Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
Marcus Luttrell
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Could not put it down
+ Amazing book!
+ Great book by a Great American
The thing is about liberals, who write reviews like those seen here, they never even buy the book or read it. They thumb through the book that they checked out from the library, never read it in its entirety, but maybe skim through it, they then try to make people believe they are writing some ...

This story shares a tale about life and death--real life and real death. Make no mistake, you know how this ends. But it's not the ending--it's the journey. It's about the people left behind, and the effect one soul can have when paths cross on the street called life.

90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life
Don Piper, Cecil Murphey
Revell, 2004
90 minutes in heaven
+ A True Inspiration
+ Moving but not a treatise on Heaven
I found Don's book very rivoting. A similar thing happened to me and truly know what he went through. What bothered me was the editing sloppyness, where sentances were broken up badly, and few new sentances began with a capital letter. I'm detail oriented and wanted to find a way to make the ...
