The Best One Yet.......2001-01-11
I thought this Melanie Travis story was the best one yet. Berenson keeps getting better and better. It's hard to review this and not give away the things that are revealed in this edition--Sam's past, to be exact. There was less "dog show" in this book, but the detailed account of the birth of Faith's puppies was wonderful and satisfied the dog lover in me. You suspect that Melanie and Sam's relationship is coming to a climax, but I'll have to admit that the ending surprised me. I was prepared for a predictable ending. It was very touching and thoughtful--leaving me eager for the next in the series. Ms. Berenson, please don't wait too long.
It's a dog eat dog kinda world.......2000-12-29
Melanie Travis is back in another mystery. It's the dog days of summer, and our teacher/sleuth, Melanie, finds herself along with her beau, Sam, in the middle of a violent shake up among the dog breeders and showers created by the premiere of a new kind of dog magazine. If the first copy proves anything, it's that the underbelly of the dog show world isn't very pretty.
Sam's ex-wife, Shelia, a pug owner, has invited Melanie and Sam to dinner to announce her partnership in a new dog magazine called Woof! It's going to expose the dirt on the dog breeders and shows. Sam, being a breeder show-person himself has a problem with the magazine, and seeing Shelia back with their old friend Brian, who is owner of the new magazine and a Saint Bernard. While Sam is dealing with Shelia and Brian being back together, Melanie is dealing with Sam's feelings for his ex-wife, driving the soccer car pool for her son, and taking care of her pregnant standard poodle. It's a busy life for these characters and a busy mystery. The following Saturday is a show, and Sam's poodle puppy is showing. While at the show, they receive terrible news of a murder. Sam takes the murder pretty hard and flies off to Illinois to deal with the victim's family. While he is away, Melanie plays intrepid girl sleuth and rounds up a list of suspects for his return. Just when she thinks she figured it out, another murder takes place and leaves her scratching her head.
I have two pure breed dogs, but I know nothing about shows or breeding. And to prove it, I never registered our dogs, the Lhasa carries a poodle cut, and the miniature schnauzer has floppy ears. They were hand-me-downs from families who didn't want them. So, in reading this mystery, I've learned a lot from the drove of dog show information blended into the mystery. It was interesting without being distracting. The mystery itself was pretty good, and although I did have it solved right away, I still enjoyed reading the storyline and enjoyed watching the lead protagonist's personal life take on some changes. Speaking of the of the protagonist, the lead characters of Melanie, Sam, Aunt Peg, and Davy are likable; their relationships are realistic without being silly or over sweet. The sub-characters aren't left out of the action either. Each has an essential part in the mystery, whether it's to add more suspicion or to become a suspect. I sincerely think Laurien Berenson's fans will enjoy the undemanding epic called Unleashed in the Melanie series.
If you enjoy barking up this type of mystery tree, then you may also enjoy some similar canine mysteries by Susan Conant, Melissa Cleary, Carol Lea Benjamin, and Leslie O'Kane.
Another dog-eat-dog mystery.......2000-12-04
Pop quiz time, everyone: what is more stressful than the prospect of having dinner with your fiance's ex-wife? Ask Melanie Travis, and she'll tell you the answer would be solving the woman's murder.
In this latest installment of the Melanie Travis mysteries, Laurien Berenson unleashes another engrossing story; this time the victim is the co-publisher of a new dog show gossip rag (the kind everybody in the community reads but won't admit to doing so). Melanie's involvement in solving the crime is requested by an unusual source, too -- her fiance Sam, whose opposition to this hobby has been more than vocal in past novels. That his ex-wife's death drives a wedge between the couple is an understatement, but Melanie can only hope the killer does not separate them permanently.
Depending on how attached you are to these characters, you may or may not like the ending of this one, however. I won't give it away, but I will say I was bummed at the outcome (not the mystery, but the personal subplot, you'll know when you get there). Since it will be a while until the next installment in this series, we'll have to wait and see if Melanie will be changing her last name.
Very Enjoyable.......2000-11-22
With each book, Laurien Berenson gets better and better. I thoroughly enjoyed her latest book, Unleashed. Her mysteries are good, but I really think I read her books for the extreme enjoyment I get from her descriptions of life with her son and Faith, the poodle. The behind scenes look at what goes on and into a dog show are fascinating. Though I didn't exactly like the ending of Unleashed (as those of you who have already read it will know what I mean), I am looking forward to her next book and hearing what life is going to be like with a 6 year old, a 2 year old poodle and 6 poodle puppies. If you love dogs, don't pass this wonderful author by.
Berenson's best work yet!!.......2000-09-18
Laurien Berenson has done it again by delivering us this absolutely delightful book. This fast paced and suspensful novel is full of twists and turns that will keep everyone guessing. Her down-to-earth writing style will also make you feel right at home. This is the seventh installment in the series,and her writing just keeps getting better and better. This book is a real winner and you won't regret reading it. Enjoy!

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful book.......2007-06-17
It is a very good book. It really speaks to me about my faith. I especially like the last few chapters of the book which talk about the foundation of our faith. The author pointed out that our faith should based on three things:
1. GOD's Perfect Love
2. GOD's Perfect Wisdom
3. GOD's Power
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling in their spiritual walk.
How Timely..........2000-04-07
I can't imagine any station in live that wouldn't be enhanced by reading and applying the paridigm shifts Ben Patterson leads us through in WAITING. Those who are barren couples, widows, and single mothers, people with chronic illness; or, like me, simply looking for career fullfillment & hoping to meet and marry a Godly spouse...the list goes on. WAITING speaks to us all, with an honest, sober clarity I've not seen in related works. It presents the scriptures on Job and Abraham in a fresh light, with provoking applications that touch our own daily struggles with tender care, yet leave us humbled. We are encouraged to turn our gaze to the magnitude of God and away from our own desires. If you wonder what is taking the Good Lord so long to attend to you, or if you know anyone who has been hurting for too long, this book will minister. (Other suggested titles: TURN IT TO GOLD, GOD CALLING, GOD IS ENOUGH, SAFER THAN A KNOWN WAY, SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY, PASSION AND PURITY)
Very helpful, not just pat "religious" answers.......1999-07-23
This book has meant a lot to me personally in the way the author gets right to the point: humility and hope. He brings to the old Bible stories a recognizable level of human struggling.
But I did take issue with two things. In an illustration, Mr. Patterson blithely mentions the 500 billion years of earth's history in a way that seems to dismiss Genesis chapters 1-11. He also speaks of Job as if the story occurred after Psalms and Proverbs were written, saying that Job's friends were only quoting Scripture and that Job could have read in his Bible the same views.
The points he was making were excellent, but getting the details correct does matter and did make me a bit suspicious of the rest of the book, so I needed to mention those two things, and that's why I only gave the book 4 stars.
Overall, I'm very thankful to Mr. Patterson for helping to renew my hope, and especially for the many philosophical references and the story about Einstein that really spoke to my circumstances. I really did need the message of this book.
This book has meant so much to me........1999-03-06
I have read this book at least five times and been involved in at least two study groups with this book. We shared this in my Sunday school class where many of us had lived through situations where we simply did not understand why God allowed the things he did. For one, it was the death of her two year old brother and the bitterness of her father. For me, it was the cancer and painful death of one of the best men I have ever known along with the death of my best friend's baby and her subsequent suicide. About a year after the study, a couple in our group lost their only child at age 15. We gathered around them to grieve, but with a difference. We had learned something about how to wait on God. This couple now has a beautiful adopted son. I understand, in part because of this book, that we don't need to understand the why if we know the who.

Encouraging?.......2007-06-12
I hate this book. I am being treated for cancer and I received this from a fellow Christian to encourage me.
Beautiful cover, lush photos, nice paper and words inside that basically say, "God's in control, you have nerve to question your situation, so suck it up". I almost felt like I was being scolded for not cheerfully accepting my fate. Very surface level stuff - nothing doctrinally deep at all. And unless you have read the book of Job or were familiar with scripture (Paul's story especially) there is nothing to really relate to in this book.
I would never give this book to an unbeliever because they would walk away feeling like they were nothing more than a pawn in some cosmic game. I have received much better devotionals devoted to getting me through this hard time with faith and hope - this book bolstered neither.
Book Description

A word diet based on silence!.......2007-03-18
Barbara Brown Taylor demonstrates her craft as a preacher so effectively that she has earned the title of one of America's best. In her book When God is Silent, Barbara brings to light the difficulty many that preach face as they approach the Biblical text and message. In forthright honesty she gives expression to areas that both teach and frighten a preacher when they are preparing a homily: famine, silence, and restraint.
Taylor speaks to a culture that has become accustomed to its throwaway lifestyle. Words are disposable. With so many words now being assimilated into the English language, our minds are over satiated. This rich diet of fast food newsprint, magazine gluttony, and a blitzkrieg of entertainment television has numbed the ability of words to move and stir our being. In the midst of abundance, we are in a state of famine--a famine that is silent.
What do we do when we don't hear the voice of God? Taylor paints a picture of a God who has grown silent in order that we may pay attention. The canvas of silence is one we avoid with all our might. Upon the canvas, the colors are vivid primary tones that our culture tries to dull with noise and activity. Her point is well taken...God is not really silent, people have just muted God out. But she warns preachers to be wary of using too much language to fill voids of silence, for silence is the antacid to settle our indigestion caused by over feeding on our vernacular.
What Taylor does best, is allow the reader to reflect on whose word is being proclaimed on Sundays. She uses the old adage of `less is more' to articulate that holding back on word usage allows for the silence to speak, almost like a ray of sunlight peaking through a cloud covered sky. Recognize our loss by over using words and restrain ourselves from saying too much. Let silence speak, for it has more profound things to say than any preacher can. Using vivid imagery, she gives sound advice to all who step into the pulpit to proclaim the good news. Sometimes, what you don't say or leave unsaid speaks louder and lasts longer. After all, its God's good news for us, not our good news for ourselves.
The Dilemma of God's Silence.......2005-05-07
In this book of lectures delivered at Yale Divinity School, Taylor states that the task of a preacher is not to give answers or advice but to "usher people into the presence of God who may or may not answer." She states if we have a God who always speaks, who's never absent or silent, perhaps we are worshipping or speaking to an imaginary God. "Only an idol always answers," she writes.
Taylor urges preachers not to cover for God's silence with numerous words but rather to employ a language that uses economy, courtesy, and reverence. "In a word-clogged world," she writes, "the only words that stand a chance of getting people's attention are simple, honest words that come from everyday life."
Taylor is unafraid to plunge into the mystery and dilemma of God's silence. Her reflections offer insight and guidance, not only to preachers but also to anyone who has struggled with unanswered prayer and the absence of a speaking God.
A Wordsmith at her best.......2005-03-17
It is not surprising that in Barbara Brown Taylor' When God is Silent, the genuine wordsmith focuses on the life and power of words both when they are used and when they are not. When God is Silent comes from the 1997 Lyman Beecher Lectures delivered at Yale Divinity School.
Taylor shares the idea that we are living in a world, in a culture that not only has an increase in the number of words in our language, but it appears that we have grown away from a point where the words had meaning. In the first section of the book entitled "Famine" she enables the reader to recognize the need and desire that we have for words with substance. She suggests that our words are under attack, stripped by the monsters of consumerism and journalism.
In the second section "Silence," Taylor lifts up the scriptural references to the silence God has shared as well as those in Jesus' life. It is in this silence that true power exists. The example of the silence present in the story of Abraham binding Isaac is amazing. Not only were those in the story silent but I think each of us that reads the story for the first, tenth or one hundredth time is struck by our own silence as the knife is lifted in the air.
The third section takes the God given silence and instructs us in what way we are to deal with it. How do we honor God's silence? How do we respect those we are preaching to in regard to this silence?
Through this brief book, this threefold lecture series, those clergy, seminarians, lay folk and professors present at the lecture as well as those of us who read it, Barbara Brown Taylor is able to convey her outstanding work as a modern-day wordsmith to us.
But sometimes, He is NOT SILENT.......2004-08-06
This book is composed of three lectures Barbara Taylor gave at Yale University under the generous support of the Lyman Beecher Lectures. It's always fun to see who gets to be picked by the committee and each time they roll around with the announcement, it is always a delightful surprise. No more so than in the case of Ms. Taylor, who has been an inspiring speaker for many years with speaking engagements in many places of worship from here to Hattiesburg and back.
In these lectures, which are, after all, aimed toward her fellow practitioners, she asks us, what happens when the words dry up and when God seems to turn His face away from the mess that we humans have made of our world? What does the preacher, a man or woman who depends on His word in the original sense of the word "depends" (i.e., hanging from, like a pearl earring hanging from the girl in Vermeer's painting) what does the preacher do to be able to give something to the folk assembled to hear him -- or her of course? Is there a recourse in silence, or music? In Lecture II all of these elements come together and Ms. Taylor really starts to (to use the lingo of jazz which she loves) "cook." And she doesn't turn off the heat until she's out of the kitchen! Now, sometimes God is silent, or SEEMS to be, but happily, usually He is NOT SILENT.
Powerful.......2003-08-06
A powerful collection of three sermons directed at current and future pastors, Taylor discusses the role of a pastor in the church and society. She accurately describes the hot oil feeling of interpreting the Word of God for receptive and unreceptive ears. And she details the awkwardness of that relationship when the pastor feels the well of communication has dried. A must read for anyone who preaches or seeks a conversational relationship with God.
Book Description
Secret Sin: When God's People Choose Abortion was written because abortion is one of the last great secret sins that remains ?in the closet.? And because the Church hasn?t been aware of the magnitude of this secret sin or how it affects those it touches, the Church has done little or nothing to help these people suffering silently in their midst to find healing in Christ. This book was written to pull back the curtain giving those within the Church an inside look into the world of the post-abortive Christian with the intent of spurring them on to begin reaching out to these hurting people with the compassion of Christ.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointed.......2007-10-06
I volunteer at a Christian-based Pregnancy Support Center so the title of this book caught my eye. It is a quick read and contains some interesting and useful statistics. However, I found myself skipping over several sections because the same info was repeated, just in a different format. This is definitely a topic that warrants attention but this book didn't offer enough substance for me in relation to the money I spent.
Compassionate call for the Church to wake up and smell the coffee.......2006-11-12
"Secret Sin" is a fast read that packs a punch in the face of the Church's last taboo, reaching out to the post-abortive women and men in their midst. Sitting in the pews Sunday after Sunday are a huge number of people who have been affected by abortion. Yet as a pastor of a large mainstream denomination told me, "You'd be hard pressed to find many people in the church who are compassionate towards those who have had abortions". And that's just a shame.
As you can see by my name, I may be somewhat biased in writing this review. Yet I assure you that no such bias exists. Mary has done a tremendous job of writing a book that handles the issue both passionately and with great delicacy. Rather than being a political call to action, she takes great pains to state that while she is obviously pro-life, her direct mission is not to save babies... but rather to bring awareness to the church that the post-abortive can also receive the love of Jesus Christ to transform their lives and turn their pain into promise. It is about offering love and forgiveness to those who have chosen to abort.
Making the case that abortion actually causes far more long-term problems than it solves, we discover that no less than one in three women in the church have had at least one abortion. And many of the problems that women face, such as eating disorders, drug and alcohol dependency, relationship problems and suicide actually stem from a past abortion.
The pro-life movement has spent the last 40+ years focusing on the lives of the babies that are lost, while neglecting the victims who continue to walk amongst us all... and in great numbers. The author contends that by making the Church a safe place for the post-abortive to find healing, it is the voices of those who have received this healing that will mount in number and be able to state boldly and without shame, "abortion hurt me". And when the voices begin to be heard, then and only then will the abortion holocaust become a thing of the past.
It is time for Pastors and layleaders to step up and open their hearts to those who are suffering from their choice to abort. It is time for the Church to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, just as he would do were he physically walking amongst the post-abortive in our churches today.
Kudos to Mary for writing this important book which I believe will be a groundbreaking effort towards bringing healing to the hurting and turning the tide of abortion in our culture.

Legend has it, there was a time when Magic was real-when dragons roamed the earth and wizards wove spells of healing and legerdemain. But, for reasons lost in the mists of history, the enchantment vanished. And now, Magic is but a myth.
But Hulhc, a lowly farmer, has discovered his long-dead father's journal of wizardry. And Hulhc believes Magic still exists. He must find the absent power, for only a true miracle will save his beloved dying wife.

My first but not my last Lindskold.......2003-11-19
Someone handed me this book telling me in that time-honored reader manner "You must read this." I looked at the back. Ok... no magic, farmer, carnival, warriors. Has potential on the "this hasn't been done much before" scale. I opened it. I have to admit that it took a bit of getting into. I am so trained to read the pap that is out there as fantasy these days that my brain had to shift into the intelligent gear. You need to think to read her work.
And then I was lost. Wandering the roads with the hero. Wondering just who Rabble could be (I never guessed the ending so so much for predictable endings). This book did more than just offer a good read. It built a world I could easily live and breathe in. Each time I opened the pages I stepped into the world of Lindskold's making.
This book landed on my keeper shelf. I had to return the lent copy but bought myself my own copy as soon as I could. Now I am reading the Wolf-Girl trilogy. Wow. Ms. Lindskold, your talent is amazing. Thank you for writing.
Great Book.......2003-09-25
This is my first Jane Lindskold but if I can find anything else by her by trollowing the used book stores it will not be my last.
This book has a very interesting permise . Unlike other books of its type where magic either permiates everything(or never existed in the first place) majic has been lost here.
A lone farmer gets together with 2 warriors and a travleing crarnival to find out what in the hell went wrong.
My impression-This book was definatly above average but it suffers from the curse of most fantastical books a sappy ending.
The set up is great and the charecters particularly Rable was wonderful but the end result leaves you feeling somewhat confussed. Still I enjoyed the book to much for that to take away from my overall positive experience.
If you can find tis either on Amazon or baring that a secound hand book store i would highly recommend it.
Jane Lindskold is five star material.......1999-11-30
I first discovered Jane Lindskold when I read Changer and have since read all of her books currently available. Most recently I read When The Gods Were Silent and now believe that this is her best book. Her ability to create Rabble as a true and beleivable character and then turn her into a diety/tool is most believable. I especially enjoyed her portrayal of men and women as equal and bad men as corrupt without the need to corrupt women to justify it. Rabble is a most unique warrior and Byrax is her equal. I look forward to more from this very talented writer.
A Good Book with a Hurried Ending.......1997-08-07
I eagerly await each Jane Lindskold novel. "When the Gods are Silent" was well-written with strong, unique characters. This book started out very well--the mystery surrounding the woman warrior Rabble's origins was intriguing--but the story seemed to fall into predictability about two-thirds of the way along and then rushed to an unsatisfying ending.
Lindskold is good writer. "Brothers to Dragons, Companions to Owls" is a delightful book, finely crafted and highly original. "When the Gods Are Silent" had a flavor of a book hurried into existence in order to publish. I'd like to see Lindskold take a deep breath, relax, and not rush her muse.

When the Gods are Silent, revisiting an old friend........2005-07-28
My copy was brought in 1969 and is ragged with wear. I had previously dipped into it but had never read it from cover to cover. Upon the advice of a respected theological friend I stared and found it difficult. But persistence with this book will yield great rewards. Miskotte belongs to the post liberals before that was a common term in theology. His insights are mostly from the Old Testament and reading it one could easily be reading the latest book from Hauerwas. He quotes Barth extensively, another post liberal before his time. I recomend this book as a theological knife cutting through the mistakes and dead ends of our day.
Book Description
Ana was abandoned into the Romanian orphanage system as an infant. Her life was dramaticly impacted by an injection of blood that was contaminated with HIV. Ana's Voice is the inspirational story of her rescue and the power of faith. Her life story is interwoven with personal experience, Romanian history, and poetry that was inspired by her life. This is the story of how one silent and forgotten child can change the world.
Book Description
As Christians, many of us experience times in our spiritual lives when it feels like God is silent. For reasons we don't understand, we're unable to sense His presence, feel His comfort, or hear His direction. And although we may be following Him as best we know, our spiritual lives feel dry and He seems more distant than ever.
In Silent God, Joseph Bentz addresses the pain and bewilderment many feel when they can't hear God's voice. He examines the possible influences that can unknowingly invade our lives and block our ability to hear God. Television, radio, iPods, cell phones, internet, email, traffic, and crowded schedules contribute to our noisy world. Every moment is bombarded by noise, both external and mental, that clutters our thoughts and causes us to lose the ability or desire to settle down and really commune with and listen to God. Bentz explains how the accumulation of all this noise can contribute to God's silence in our lives and shares valuable and practical ways to control the noise so we can hear God once again. He also explores ways God may use silence as a means of working out His spiritual purposes in our lives. Bentz shows how sometimes our spiritual routines become spiritual comforts that, instead of pointing us to God, end up replacing Him. He offers insight and understanding for persevering through the silence and reassures us that doing so will result in essential spiritual growth and a deeper commitment to Christ.
Silent God reveals a new understanding of the mystery and power of God and shows how to find Him through the silence and emerge with a greater sense of purpose and a deeper connection with Christ and His love.
