A Tremendous Book.......2003-01-11

Gindlesperger has done a tremendous job of recreating the exciting Civil War escape of 109 Union officers from Richmond's notorious Libby Prison. His book is carefully researched and skillfully written. Another reviewer criticized Gindlesperger's use of dialogue. However, I felt that the dialogue was essential to the book. Since I am a historian and writer myself, I was acutely conscious of the difficulties of trying to portray life in Libby prison. The lives and activities of the captured Union officers were so circumscribed that the book couldn't be all action and adventure. Yet given the limitations of the subject, Gindlesperger has created character and drama through dialogue while telling an intriguing tale. My only criticism of the book, and it is a small one, is that I would have liked the extensive bibliography to have separated the primary and secondary sources.

Outstanding!.......2001-03-29

While the gentleman from California is entitled to his opinion, I personally fine myself to be his polar opposite. I thought this book was an outstanding portrayal of conditions at the time of the escape. I have lived in Virginia all my life, and I can assure the Californian that y'all is used both in the singular and plural. If y'all don't believe me, come to Virginia and listen to people ask if y'all had a good trip, or if y'all want another cup of coffee in a restaurant. I found the dialogue to be highly accurate. As for discussing northern prisons, why should that even come up when the story is about an escape from a southern prison. I didn't think Gindelsberger made any apologies or excuses for any of the northern prisons the Californian mentioned. Overall, I think the book was extremely well researched, well written, and from all the reviews I've read (except Mr. California's) well received by historians and the general public.

Outstanding!.......2001-03-29

Not well written, and limited in research.......2001-03-27

This book contains what seems like an accurate, detailed fictional portrayal of escape attempts from Libby Prison in Richmond during the Civil War. But the book isn't well written and the main culprit is the dialogue. Every character speaks in ridiculously thick, phonetically spelled dialect. All the Southerners talk in the most stereotypical way imaginable. The author's presentation of the horrors of Libby Prison, while eschewing any discussion of the equally awful conditions faced by Southerners in the North, gives a feeling of unreliability to the novel's status as well-researched historical fiction. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this.

Outstanding Work!.......2000-04-07

Picked up both of the author's books at a symposium afterhearing him speak. His talk was great, but didn't (or couldn't?) dothis book justice. The further I read the more I wanted to read. I hated to put the book down to go to eat, and those who know me know how much I enjoy eating! It is one of the best and most readable books I have in my collection, and I can't wait for the movie to come out. Thanks, Mr. Gindelsberger, for writing this outstanding book.

What a great read!.......2007-07-25

I took it on vacation with me and I couldn't put it down. A great book for aspiring athletes and coaches as well as your average Joe who works 9-5. The coaches discuss a variety of topics from their childhood to how they motivate their players. Any easy read for all ages.

Game of life.......2007-07-24

I've read through Game of Life and I enjoyed it very much. There are so many things to take from this book, not just into sports, but also some reflections on life. I would recommend this book to everybody.

Coaching advise from athletic coaches.......2007-06-27

A fun read, especially if yoiu're a sports fan. I read it in search of things that would help my own ability as a coach in my company. Much of it is light stuff but the easy read makes it fun nonetheless and there are few golden nuggets laced throughout the book.

Overcome Adversity.......2007-04-12

Anyone looking for inspiration, either for their own life or to share with others, will find a gold mine of quotes here. This book isn't just for sports fans.

You can imagine how their eyes grow round when Ayya Khema's students are treated to tidbits of her life. "There was that time with the anaconda in Brazil.... We crashed on a cliffside Himalayan road on our way to meet the mir of Hunza.... Torched by rebels, and I had to decide what to do with my nuns on our island..." Of course, her students badger her to write a book. The Jewish/German refugee, California housewife, Australian farmer, global nomad, and Buddhist nun comes through with a quiet, methodical story, that, if written in any other way, would seem more hyperbole than biography.

At the age of 55, when most people are mulling how many tulip bulbs to plant for next spring, Ayya Khema took Buddhist vows. She then established three monasteries, arranged Buddhist women's conferences, and gave teachings on a lost meditation technique at venues around the world. And that's only the second half of the book. With 25 titles to her credit and an established reputation, Ayya Khema hardly needed more publicity. Fortunately, she gave in to her students' goading, offering not only a fast-paced story but a model of freedom, energy, and accomplishment. --Brian Bruya

Book Description

Ayya Khema (1923-1997) was the first Western woman to become a Theravadan Buddhist nun. As such, she has served as a model and inspiration for women from all the Buddhist traditions who have sought to revive the practice of women's monasticism in modern times. Though her renown as a teacher is widespread, few know the truly amazing details of her life before her monastic ordination at the age of fifty-eight. And what a life it was. Born Ilse Kussel in Berlin, Germany, she grew up in a prosperous Jewish family that was broken up by Nazi terror in 1938. The story of her escape alone to Scotland, and her journey to rejoin her family in China, would be enough for a thrilling adventure novel in itself—but it is only the beginning of the story. Her later adventures included—but were not limited to—surviving the Japanese invasion of China; living the life of a suburban housewife in Los Angeles, California; journeying up the Amazon; studying in a Bolivian university; building a power plant in Pakistan; and establishing the first organic farm in Australia. Her Buddhist practice was a result of a pursuit of the spiritual life that began in her forties when she encountered spiritual teachers in India. She eventually founded a monastery in Sri Lanka, from where, through her books and her teaching travels, she became one of the most widely respected of contemporary teachers, particularly skilled in interpreting the Buddhist teachings for her fellow Westerners.

Ayya Khema in a different light.......2007-06-10

I have read all of Ayya Khemas other books and many of her Dhamma talks on Buddhanet.net but this book is written from the heart of Ayya Khema descibing her and her family's incredible journey from Nazi Germany to Shanghai, to US then to South America and finally her journey to the far east and back to Germany where she established Buddha Haus. This is such a well written book that I simply could not put it down and felt her genuine sense wanting to give us her life on every page. I felt connected to sister Khema from the first to last page. I highly recommend it. Floyd in Idaho

Interesting Life, Interesting Death.......2005-07-10

Ilse Kussel's, life covers over half of this autobiographical book, the remainder is the life of Ayya Khema; both lives are well worth reading.

The 'death' of Ilse (and the birth of Ayya Khema and the love for the children) is connected with letting go of her two children. She writes beautifully:

"My love for them did not depend on their being alive; on their living the way I wanted them to; on from their side, feeling connected to me, on their being grateful to me, or on their being 'well-behaved'. All that no longer mattered."

This for me is the highlight in the book; what follows in the life of Ayya with her teaching and with the establishment of various monasteries and centres was made possible by this kind of detatchment.

From Ilse Kussel to Ayya Khema.......2004-06-09

Ayya Khema (1923-1997)played an important role in the ongoing revival of Western interest in Buddhism. Her autobiography "I give you my Life" (1997), completed just before her death, tells the story of the development of her commitment to Buddhism and spirituality and of her decision at age 55 to become a Buddhist nun. Each chapter in her brief book is introduced by a verse from the Dhammapada, a seminal Buddhist scriptural text consisting of short poems, which illuminates in a telling way the portion of her life under discussion.

Ayya Khema ("Ayya" is an honorific title for Buddhist nuns while "Khema" was the name of a nun during the Buddha's lifetime) was born Ilse Kussel in 1923 in Berlin to a prosperous, assimilated Jewish family. The family fled Germany before the Holocaust and Ilse, as a teenager, travelled by steamer to Glasgow, Scotland before joining her family shortly thereafter in Shanghai. She married in her late teens and travelled to California with her husband where she worked in a bank, had two children, and appeared settled into an American middle-class life. As a result, she tells us, of a deepening sense of spiritual unrest, she divorced her husband and married a childhood acquaintance named Gerd, whose family had also fled the Holocaust. She and Gern lived a wandering type of life in South America and Asia, where her husband was an engineer. The couple ultimately settled in Australia, bought a farm and raised shetland ponies. This marriage too ended with Ilse's, continued search for spiritual wisdom and her growing interest in meditation. Ilse became a Buddhist nun at the age of 55, helped establish three Buddhist convents in Sri Lanka, Australia, and Germany, became a meditation master, worked ceaselessly to revive the Buddhist order of nuns, and wrote prolifically about Buddhism.

Ayya Khema lived an inspiring and full life on many levels and she tells her story well. Apart from her decision to become a nun, I learned a great deal from her willingness to make a radical change in mid-life. It is important to see how people may change and develop throughout their lives, and I was moved to see this realized in Ayya Khema's story.

In many ways, Ayya Khema's autobiography radiates sincerity and purpose and fulfills its goal of speaking directly to the reader. This is especially true in her introduction and in the sections of her book following her ordination where she explains what the Buddhist path has meant to her. The final pages of the book, written when Ayya Khema knew she would soon die, have a rare immediacy and poignancy.

Most autobiographies conceal as much about their subject as they reveal, and Ayya Khema's autobiography is no exception. The book gives a good picture of the externals of Ilse Kussel's life but, I thought, too little of what was going on inside. I found myself wanting to know more about Ilse's two marriages and the reasons for their failures. There is a brief discussion of Ilse's attempt to recover her spirituality through Judaism, and I would have liked to hear more. Beyond references to the suffering of life and to the inevitability of change, I would have liked more detail of Ilse's early study of spiritual texts. And I would have liked more details on the course she pursued during her meditation retreats and on what it was she learned from the Indian and Buddhist masters she reveres as her teachers.

This autobiography shows effectively Ilse Kussel's transformation into Ayya Khema. It shows what was important to Ayya Khema when she became a nun and how she worked to realize herself as a Buddhist nun. We see Ilse Kussel/Ayya Khema througout her life as an intelligent strong-willed and determined woman. I still do not fully understand, after reading this inspiring story, the internal process by which Isle Kussel became transformed into Ayya Khema.

inspirational.......2002-01-11

i've read some of her other instructional books and have always found them to be very helpful . that sort of piqued my interest in the person itself , which is why i bought this book .

i hadn't quite expected to read about someone with such a florid history . i half expected her to be someone with a dreary life bordering on the mundane . she's really compressed a great deal into that life of hers .

more importantly , she speaks of herself in a matter of fact manner . it is this detached manner that i found enlightening . i recommend this book to others because i think its inspirational . which one of us doesn't need some inspiration every now and then .

From second world war horrors to buddhist peace........2001-04-15

Easy to read and clearly written autobiography of a woman, who's life led here from nazi prosecution during the second world war through many intermediate states to finally becoming a buddhist nun of theravada buddhism. The english translation of the german original does not seem (to me) to be as good as it could be, but this should not be a reason not to read it. One might like to know, that half of the book describes Khema's regular life and that spiritual features are only showing up rather late. After she described so many details of her regular life, I was missing more information about her spiritual struggles after she became buddhist up to the point when she gained deeper meditative insights. The entire story is written from a very detached point of view. Maybe a buddhist ideal, but rather caused by Khema's experiences during the war. Nevertheless, the book is a great reading and one learns a lot about her times, herself and how a spiritual life can turn regular life upside down.

Book Description

Hundreds of well-known and well-respected individuals across the country and across the globe received a letter from Reverend Gaddy that began simply: I am writing to ask you for one word.

The word could be a proper name or a common term, religious or profane, professional in nature or personal. It could be a favorite expression, one that shaped or described their lives, or one that they wanted to address to other people.

Former United States Presidents Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford, Coretta Scott King, the late Mother Teresa, and Desmond Tutu are just some of many who sent an enthusiastic response to the letter, offering "their most personal gift." Maya Angelou gave the word "courage." Bill Moyers sent the word "onomatopoeia." Julie Andrews offered the word "think." From Studs Terkel came the word "survive." Alice Walker passed along the word "believe." As each of them share their favorite word, they offer a glimpse into their characters, values, priorities, thoughts, hopes, and interests.

The idea for this book came years ago when Reverend Gaddy-minister, author, and executive of a non-profit organization-heard a story about a man's prized visit with a famous author. After and extended conversation, seeking a keepsake of their time together, the visitor asked the author for the gift of a word, one of the author's favorite words. Awed by words and inspired But that incident, the Reverend began to view the gift of a word from another person as a real treasure.

Contributors to this collection of words and phrases represent a broad cross-section of the most prominent thinkers, dreamers, entertainers, shakers, shapers, and movers in contemporary society. Many spend their days in full view of the public's eyes. Several ply their trade through words. Others distinguish themselves by the decisions they make, actions they take, skills they perform, or offices they hold rather than by their words.

For those who seek inspiration from their personal heroes, to those who want to get to know these heroes a little better, to those who simply believe in the unending power of language, I Give You My Word is a book that will leave readers enlightened, enlivened, and speechless as they struggle to choose a word of their very own.

I have bought several copies of this book to give to family and friends. It makes a very good gift. It is the perfect coffee table book and sparks great conversation. Of course, I am prejudiced since I am a member of Dr. Gaddy's church. I do love this man and am proud to say that I know him. However, even if I did not know him I would still recommend this book.

Book Description

Do you really need to know if your daughter has tasted beer or your son has had his first kiss? Probably not.

Teens keep secrets. They need this privacy to resolve their own dilemmas, make their own decisions, and start down the road to becoming independent, responsible adults. Although parents can't (and shouldn't) know everything, they are right to worry about giving their children too much freedom, since teens can be attracted to dangerous behaviors.

Parenting teenagers means allowing them the freedom to explore, make mistakes, learn, and keep moving forward. Dr. Peter Sheras, an expert in adolescent development, has taught countless parents how to know when to step back, when to ask questions, and when to take definitive action. In I Can't Believe You Went Through My Stuff! he explains how pushing for information or attempting to keep teens confined in too small a box will undoubtedly result in anger, resentment, and worst of all a penchant for trouble.

The book includes solid, practical advice on:

How you can learn more about your teenager's life without invading his privacy or losing her trust
How to start a conversation when your teen won't talk
What to do about lying, whether it's infrequent or often
How to discuss family rules and establish consequences that really work
How to tell if your teen needs professional help and where to find it

I Can't Believe You Went Through My Stuff! will give you the key to keeping your teenager safe while building a trusting, warm, and communicative relationship.
