Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City
Review Date: 2/15/2012


"Does a good job covering the history of the Boardwalk but don't get it thinking it has anything more than a brief chapter on the time period of the tv show. Miss leading marketing at its best."

"Give to someone that hates Glen Beck and make them eat their words. This man is all heart. The book is a quick read with a few "Oh wow" moments that will make you pause to catch your breath. I am an atheist and must say this is the best religious book that demonstrates the beauty of Christian belief and Love. Get this to open your heart."


The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America
Review Date: 2/15/2012


"I read it every 7/4, makes a great tear jerker when you consider how far the US has gone from the promise and the point. Easy to carry and pull out to prove you are right. Not to mention that it is put out by a great organization."

Happiness Is a Serious Problem : A Human Nature Repair Manual

"I am an atheist and Prager is one of the few theists I respect. He makes a logical case for need for religion in happiness. The book does and excellent job of explaining happiness. Good counter to Rand's position that it is selfish (which is a positive) to be happy and that it is from accomplishment. Prager says it is altruistic that you are happy for others you care about. He makes good points well argued but I am still not convinced."
