This book changed my life. If you are a Christian of any age but particularly a Christian youth and you never read more than 2 books make it this one and the Bible.
One of the best parts of this book is that the author really believes what he wrote and lives it out.

An American father of 12 shares his views on learning and education. There are some good sections: he separates education from 'schooling' and talks of the importance of motivation and following children's interests. However there are also some strange (and sometimes irrelevant) biases in the book, such as his objection to Christian rock music and the television.
oc receives a call from an old medical school buddy, Jonathan Randolph. He visits and goes for a walk with his wife. They hear a shot. Much later, it turns out that they know the victim - another old friend. Smuggling & drugs and other interesting stuff - ends in Florida. Interesting - mentions Brady Coyne

Overall, I did like this book, but I felt the story was overwritten for what it was; a Sherlockian mystery with a gothic horror element that is unfortunately explained away at the end. It was sort of an anti-climax for me (not necessarily a bad thing but here it was a little disappointing). Would I recommend this one? I don’t know. I wasn’t mad that I read it. I wasn’t bored throughout the whole thing. Well, if you feel the need for a Sherlock Holmes story, I guess this could scratch that itch.… (mehr)
