Editorial Review Product Description The Brethren is in many respects his most daring book yet. The novel grows from two separate subplots. In the first, threeimprisoned ex-judges (the "brethren" in the title), frustrated by theirloss of power and influence, concoct an elaborate blackmail scheme that preyson wealthy, closeted gay men. The second story traces the rise ofpresidential candidate Aaron Lake, a puppet essentially created by CIAdirector Teddy Maynard to fulfill Maynard's plans for restoring the powerof his beleaguered agency. Grisham's tight control of the two meandering threads leaves the readerguessing through most of the opening chapters how and when these two worldswill collide. Also impressive is Grisham's careful portraiture. JusticeHatlee Beech in particular is a fascinating, tragic anti-hero: amillionaire judge with an appointment for life who was rendered divorced,bankrupt, and friendless after his conviction for a drunk-drivinghomicide. The book's cynical view of presidential politics and criminal justice castsa somewhat gloomy shadow over the tale. CIA director Teddy Maynard is anall-powerful demon with absolute knowledge and control of the public willand public funds. Even his candidate, Congressman Lake, is a pawn inMaynard's egomaniacal game of ad campaigns, illicit contributions, andinternational intrigue. In the end, The Brethren marks a transitionin Grisham's career toward a more thoughtful narrative style with lessinterest in the big-payoff blockbuster ending. But that's not to say thatthe last 50 pages won't keep your reading light turned on late. --PatrickO'Kelley Customer Reviews (1038)
One of the Worst I've Read.

Editorial Review Product Description An apocalypse approaches in the new novel from bestselling author Shayla Black's electrifying Doomsday Brethren series, as a magical warrior and a spirited witch ignite a smoldering passion that could destroy them both. As a mysterious dark cloud drains the life of her beloved brother, Doomsday Brethren leader Bram, Sabelle Rion can think of little else. Still, every time she meets Ice Rykard's intense green gaze, her body aches with need for the sexy warrior. Their attraction is explosive, incredible -- and forbidden. As dangerous as he is unpredictable, Ice is her brother's sworn enemy. But as Bram weakens, a more sinister force is gaining power. Evil Mathias and his ruthless Anarki army are on a bloodthirsty hunt for the Doomsday Diary. Sabelle must guard the potent book with her life -- and Ice vows to protect the beautiful witch with his. Duty demands that Sabelle deny her lover's fiery call of possession and mate with a man who can sway the magical Council against the impending rebellion. With the fate of magickind hanging in the balance, will she forsake the burning desires she can't ignore or turn her back on her people for the courageous man she can't resist? Customer Reviews (18)

Editorial Review Product Description Ex-marine Caden MacTavish has shunned his magical heritage all his life, but he will do anything to heal his desperately ill brother, a Doomsday Brethren warrior in mourning for his missing mate. Posing as a photographer, Caden must convince firecracker tabloid reporter Sydney Blair to reveal the source of her recent exposé on a supernatural power clash. Unfortunately, keeping his hands off the sizzling redhead proves as hard as getting them onto the potent and mystical Doomsday Diary he discovers at her bedside. A bloody rebellion led by an evil, power-hungry wizard is imminent. If Sydney divulges the book's existence, she will jeopardize magickind's most deeply guarded secrets and become the ruthless wizard's number one target. Caden has never trusted magic's cruel and dangerous powers, but he will protect Sydney with his life and magic -- even if it means risking his heart. Customer Reviews (19)

Editorial Review Product Description Dangerously handsome Simon Northam, Duke of Hurstgrove, and his uptight brother Mason are hardly close, but crashing Mason’s wedding and stealing his fiancée further aggravate their sibling rivalry. Duke’s family has no notion he’s a wizard, so how can he explain that magickind’s fate lies with the beautiful, tenacious bride he longs to seduce? Felicia is an Untouchable, a rare human whose presence disables magic—even the impenetrable forces surrounding Morganna le Fay’s tomb. The evil witch’s malicious powers could propel nefarious wizard Mathias to ultimate world domination . . . if he can resurrect her. To conceal herself, Felicia must succumb to her smoldering desire for Duke, but he risks binding his life—and sanity— to a lover whose loyalties are forever torn. He faces a choice: betray his brother for ultimate survival . . . or lose the woman who tempts him beyond control. Customer Reviews (3)

Very excellent book on non-Catholic religions
Balanced and Scholarly
Comprehensive and informative, but perhaps reaching TOO far?
Concise, informative, and tries hard to be fair There are a few instances where the text contains implied judgement.Particular scorn is reserved for the Mormans (as would, of course, be fitting for such a religion that has the gall to call itself Christian).Whalen cannot resist the occasional contrast against Roman Catholicism, and I got the impression that apologists for the various Faiths described would not have focussed quite so much on certain aspects. Nevertheless, it must be recognized that this is a book written to assist Catholics in ecumenical and interfaith understanding, rather than a purportedly unbiased review of religions.As such, it is perfectly acceptable to feel the loss of critical aspects of the Catholic Faith within those religions that derive from the Mother Church. As a side note, since some Baptists claim their church "pre-dates Christ," I suspect they would be quite offended by their place on the "Christian Family Tree" in Whalen's book.I also suspect that when even the Pope recognizes Eastern Orthodoxy as "the second lung" of The Church, the placement of the Eastern Orthodox church on a branch would cause significant resentment. Finally, most notably lacking in the book was treatment of the Traditionalist Catholics.Their claim is that the second largest denomination in America is "Catholics who left after Vatican II."While SSPX might be relatively small in America, I would consider their presence at least as worthy of note as "The Old Catholics."
Essential reading for any Christian Whalen's Separated Brethren is not apologetic in style, but it is apologetic in effect as it enumerates with certainty the post-apostolic origins of non-Catholic, Christian religions. Like Foxe's Book of Martyrs? Read this. You will be blown away when you see the other side of the coin. Are you a Christian who would like to see the early Church restored? Read this and find that She never died. She is, perhaps, unrecognizable, but only because She has grown more wise and beautiful. Whalen also brings together in one volume the teachings of all the mainline Protestant traditions, as well as some cults and some non-Christian traditions. I would like this book to be in the hands of every Catholic who thinks that it doesn't matter which church you go to. They are NOT all the same. A quote from "Critic" on the back cover calls this book "a masterpiece of synthesis." Well said. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description In the first book ever written on the subject, Carl Bowman examines how and why members of the Church of the Brethren -- historically known as "Dunkers" after their method of baptism -- were assimilated faster and earlier than their Amish, Mennonite, or even Hutterite cousins. "Brethren Society is unique, creative, and well written. There are virtually no other books to compare with it." -- Donald B. Kraybill, author of The Riddle of Amish Culture "Thoroughly and richly researched, clearly organized and cogently written. Bowman's account will be the standard reference on the subject for years to come." -- James Davison Hunter, University of Virginia "This brilliant analysis will shape the interpretation of Brethren history for many decades." -- Donald F. Durnbaugh, Elizabethtown College Customer Reviews (4)
