young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle., 0, Puffin Books, 2003.

Ltd., 2014. 3 MIXED UP MEN is a lighthearted look at how men bond and how men think, their take on love, and how they behave and misbehave.Raghu, Govind and Dinesh are close friends. The three have been thick buddies from their college days. Raghu and Govind have been best friends since school, their friendship going back twenty years.Now in their early thirties, Raghu and Govind together own and operate an internet advertising agency. Dinesh is a rapidly rising star in an international accounting firm and the only one of the trio who is married and a father.When his best friend Govind announces he's getting married, Raghu is genuinely shocked. How can Govind have fallen for the manipulative Anamika - someone whose favorite book is surely 'cheque'? Raghu is convinced Anamika is marrying his closest friend only for his money, and that love had nothing to do with her attraction for him. The trouble is, nobody else, not even Dinesh, agrees. Raghu takes it upon himself to break up the engagement. But he has only six weeks in which to expose Anamika, and runs a great risk of losing Govind's friendship in the process. In the meantime, the happily married Dinesh attends an office conference in Thailand - and even more happily succumbs to the many sexual temptations on offer in Bangkok and elsewhere, after business hours. The backlash threatens his marriage, his family life, his career and his peace of mind. Will his friends Raghu and Govind be able to extricate him from his self-created mess of titanic proportions? Back home in Gurgaon, Raghu's subtle - and not so subtle - attempts to derail Govind's wedding plans will have hilarious and unintended consequences. But amidst the comedy of errors, confusion and carnage which ensues in the run-up to the big day, the 'single-till-I-die' Casanova Raghu himself meets a girl called Nisha, who will change his notions of love - in fact his entire life - in ways he could never have expected..

NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 306pp. Hardback with DJ. First published in 1992, William Hauptman's first novel (and apparently the last, though we should all hope not) came and went rather quietly. I was absorbed right away with the fictional city of Nortex, with the Drennan family, and with the nearly intangible sense of dread and disillusionment set against the backdrop of the Reagan Eighties. At the heart of this big picture is Burl's quest for meaning, symbolized by his chasing tornadoes all across the Panhandle. Hauptman is definitely a writer's writer, which is not to say he's esoteric or intimidating; if anything his prose is as clear and accessible as water. Every so often I pick it up again and am rewarded for my faith, largely by passages like this one: "The storm towered over him, a sheer wall of marble sixty thousand feet high. He had to stare straight up to see the top, which was still in sunlight, a great ceiling of gold. As he watched, it faded to cream, to rose, to ice blue. The lower levels were lead gray. As it rolled away, the moon seemed to rise behind it. Suddenly, the whole storm was lit by one incredible flash of golden lightning. Burl held his breath, but heard nothing." Now if only Hauptman would give us more; fifteen years is a long wait., Bantam Books, 1992., 0, -: Flamingo, 2001. Paperback. Very Good. -. The astonishing Orange Prize-shortlisted debut from the author of `Flying Leap` and `Nice Big American Baby`. This is a truly strange and striking tale that begins in the deep, and deeply magical, European forest, in the world depicted in Chagall`s paintings and Grimms` Fairy Tales, and proceeds to tell the story of four generations of women from one fated family. Budnitz builds her book with wit and art somewhere in the gaps between magic realism, family saga and female bildungsroman. She marries great technical skill to quirky humour and dizzying metaphor. She has an uncanny knack for the destabilizing and indelible image, but does not abandon sense for sensibility. She is always readable, albeit strangely so. She might yet be an Americanized heir to the throne left vacant by Angela Carter., Flamingo, 2001, 3, UK: Puffin, 1972. First Thus . Soft cover. Very Good.

Very Good. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Fans of Trigiani's delightful trilogy (Big Cherry Holler; Big Stone Gap) will be sorry to part with Ave Maria MacChesney in this final installment. Readers who have followed Ave through her marriage at 35 to the rock-steady Jack, the death of her four-year-old son and all the ups and downs of family life will now witness her struggle to let go as she acknowledges her growing daughter's need for independence. In Ave's dealings with Etta as Etta changes from a stargazing 12-year-old tomboy to a strong-willed 18-year-old, the author reveals great insight into the minefield of mother-daughter relationships. Trigiani's unerring portrayal of the singular personalities that make up the small southwest Virginia town-the lively Iva Lou, Ave's best friend; gossipy Fleeta, who works at the Mutual Pharmacy with Ave; the town's Rock of Gibraltar, Spec Broadwater-brings humor and poignancy to Ave's richly drawn life in Big Stone Gap. Equally compelling are the scenes in Italy, when the three MacChesneys and Iva Lou visit Ave's birthplace and spend time with her Italian family. The folksy dialogue and unabashed sentimentalism can be cloying, but Ave's astringent insights and critical self-appraisal sharpen the tale. And as always, it is the day-to-day details of life in the charming backwater town of Big Stone Gap (including a recipe for "Chocolate Coca-Cola Cake") that make the story shine., Ballantine Books, 2003, 3, Headline Books, 2005.
