateur sleuth Alice Nestleton thinks up the perfect anniversary gift for her elderly actor friends, Alex and Lila. She has a chef whip up a replica of the meal the couple shared on their first date. For better or worse, they eat every bite. The next day, they're dead--from food poisoning. Of course, the only witnesses are the couple's two little kittens. Definitely cute, but certainly not viable on the witness stand. To say that Alice is the prime suspect would b an exteme understatement. And while the actor in Alice may love the spotlight, this is not the kind of attention she needs...

On a freezing January in 1992, five teenage girls crowded into a car. By the end of the night, only four of them were alive. The fifth had been tortured and mutilated nearly beyond recognition. Her name was Shanda Sharer; her age--12.
When the people of Madison, Indiana heard that a brutal murder had been committed in their midst, they were stunned. Then the story became even more bizarre. The four accused murderers were all girls under the age of 18: Melinda Loveless, Laurie Tackett, Hope Rippey, and Toni Lawrence.
Here, for the first time, veteran true crime journalist Aphrodite Jones reveals the shocking truth behind the most savage crime in Indiana history--a tragic story of twisted love and insane jealousy, lesbianism, brutal child abuse, and sadistic ritual killing in small-town America...and of the young innocent who paid the ultimate price.

A minister who has everything - a fine congregation, a loving wife, loyal friends - pledges to live life as Jesus lived it.
He and his followers are scorned. His church and community are torn by dissension. He is physically attacked.
This is a powerful novel of faith, love, and the power of the Bible pitted against sin, moral decay, intolerance.


The Day the Dollar Dies

Author: William Cantelon
Book Type: Paperback

Review Date: 5/3/2007


The price of gold reaches an all-time high, despite the devaluation of the dollar and the floating of the Japanese yen . . .

Germany suspends all monetary exchange indefinitely after buying up billions of dollars in a desperate attempt to shore up the traditional currency-leader . . .

International financial experts openly admit that the only way to stave off global economic chaos is to institute a new world money system . . .

Computer technology enables every individual in the world to be issued a single credit card, and, to insure against loss,theft or forgery, its number can be photographically impressed upon forehead and wrist, visible only under ultra-violet light . . .

Tomorrow's headlines? Or are they already today's? How will the dollar die? Will a world government follow in the wake of a world currency? How prophetic were the words of the founder of the Rothschild dynasty, when he said, "Give me control of a nation's economy, and I care not who writes its laws."
World prophecy and world finance are two of the most fascinating and timely topics in the news today. Now, for the first time, an expert in both fields draws on a lifetime of research to provide a provocative insight into what light the Bible (the most popular source of prophecy and the only reliable one) can shed upon these perilous times.

Do you know what your "stuff" is? It's your family, your money, your goods, your house, your health, and anything else that belongs to you. This book was written so adult believers could also grasp the vital concept of the authority Jesus gave us over Satan and his kingdom -- the authority that allows us to say, "Devil, don't touch my stuff!"
