A Wonderful Must Read Christian Book

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Dr. Paul C. Woodward writes

The Story of Kalev: The Sons of Hezron 

This is an extraordinary, biblically based journey into the lives of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt, during and after the Ten Plagues. Using the Scriptures from the second book of Moses, The Exodus, as the framework, this book brings to life the greatest mass rescue mission in human history. This adventure shines a “too revealing” spotlight on the lives of Kalev (Caleb), Hoshe’a (Joshua) and Moshe (Moses). You will relate to the hopes, fears, maladies and maybe even their character flaws. They were simply normal people trying to survive horrendous circumstances. A damaged and broken Hebrew race that the all-powerful Yahweh (God Is) chose to call His own. 

This novel reminds us all, that ordinary people like us can overcome and do miraculous things through God, and for His purposes. 

Inspiring, full of scriptural architecture, the unknowing and woefully unprepared, Kalev blindly charged into a covert world of orphaned children turned to lethal guerrillas. Literally behind enemy lines, the very reluctant General Kalev joined his mother and brother in the seemingly impossible task of rescuing, training, providing for and leading, a partisan army of thousands of orphaned and abused children. And doing it all, right under the noses of one of the most evil empires in history.  

Captivating! This book is the first in the series, True to Yahweh. General: The Story of Kalev: The Son of Hezron, reveals the deplorable and often fatal conditions of a Hebrew slave in Egypt. This biblically based narrative, “puts skin on” the broken people of the Exodus. 

On the same day, all the water in Egypt turned to blood, you’ll be Introduced to the main characters, Kalev (Caleb), Hoshe’a (Joshua) and eventually Kalev’s most hated foe, the ex-prince Moshe (Moses). The novel sheds light on the once, woefully silent God of their forefathers. Dr, Woodward earned a PhD. in Theological studies from Logos University. His keen biblical accuracy, brilliant description, and wonderful character development, offers readers an HD, first person point of view of the wonderous displays of God’s Mighty Hand. 

For those that enjoy novels, but want them to adhere to biblical truth, this novel and series comes highly recommended.

Insightful! This novel is a triumphant look into God’s personable nature, revealing His attributes as our kind, merciful, patient and even hilarious Creator. It also peals back the curtain and reveals another facet of God’s personality– that of a Warrior King, and as the author put’s it, “the quintessential Mother Bear!” Readers will relish in Yahweh’s unique and very personal relationships. This book celebrates The God who created humour. He actually laughs and playfully teasing the ones He’s “especially fond of.”.

Describing what life was like in those ancient days, this book brings to life the lives of Kalev (Caleb), Hoshe’a (Joshua), and their family. Intertwining a fast-paced read that involves an orphan army raised by the brothers and their mother. Triumphs, sorrows, romance and the like, explode into their world as they weigh the humbling and very dangerous possibilities of truly following our Yeshua (deliverer). Escaping Pharaoh's armies, only 1/3 of all the Hebrew slaves chose to “blindly trust” their previously silent, and possibly powerless God Yahweh. Eventually, the highly trained orphan Army is joined by thousands of emotionally scarred, and broken Hebrew families as they fearfully, yet bravely gather in the no-man’s land of the bleak Egyptian Desert.

A highly recommended entertaining Biblically based read! You may get your copy of General: The Story of Kalev: The Sons of Herzon at Amazon and in Kindle.

CBM Book Review - Why Bad Things Happen in Your Game of Life

Title: Why Bad Things Happen in Your Game of Life: 

Since You’re in the Game, Play to Win!

By: Harry E. Hubbard

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Why do bad things happen to good people? That is the ultimate question. Most will end up blaming God the author states. However, this incredible book offers immense hope and points readers to Jesus Christ. Designed as a video game the author describes the two entities at war (good vs. evil) from a Biblical viewpoint. In a video game there are two opposing teams, rounds, levels and rules. 

With this analogy, Harry E. Hubbard, explains to readers that life also has opposing teams and rules. Know the rules, check the Creator’s Manual (the Bible) and you can make the right choices. Why Bad Things Happen in Your Game of Life is an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand book that presents great Biblical truths in a fun and interesting manner. Reaching generations of youth and adults alike, this book will encourage and inspire one to win at the game we call - life. Do not miss this book! 

The author offers an introduction presenting an overview of the spiritual realm that controls the battles that we do not see. The physical world and the world system collide on a spiritual plane one might not be aware of and you, dear reader, have spiritual weapons to fight this unseen fight that God has given you. Many Christians do not understand the fight, nor how to have victory in Christ. The author offers a deep understanding of the victory that is available. Further explaining the reality of life, he introduces the readers to deep doctrinal truths without overwhelming the reader. This is truly appreciated and a way to understand without reading theological books, which can be difficult. 

With such chapters as: The Game of Life, Life Perspectives, The Serpent’s Fall Guy, The Game Master is Not Powerless and so much more, this is a fascinating read! In today’s age of video games and cell phones, this is one of those books that will reach out to the generation of youth of today. 

What is appreciated the most about the book is a how to take back what you’ve lost in this life and to renew your mind in Christ. He writes from a place of compassion and he is well-seasoned in life’s experiences. He brings a balanced approach to Christian life principles that gives great hope to those who have been wounded within his book as well. 

*Additionally, many resources are included in the back if you need help, counseling, or resources to aid in your healing. 

“Winners don’t just wander over the finish line.” ~ A great quote from the Hubbard. 

A Must-Read and a wonderfully done book offering Biblical truths in an easy-to-read and applicable format!

Children's Inspirational Books - Wings and a Prayer

Title: Wings and a Prayer

By: Joe Rose

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0

Joe Rose, a talented artist and writer, presents an exciting and adventurous story of Blossom, the caterpillar who dreams of becoming a butterfly with beautiful wings. Blossom learns throughout the book, as she dreams of having wings that her transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly isn’t what she thought it would be. In her mind, things didn’t go as planned. She learns to put all her trust in the Lord and her best friend, Tyler, a branch spider, who knows all too well that Blossom needs much encouragement.

The story of Blossom’s metamorphosis from the cocoon to learning how to fly with the “unlikely” wings, can be humorous at times, as well as a colorful journey brings Blossom’s story to life. Children and adults alike will appreciate Blossom, Tyler, and her determination to have wings. In the end, Blossom learns God had a plan all along and that he blessed her with incredible talent to help others from her own experience.

Using this analogy of a butterfly and based on Jerimiah 17:7, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him,” ~ Author Joe Rose, speaks to small children (ages 6-8) teaching them to pray, rely and trust on the Lord, even when one doesn’t understand. God has His plan and works His best for us. Along the way, issues such as self-acceptance, determination, overcoming, and waiting on God’s perfect timing offering hope in alternative outcomes that shine through. God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28).  

This is a wonderfully expressive and artistic book that children will love and cherish. Parents will certainly want a copy to give to their children, or perhaps grandchildren. ~ A delightful read!

Additionally, this book makes a great gift for family, friends, loved ones, neighbors, and co-workers.

He Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother - Devotions With A Friend

Ken Tatum's 

Devotions With A Friend 

___________

The book is a 21-day daily devotional, stemming from Ken’s time hearing from God and his life experiences. I like that Ken shares the thoughts and expressions that God put on his heart in regards to each subject that he shares which includes a scripture verse, a daily devotional, and ends with a Prayer Emphasis. 

This 21-day devotional relates to subjects such as Grace, The Great Choreographer, Good King Bad King, Dry Bones: A Mystical Vision, Who is My Enemy and so much more which makes this an enjoyable book to sit down and read.  

Intriguing commentary, alongside sometimes humorous experiences, from the author that challenge, uplift, teach, exhort, and encourage. All his commentaries come from a life seeking God, and daily striving to hear and follow the commands of Jesus. Very nicely written.  

Reading Devotions from a Friend is similar to sitting down with a trusted friend and discussing various topics with a treasured friend over a cup of coffee or a meal. The author suggests making a routine out of sitting down and ingesting the Word of God, stating, “…remember, while scheduling time with God is a great spiritual discipline, the most important thing is that you spend time with Him.” I loved reading Devotions with a Friend,

Devotions With A Friend is available at Amazon and in Kindle

CBM Book Review - The Magnificent Jesus

Title: The Magnificent Jesus: Walking in Intimacy

By: Johan den Hartogh & Ken Gott

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

The Magnificent Jesus: Walking in Intimacy presents deep scriptural truths from the book of Revelation 1: 5-7. 

Designed to reflect each scripture verse and meaning - 10 powerful chapters offer an easy-to-read and understand format that consists of prayer, focus on the scripture verse, commentary, reflection notes by a leader in ministry, and your own notes, making the book an interactive journey into Scripture and application. This book is designed to elevate the reader into true intimacy with Christ while knowing Who Christ is in Heaven. 

The Introduction and tools on the “inner room” along with acronym tools such as A.R.K., make this book a discovery journey of how intimacy is fostered through authority, the power of the Holy Spirit, and prayer to facilitate tapping into the deep river of God, knowing Him intimately, and walking in your God-given authority as a Kingdom Priest, forgiven and washed in His Blood to overcome. 

Insights from authors and ministry leaders contribute to this book such as: Lou Engle, John Arnott, Duncan Smith, and many international leaders such as: Sarah Jane Biggart, Wes Hall, Franklyn Spence, Murray Heibert,  Steve Uppal, Dele Olowu, Dean Briggs & Carolyn Jones

Keep in mind this is the revelation from Jesus Christ given to John, his servant, by an angel that was sent to him while exiled on the island of Patmos. John testifies to the things he sees and hears, writing all down in the Word of God for us today. Understanding these truths from Scripture reveals to readers what Jesus has done for those who call upon His name and bring clarity, elevating each seeker to intimacy, authority, and power within the Word of God. 

The insight and knowledge from Scripture, alongside many who have served God as leaders and lovers of God, catapults readers into knowing their authority in Christ, as they drink deep from the river of God to spread the gospel message to others. 

A Must-Read for anyone desiring an intimate walk with Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords!

CBM Book Review - Biblical Psychology for End -Time Believers

Title: Biblical Psychology for End-Time Believers: 

Human Nature Revealed by God in Scripture

By: Dr. Don Ott

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0+

Human Nature…who can understand why a person does something or acts a certain way? Add the End-Times to the mix, secular psychologists can come up with a variety of syndromes, names, and factors. But what if there was something else…someone, like our Creator, who gave us the blueprint to gain wisdom and insight into human nature? The author gives an exemplary read that gives urgency in these End-Times to understand human nature. 

Dr. Don Ott explores past psychological history and offers an overview of when the shift came from Biblical to secular with writings. Within this, the understanding from the Bible, which was tossed aside by modern psychology in the late 19th century, reveals human nature, as given by God in Scripture! Designed with the End-Time believer in mind, his Introduction discusses this “crossroad” in secular psychology vs. Biblical psychology. 

Advocating a life in Christ and quoting 1 John 5:11-12, “God has given us eternal life, and this life in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life, whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” This understanding is that there is life only in Christ, available to all believers, as such this is a culmination of 18 months of “a labor of love” and developed from a lifetime in the field of psychology and ministry to the Lord. 

Each chapter takes a look at human nature from in 7 stages from the Bible: The created, corrupted, regulated, redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, and glorified. One then may ask, “What do those stages or categories mean?” Dr. Ott explains in his book with accuracy and an understanding of Scripture, psychology, alongside years in the field, the nature of man to shed light on each stage of human nature. This is key to understanding human nature at its core, Biblically.

This is a wonderful book that encompasses a true understanding of psychology from a Biblical perspective for the End-Time believer. I would recommend this book to all believers at this time, as we are in the end times! Dr. Ott has given such an understanding of the human soul and nature that cannot be overlooked, with also, the welcome advice of how to behave in a time “such as this.” 

Also, this book comes highly recommended to all those in leadership roles, in pastoral roles, and the congregation at large. An easy, fascinating and relevant read!

CBM Book Review - The Faithful: The Chronicles of Trinian

Title: The Faithful: The Chronicles of Trinian

By: Terrence L. Rotering

A CBM Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

The Faithful: The Chronicles of Trinian by Terrence L. Rotering is the first book in the series. 

This is an epic adventure into the heart of man and God’s plan. Offering a timeline beginning with the creation and the fall of man, this series presents the tale and saga of the Truth Keepers and a Great Awakening of the Faithful. The series presents three different ages of time. 

The Faithful begins with Abner, a faithful teacher of the Word who succumbs to temptations instigated from his own “flesh” and the spiritual realm. The author depicts how these fallen angels work amongst men to lead them into despair. Abner succumbs to such hopelessness spurned from a life void of love and admiration Abner thought he would have from his family, giving them his all and being a wonderful provider. Abner becomes aware that something was missing, being keenly aware of the isolation and depression that was “entombing” his heart. The author unfolds the battles we all face in our “flesh” as these weapons of the fallen angels are perpetrated upon mere men. 

Rotering is an excellent writer, offering a novel that parallels the story of salvation, regeneration, and sanctification through the characters, showing us that God’s ways are the best and His path is the only way to life, life everlasting. Ever defining that man’s ways, thoughts, and desires are futile. Loving God first is a resounding theme.

However, demons sent from Lucifer often prey upon weak humans with thoughts of power and use such weapons as loneliness, lust, self-pity, temptation to sin, bitterness, anger, selfishness, etc., to catch their prey. Darkness (the demons) were ever so happy to fill the void in men’s hearts with things that would lead them on the wrong path – the path to destruction. 

Fascinating, the author weaves Scripture, Biblical truth, justice, and a Savior who bought redemption for all those who are willing to turn to Him in repentance. An exciting epic journey into a blend of Biblical truth, the spiritual realm, and the plight of mankind. 

A Must-Read Saga - The Faithful, Stand, Forever, and The Chronicles of Trinian.

CBM Christian Book Review - The Destruction of Liberty

Title: The Destruction of Liberty

By: Jon Anthony Hauser

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

In voicing his concerns about the future of America, Jon Anthony Hauser writes that the liberties and freedoms that America takes for granted are under attack in our current world. The societal trends in an America beset by the “woke” movement and cancel culture in the midst of a highly volatile political arena are the focus of The Destruction of Liberty. The reach of these trends extends to nearly every sphere of daily life, including the intentional suppression of the Christian values and entrepreneurial spirit that have been traditional bedrocks of American life.  To explain these and other destructive trends, Hauser states, “I explore the combination of socialism and aristocracy, as it has developed historically and now metastasizes like a cancer in contemporary America.”

As the eminent historian George Santayana once wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”  The decisions that our current leaders are making, which largely place ideological and personal concerns above the interests of the people, are taking America down the path of our own destruction.

Section One of this book delves into socialism and why it has never worked, and never will. Included are chapters that describe how it is on the wrong side of history; wrong side of economics; wrong side of God and Christianity; wrong side of competence, personal responsibility, wrong side of accountability; wrong side of human nature; and the wrong side of fanaticism, arrogance, and false religion.

Section Two of the book highlights the American socialist aristocracy on display throughout society and government today.  This encompasses public education, collegiate academia, media, government, bureaucracy, and the “deep state” that seeks to control to every aspect of the lives of Americans. Furthermore, Hauser discusses the insidious pseudo-intelligence readily accepted by our youth who never seem to question the intentions of what is referred to as Big Tech and their leftist philosophies. Hauser considers the woke culture and the politics that have permeated every fiber of the workplace, education institutions, and media, insisting on an agenda that is deliberately eroding away liberty, religious freedoms, and the entrepreneurial classes of America.

Democratic Party policies have eroded the American dream, in favor of their dream of a socialist government, and the new elite class in society, which they aspire to be a part of.  As the author makes clear, socialism has never worked for anybody, anywhere, in any period of history.  These present-day socialists have abandoned the middle class, and instead promote policies that reward this new elite class, which will stop at nothing to institutionalize their power.  The divide in contemporary America between those in power, and those they are supposed to serve, has become monumentally wider in recent years.  We need look no further than our national experience with the Covid-19 pandemic when unelected bureaucrats took it upon themselves to mandates that were clearly antithetical to the Constitution.  Everything America stands for is at stake, including the Constitution, which they would like nothing better than to eradicate or dilute to the point of irrelevancy.

Further, considering why Donald Trump is so hated by left-wing “progressives,” the author gives a full overview of current policy issues, which include the “Green New Deal” agenda and the wide open border disaster.  Biden’s role in undermining the Trump era policies of energy independence and secure borders have detrimentally contributed to the “circus” that has become our public political discourse.

This book will help readers gain a better understanding of how the country, like a runaway train, is heading down the tracks to self-destruction. Knowledge of the true God and the experience of His grace is being replaced by an atheist agenda that is unraveling society, government, and the fundamental building block of the nuclear family.  This is a watershed moment in modern-day America, which we know is already prone to expensive wars, economic crises, and the loss of civic and personal morality in society.

The Destruction of Liberty is a wake-up call to all Americans! We must stand up for liberty and justice, and understand that the freedom America was founded upon hangs in the balance.  The Democratic Party and their politically motivated allies in the media and administrative state have placed their own interests above the public interest, and they are determined to subvert the fundamental American way of life.

A Must-Read for today as we evaluate the current American political crisis!

By: Roland Ramirez

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 Stars

The Revelation of the Cross for You by Roland Ramirez, (spent twenty years in the making of this book), gives readers a greater understanding of how the crucifixion of Christ reversed curses set forth by sin. 

Taking the reader back to the beginning, this is a fast-paced read to understand the nature of crucifixion, its origins, and its purpose in the Roman Empire. He blends historical and Biblical facts, Adam and Eve’s sin compared to the cross, and how that represents our healing from the cross. We are set free from not only sin, but shame, guilt, and so much more. He weaves such an interesting read that one will come to understand that he did not receive this revelation from any other source, yet this has been revealed to the author through prayer and the Word. This is a powerful and easy-to-read book that brings wonderful and compassionate insight to the multiple blessings of the cross for you.

Brief and to the point, the author stays true to Scripture with chapters such as: The Crucifixion, The Triumphal Entry, The Prayer in the Garden, The Sweat, The Blindfold, Scourged, The Crown of Thorns, The Beard and The Cheeks, The Reed and The Staff, The Hands, The Feet, Forsaken, The Last Breath, The Side, The Focus with Multiple Purposes, The Tree of Life, Conclusion & Suggested Prayer of Salvation. All chapters focus on the wounds and significance of the wounds received by Jesus in His own body on the cross and what that means for you.

Truly, this man has written as directed by the Lord and helps one to deeply understand the suffering and the significance of The Revelation of the Cross for You! 

A highly recommended read for ALL, whether believer or not!

Walking in the Light: Following in His Steps

Title: Walking in the Light: Following in His Steps
By: Jon von Ernst
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Walking in the Light - Following in His Steps by Jon von Ernst is truly an amazing book revealing some of the deeper truths of Scripture. This book, book three of his trilogy series, emphasizes the “much more” of Romans 5:8-10 that is available to every true Christian, than just having their sins forgiven and being reconciled to God.

The author takes the reader into a deeper understanding of the power of God working within the believer’s life to enable them to live holy lives worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. He examines such timely topics as the proper understanding of grace, the question of eternal security, and the supreme importance of an intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The author believes that many professing Christians have not received the Holy Spirit and are therefore struggling with sin in their lives. He stresses the importance of their coming to know Jesus, not just to know about Jesus. He teaches that in order to have this intimate relationship with Jesus, we must begin by being born again, born of the Spirit. He does this with the ever-present encouragement for the reader not to accept anyone’s teachings, including his own, at face value, but to search the Scriptures to determine if those teachings are true.

This book and series come highly recommended for unbelievers, new believers, and Christians alike no matter their maturity level. This is an easy-to-read, yet life-altering Biblical study that anyone can understand. This is a wonderful series for group Bible study or for individual study. It is designed to bring deeper intimacy with Christ through knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Master of all things in the believer’s life.

CBM Book Review - The Ordained Demon: The Story of a Young Priest

Title: The Ordained Demon: The Story of a Young Priest

By: Oladapo Richard Osuntokun MD

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

The Ordained Demon: The Story of a Young Priest by Oladapo R. Osuntokun, MD, portrays a fictional account of a priest named Michael. Written to display the cunning deceit and treachery of Satan, this thriller is written to teach how to overcome Satan’s temptations. Exciting and sorrowful, Michael’s life was full of promise. Character, pride, and not relying on the Spirit of God all shed light on how Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Be not one of his victims as the author has blended a fictional account, yet according to the Bible, is true of Satan’s tactics.

The purpose of this book is to expose the works of the enemy upon mankind. Basing his story on the story of Hannah in the beginning, she pleads to God to end her barrenness and receives a child from God. Michael is her answer to her pleading and the author has woven fictional accounts of stories that blend other scenarios derived from Biblical representations, teaching premise from the Bible throughout each chapter.  

Growing up Michael is the epitome of the perfect child, excelling academically, never relying on himself, but rather on God’s providence. Until confusion, emptiness, and a progression of a lack of focus come into play. His life destiny seems blindsided by temptations. The book prevails in teaching how Satan attacks the children of God, stealing from their God-ordained futures.

Reflections and Straight Talk at the end of each chapter reveal the true Biblical wisdom from each chapter, alongside the encouragement and suggestions from in the straight talk portion to keep going.

This is a thrilling read that encompasses the Catholic priestly anointing and the ordaining of a demon set to bring destruction.

The fictional story is not so far-fetched! A wonderfully creative and vivid read teaching and admonishing those who do read it to know Christ, but to know Satan’s craftiness even more!

Highly recommended for a Christian fictional movie that perhaps could be made into a movie.

CBM Christian Book Review - Truth Cries Out

Title: Truth Cries Out

By: Clinton Bezan

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0+ stars

As one crying out in the wilderness like John the Baptist, “Make straight and prepare a way for the Lord,” Clinton Bezan has written his book, Truth Cries Out. Being instructed by the Lord to speak to people about their eternal salvation combined with the truth and validity of the Bible, he wants readers to know time is short. He states whether you are a believer, or a person questioning which faith is the truth, this book offers a “burden of proof” to those wavering in unbelief and skepticism. He urges all to understand that God is real, there is an afterlife of Heaven and Hell, and that God loves you, and as a good Father. The author states that God wants to save you from this world and bring you into safety here and to Heaven. 

With such chapters as: The Ultimate Moral Dilemma, The Spirit of Unbelief, Of Heaven and Hell, Universal Truth, The Science of Creation, Biblical Brilliance, Cups and Covenants, Changed Hearts and Changed Lives, God’s Hand in Our World, Signs of the Harvest, What About the Rapture? And Crying Out in the Wilderness brings readers into a deeper understanding of the Lord’s love, His transformative power, including a great understanding of the Bible and what it says about eternity for the soul that lives eternally.

Truth Cries Out is an invitation to know Jesus, and know His Word, offering an understanding of the culture we live in today. Scripture is spoken of and the author also speaks on a vast array of subjects from abortion, transgenderism, etc. are covered as society abandons God in many areas. Interesting and compelling, this book seeks to uplift those seeking truth in their lives, giving readers purpose in life and exhorts all to pursue Christ earnestly.  

Testimonies and key examples of individuals, including those in ministries and even movies of those whose lives were dramatically changed by Jesus Christ. Most were mere individuals who experienced dramatic miracles and visions that changed them. Invigorating, he gives facts of God’s miraculous power at work, as they had encountered Jesus in their daily lives. Miracle healings, visions of hell, and overwhelming conviction of obedience make this an invigorating read challenging readers to walk in daily obedience. 

This comes as a  highly recommended and informative read that speaks the truth in our generation. The author is calling out to readers and speaking to their souls. He offers eternity and salvation in the truth of salvation for unbelievers, skeptics, and even those of other religions. Truth Cries Out is a book of righteousness amid a world bent on living without God. 

Additionally, this book is recommended to believers that are burnt out and need a fresh wind in their faith to be set on fire for the Lord. For the unbeliever, this is a must-read.
