Original Sinners: Why Genesis Still Matters, by John R. Coats. A fascinating look at Genesis, the first book in the Bible. John R. Coats weaves personal stories with scholarly analysis to bring a fresh view to this much studied account of the creation of the Universe and the dawn of man. This book is highly entertaining even as it teaches lessons relevant to both the individual in particular and society in general. Those insisting on a literal interpretation of the Bible will find it challenging.

Global Warming, Really?, by Gregory E. Parker. Parker is dead on in his analysis of the global warming issue. He meddles in the science and finds it spurious. He weighs the leadership, and finds in hypocritical. He peruses the history and finds it repetitive. He seeks the reason for the perpetration of the global warming hoax and finds a money trail. This is an excellent review of the global warming debate. This slender volume with verve and a remarkable ability to get to the point.

Bank on Yourself, by Pamela Yellen goes into detail on how you can borrow money from yourself rather than the bank or the credit card companies to finance major purchases. Through a vehicle called a mutual whole life policy, equity built up in the cash value of an account can be accessed and used, even while the policy gets dividends on its full value. It sounds too good to be true, but Bank on Yourself illustrates clearly and logically, how this conservative investment can help provide for retirement even while enhancing your life-style now.

Liberty and Tyranny, a Conservative Manifesto, by Mark Levin. As usual, Mark Levin, in stark and direct terms lays out the essential conflict in modern America. He clearly illustrates that leftist, statist views as they are employed within the centers of power in Washington and within the media are having the effect of eroding American power, and ultimately degrading the possibility of affluence and freedom for the mass of Americans. Statism is a creed by which the elites believe that they can solve our problems better than we can ourselves. Yet in the main statist answers are so broad and oppressive that they have the opposite effect. An essential read for any one wanting to understand the vital issues facing the nation.

Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of U.S. Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan, by Doug Stanton. This is a fast paced narrative of the joint Afghan and American operation that drove the Taliban from Afghanistan. Stanton makes extensive use of primary sources to tell the story of how U.S. special forces in Afghanistan made use of laser technology transported over rugged terrain on horseback. His description of an Afghan cavalry charge, supported by smart bombs dropped from thousands of feet in the air, against entrenched Taliban forces is amazing. There are also fascinating passages dealing with the prisoner revolt at Qala-i-Janghi, as well as the experiences of the "American Taliban", John Walker Lindh. A great read for anyone looking for a modern true war story, or who wants to know what really happened during the early days of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan.
